July 27, 201411 yr Hi there, need the advice and recommendation of the experts. Since everything comes at the right time, the immigration law in Thailand is changing and so do not know where to go because the professionals don't give me a right and straight answer. My situation is: I'm mother of thai baby, 4 moths old. I got tourist visa for the lasts two years making visa runs around. Last time I went to Penang and there they give me the Tourist 60 days visa (this was the second one i got. Legal). When we arrive to the border the official don't want to let me inn. Starts asking about my son... if he was mine?? while I was holding his thai passport. At 7 am in the morning... very sweetie starting day. Because he spoke to my partner he let me inn. He wrote on my passport that I should marry if not no more visas for me O_o The thing is: in less than three weeks my visa expire. Can I apply for a Non Immigrant O visa? if yes, where is the best place to do it? Which are the requirements? Thanks to all.
July 27, 201411 yr Marry, get extention at immigration. No need to show any proof of funds because you are a female. You would be eligible to apply for a Thai passport after 5 annual extentions.

July 27, 201411 yr Marry, get extention at immigration. No need to show any proof of funds because you are a female. You would be eligible to apply for a Thai passport after 5 annual extentions. First two sentences are correct. Third isn't. For citizenship, a foreign email married to a thai male can apply after one year of marriage if they have a child, and the husband earns more than 15,000 baht per month.
July 27, 201411 yr 12 Month Extensions based on having a Thai child. 400,000 Baht in a Thai bank or 40,00 monthly income. Or as said marry your Thai partner and no money is needed.
July 27, 201411 yr Author See this other thread for reference: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/689974-rule-for-1-time-visa-extension-based-on-thai-child/ Paz, some officials said me that because I'm woman i don't need to proof about $... because is my partner who support me. Isn't it?

Isn't it? I don't know. What is sure is that you can have 60 days extensions (clause 2.24) without proving any money. Once you have secured that you have more time for working on the one-year extension.
July 27, 201411 yr Thanks for your responses. Just wondering.. if I don't want to marry? Normaly you can get a O-Visa also for having a thai baby and taking care the baby. You would need the birth certificate where is stated you are the mother and than apply for one.

These can be had for many different reasons.

July 27, 201411 yr This sounds good!! I can apply it on the nearest Immigration Office? Yes. I think in your case you should be able to extend your tourist visa for 60 days instead of 30.
July 28, 201411 yr You are eligible to get non immigrant O visas from a embassy or consulate.as the mother of a Thai child. You could also get a multiple entry non-o also. You can also apply for 60 day extensions for any type of entry with no financial proof needed. You can apply for a one year extension based upon being the parent of a Thai. You would need 400k baht in a Thai bank or 40k baht income. If you were married to your child's father you could get a one year extension with no financial proof.
July 28, 201411 yr Marry, get extention at immigration. No need to show any proof of funds because you are a female. You would be eligible to apply for a Thai passport after 5 annual extentions. wow, wow, wow...stop... No need to show any proof of funds because you are a female ..... As a female you don't have to give a proof of income for Spouse Visa? Serious??
July 28, 201411 yr Yes, seriously. Only foreign males married to a Thai female must show financials. A foreign woman married to a Thai male does not.

What about extension to support thai child?
July 28, 201411 yr Being the parent of a Thai child requires an income of 40,000 a month OR 400,000 in the bank. The only difference is that the money doesn't need to be seasoned.
July 28, 201411 yr And after 1 year Non O visa a foreign female can apply for a Thai citizenship?! And also with that she could work without any restrictions? Don't get me wrong. I am personally happy and glad that a foreign woman is able to do that and I am convinced that a mother of a child should have some advantages. But compare the same situation if you have a "Ding Dong". I know the first months after and probably the 6 months before the delivery is a practically a 24 hour job for every mother. But a father (I am speaking about my own experience) who loves his child and cares of it has also a lot of doings in this time and a lot of responsibility. Compare that to a Male. Only 1 year visa if you show that you have 400k THB balance or 40k per month income from outside the country (who has that if not already rich or retired or working without WP). And also then a permanent resident or even citizenship is absolutely not possible. So as a father you are compared to a mother not a person second degree more like a person third degree to you child.

July 28, 201411 yr The timeframe in which a foreign woman married to a Thai antional can apply for Thai naitonaity depends on whether she has children or not. If they have a child it is after 1 year. If you have Thai naitonality you would of course not be subject to a work permit.
July 28, 201411 yr And for a Male it is absolutely not possible to get a permanent or citizenship without legaly working here right?
July 28, 201411 yr And for a Male it is absolutely not possible to get a permanent or citizenship without legaly working here right? Thai nationality would not be possible, but officially permanent residency would be possible based on the Thai wife's income.

July 28, 201411 yr And for a Male it is absolutely not possible to get a permanent or citizenship without legaly working here right? Thai nationality would not be possible, but officially permanent residency would be possible based on the Thai wife's income. What is the annual salary required? "officially" and "would be possible" mean that it is very difficult, right?
July 28, 201411 yr Just for reference about the naturalization: http://thailaws.com/law/t_laws/tlaw0474.pdf . The points system : http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/516756-points-system-for-citizenship/ Yes it's easier for women married to Thai or having Thai children. Thais apparently value the women more. At least they've eased the Thai language & 5 year residency period for husbands of Thai women. Still gotta make the $$$$ or no go. Edited July 28, 201411 yr by DrTuner
July 28, 201411 yr The salary requirement, shown with tax documents, is at least 30,000 baht a month. A higher income is much better. But yes, this will be frowned upon, as the norm is that the male provides for the family and the process is designed to check if you are an asset to Thai society, for which it is preferred that you work.
