Hi

Advice required regarding obtaining an extension of stay based on dependency. My colleague is over 50 and has been granted an extension of stay based on retirement. His daughter is trying to obtain an extension to stay due to dependency - father/daughter. Now after numerous trips to Jomtien immigration, & a trip to the Thai Embassy in Loa for a Non Imm O visa they are now saying that there is an age limit for granting an extension of stay based on dependency! FYI she is 19 and turns 20 in a few months. Now I was not aware that there was an age limit for this type of extension!

Thoughts please

From clause 2.20 for dependent extensions of Police Order 327/2557

"(4) In the case of children, adopted children, or spouse’s children, said children, adopted children, or spouse’s children must not be married, must live with the alien as part of the family, and must not be over 20 years of age except in case of the person hereof is of illness or disability and cannot live without support of father or mother: or"
