Problems in immigration Pattaya for OYSP

Featured Replies

One of my friend every year gets OYSP in Pattaya Immigration office, since 7 years already. It has a visa Non Immigrant O because he has national thai child with parental rights sanctioned by a court.

This year, he have not granted a visa because at immigration office need also to see child's mother.

This sound new, mother presence should not be required, because the purpose of visa it's only the maintenance of the child, and the relationship with mother ended many years ago.

My friend also bring with him the 10 year old child to the Immigration, they interviewed the child who has confirmed all that his father said.

Does anyone know what's going on? It's normal?

He apparently was a applyIing for a extension of stay (not a visa or a OYSP) based upon being the parent of a Thai.

I can see no reason for them wanting the child's mother to be present since she has given up parental rights. I think he needs to ask for a supervisor or higher level officer to get it sorted out.

If your friend is looking for a visa he will not get one from immigration.

More detail is needed before advice can be given.

If he has the required documentation and proof of the money needed there should not be a problem.

If there is a problem he should ask to speak to a supervisor.

Yes he has also documentation about deposit 400.000 baht.

But apparently they change some rule.

"... because is not anymore request."

You'll have to explain that. Do you mean it's old or out-of-date?

Ok sorry.

Why not change the acronym to O YES ( One Year Extension of Stay?)

is the Thai son over 19 years old? could be a reason that he was denied

There is no age limit to get an extension based upon being the parent of the Thai. If you read the OP you will find that the child is 10 years old.

I just post this story to know if anyone else get same problem.

I am especially surprised that the office has refused to consider the documentation regarding to the decision of the Thai court.
They give him back That document.

Thanks for asking. I was hesitating (who wants to look stupid biggrin.png).

Finally my friend gets today extension of stay, but based on long interview with child's mom and not considering the document of court attesting parental rights.


If anyone hear news about this kind of visa please let me know.

Nice report.

Thank you for taking the time to share your friend's experience. This will be of use to others.

Thank you for sharing your friend's Immigration experience. I'm still just getting an 'O' every 15-16 months and making visa run every 90-120 days. Costly, but less aggravation.

umm...read the OP first mate, he took his '10 YEAR OLD CHILD' with him to immo.

About 90 days report I know they are efficient.

Not same case.
