Hopefully I misunderstood them. By the rules you need to do 90 day report for him but he would not be fined for not reporting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolanddrums Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 Thanks for the help again Joe. Ok I understand most of this . I will apply for my 90 Non immigrant Visa shortly after arriving in Jomtien . ..... Then go Thai consulate/embassy in Bkk to get sons Non Immigrant 90 Visa. Then go Jomtien again to get 12 month extension based on retirement for me (once 60 day 800k bank balance has elapsed).. and 12 month piggyback extension for him at the same time . We will then need a stamp to allow us out ( Back to UK around 5 April) then back into Thailand 1 month later ? ( Around 5 May).....Is that it, are we all done and dusted then? Have I forgotten anything? Do I need any papers ? Where does sons BC with apostille and stamped by thai embassy in UK come in ?.. sorry for being a complete numpty on this .

Lite Beer Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) There are no Thai Embassies or Consulates in Bangkok or anywhere else in Thailand. They are in other countries. Edited January 28, 2017 by Lite Beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to go to a Thai embassy or consulate in another country to get the non-o visa for your son. That is why I suggest you both get them at the same time at an embassy or consulate. If you get the 90 day entry at immigration you would need a re-entry permit to keep it valid when your return from getting you child's non-o visa. 12 minutes ago, Rolanddrums said: We will then need a stamp to allow us out ( Back to UK around 5 April) then back into Thailand 1 month later ?

Lite Beer Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) As Joe said, best plan is for you both to get Single Entry Non Imm O Visas at a Thai Embassy in a country near Thailand. Then you can both apply for 12 month extensions in Jontiem. Edited January 28, 2017 by Lite Beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vientiane is a good location to get one. You will not get a non-o in the UK for being 50 or over unless you are 65 or over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolanddrums Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) Ok, so I need Non 0 ( (90 day visa that I can extend by 1 year at Jomtien later based on retirement) ... So entering on tourist Visa this time, my Non O needs to be applied for either at Jomtien immigration ( For example) or at a Consulate or Embassy in another country but NOT from UK.... correct so far ? ... My sons Non O can only be applied for from outside Thailand only (from an Embassy or Consulate) but in this case including from UK. ...His extension cannot be applied for until I have my Non O with the extra 12 month extension to... right ? ....Any extension will need a re-entry stamp to allow us to go back UK then back again for 4 weeks in April. This can be be done same time as the Extensions are applied for.. right ? ... I could get all my Visa/ Extension/Re-entry stamp done this time in LOS.... and sort sons out from UK in April ...right? .. Dont particularly want to go neighbouring Country to Thai it it can be avoided easily. Edited January 28, 2017 by Rolanddrums more info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying once I"ve got my 1 year retirement visa ... I can do something else (Extension of stay) for him that piggybacks mine very easily ? Excuse the ignorance ... what exactly is it and how do I go about it . " I want to do everything as a british citizen ...not Thai if possible." People are giving you advice on the best / easiest way to go about it and you say that comment. Get him dual citizenship. Give the mother some cash, that usually gets them off their lazy <deleted>.

gemguy Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 As others have said, the child and or the father will not have any problems if the child overstays on whatever visa the child is on or uses to enter the country. They do not enforce the overstay rules on children under 15. However, the immigration authorities and the Thai embassies and the Thai consulates and any Immigration lawyer familiar with Thai immigration laws will ALWAYS advise you to arrange for the child to have proper immigration status. If it is long term and involves the 1 year extensions then the dates should be the same dates as the fathers so in effect the beginning of your 1 year extension is the beginning of your child's one year extension and ending at the same time and needing to renewed at the same time your extension is needing to be renewed. So in effect you are both time coordinated and your child's immigration status is attached to yours That is the terminology the immigration officials used when they explained to me everything that I would have to do if I wanted to arrange my born in Thailand child to have the proper long term immigration status. I my case it was recommend that the child be "attached" , so to speak to the mothers current long term immigration status In your case, more than likely obtaining a Thai passport for your son would be the easier route, in the long run.....but make sure you do not ever present the child's British passport to the Thai immigration authorities or then the Immigrations officials get all bureaucratic silly and treat him like a foreign citizen and most likely will ignore his Thai passport ...as that has happened before.
