MrEnigma Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 What type of visa can I get my partner who is from Cambodia (Im from UK) Our Children currently go to School in Thailand, and where born in Thailand, they are 8 years and 3 years old. Seems with all the crackdown that she now has to leave Thailand every 2 months to get a visa. We did an education visa many years ago, and really do not want to do that again. So what options if any do we have to get a 1 year visa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 She could get an extension of stay based upon being the parent of a child attending school. They would have to be on extensions of stay based upon attending school for her to apply for the extension. What is their current status here if not on extensions of stay or a non-ed visa? To apply for the extension she would need 500k baht in a Thai bank for 30 days for the first extension and 90 days after that. To apply for the extension she would need to get a single entry non-o visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perthperson Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Can we get the whole picture ? On what basis do you stay in Thailand ? I presume by talking about a partner you are not married. What visas do the children have? Has your partner been using tourist visa as a means of staying in Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phuketrichard Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) Quote ..... she now has to leave Thailand every 2 months to get a visa. are u saying she was staying illegally before and now? as a Cambodian can ONLY get a visa for thailand in Phnom Penh, she can keep doing the 60 day tourist visa than get the 30 day extension so needs return to Cambodia every 90 days OR find someone to hire her and than she can apply for a 2 year L-A migrant visa, get a wp and health card as well. I just did that for my Cambodian gf OR you can go the support /school route if you have the $$$ , The Thai embassy will issue her a single entry NON o visa if her name is on the Kids Birth certificate, than she can extend for 1 year Edited July 4, 2017 by phuketrichard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly the children need visas and extensions of stay prior to the lady being able to seek an extension for herself. The process may be challenging if the lady is undertaking this process without help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEnigma Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) I read that persons born in Thailand, that are Alien, do not need a visa to stay in Thailand, until they are 16. Partner has had many visas before, including education, and the work permit with health card, buts lets stay on topic please. Think I will have to see my Lawyer and see what is indeed the case.

After birth here they can stay indefinitely. But if the they leave the country they need a visa or visa exempt entry when they re-enter the country. Children under the age of 15 do not pay overstay fines is the only rule that exists but do get overstay stamps. That does not exempt them from needing visas and/or extensions of stay.

ubonjoe Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 6 minutes ago, MrEnigma said: starting to get complicated now. Not that complicated since they have UK passports. With paperwork from the school they are attending they could get a single entry non-ed visa at a nearby embassy or consulate. Then apply for one year extensions of stay at immigration. Then when they have the extension their mother could get a single entry non-o visa in Phnom Penh by showing either or both of the children's birth certificates plus a copy, copies of their passport photo page and extension stamp. Then when she has 500k baht in a Thai bank for 30 days she can apply for an extension for being their parent. She could get the extension based upon one of the children and then you could also get an extension based upon the other child attending school when you have the 500k baht in the bank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Just now, MrEnigma said: Can this be applied for in Thailand? without children leaving the country? Since you children have never left the country (or on an overstay) they would have to at least leave and re-enter the country to get at least a visa exempt entry then they could convert to the non-ed visa at some immigration offices. Overall it would be easier in the long run to get the non-ed visa while outside the country. The children's mother could more than likely get the non-o visa at the same time the children get their non-ed visa. Embassies and consulates will normally do that. After they get the visas then could then apply for the extensions at the local immigration office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
