Extensions to Non Imm O - Support Thai Child

[JimmyGreaves]

Has anyone got this extension to visa based on supporting your thai son/daughter?
Is police order 777/2551 up-to-date?

Points 2.18 is the extension I need to apply for as I'm not married but living happily with thai partner (mother) and our daughter for many years. Daughter now 5 years old.

Interpretations

Hi JG


When I've done it in the past, immigration wanted copies of the house book, passport copies, and a copy of the birth certificate. When I gave them a copy of each of the three birth certificates and a copy of the marriage certificate, the woman officer asked if I want to support my wife or children

I said all of them, but was told no, so I said okay, I want to support children. The next question was, which of the three children do I want to support. All three I said. Can only do for one was the reply.............go figure.


All in all though, not really a problem, but if they're having a bad day, they'll want to see the child there with you.

Excellent Takiap, so you have actually done it?

You are married which is slightly different so I hope that doesn't go against me.

I have this type of visa for support of my Thai born son. If you are applying on the basis that you want to support a child, your marital status is irrelevant.

Excellent again, Does the 400K need to have been in your account for a specific amount of time? Do you have to get a letter from the bank confirming this?
