Thread: Long term Visa options

Fluke, kid can get a UK passport after birth, no age requirement.
Think you need to see a lawyer and establish what your G/Fs status in Thailand is. Documentation could be refugee status and it's the Thai Governments policy to repatriate refugees back to Burma.

How can the family legally own land, only Thais can.
Your son will get a Thai birth certificate and your G/F can have one to, doesn't give citizenship, but records the birth.

Get the kid a UK passport ASAP, if things go wrong at least he won't be stateless. Jim

Been told that its in the region of 400 000 Baht .

It would make a nice sinsot......

I'd get her to dig a little deeper about how. Much it can be done for but as you are a Farang people will already expect more. I would try not showing my face at any meetings.

Think I would be a bit wary of that, ID card means citizenship and passport.
Not heard of ways around the system, being granted asylum and being granted citizenship, would think are 2 different things.

Don't think I would part with any money until I did a bit of checking.
You may get more info from the UN and there agents out there, on what is and isn't possible.

As said The Thai Government policy is to repatriate when Burma is deemed safe, for peoples to return. That's why they have been issuing birth certificates, as per UN rules. That way they have documentation that they were born in Thailand of Burmese family and Burma will have to except them back, when Burma is deemed to be one of the good guys again. Jim

But She was born at home in the Mountains with no record of her being born anywhere .

Makes no difference where she was born, just takes some one to verify the birth, village head or sub district Governor, elders, uncles etc. Kids are born out my way in the mountains and can be years before they get registered at the Amphor and they can be born in Lao, just use family to say this side of the line.
Wife was 6 months old before the village head took the details for births to town, no roads then, just dirt trails and a hot border war.
You need to look at options, look out side the square, sometimes there are ways around things, but get the kid a UK passport. That will give the G/F an out as well. Jim

LOL, FFS this is getting ridiculous .
Hes on the family register document saying that hes her Brother, along with her sister and its got both their Parents on it as well , saying that they are the Childrens parents and hes just turned 17 and I ve known him since he was 14 and used to see him go to School everyday .
LOL, dont worry, there isnt a possibility that hes really my gfs secret Thai husband

So if they're all official and as family can vouch for your misses - what's stopping her getting ID and a passport?

No one in the Family has full I.D (apart from her Brother, who only got it last year when he turned 16 and spent his whole life in Thailand and could prove it through Birth certificates and school records) .
There are many people in the North of Thailand who are in the same position , the Gov are making some effort to give the people I.D.s , some have already got it and others like my gf have applied and are waiting for further developments

No, not him, but Ill update that story .

I was in a bar last night and was told about its possible to get a one year type O Visa which also allows you to work, for B26 000 and it comes from within the local immigration office and that you dont have to leave the Country to obtain one .
Now , I have no intention of getting one , but the guy claims that they are legitimate , has anyone had any experience of these kind of Visas?

Are they as good as legitimate ?

Fluke, simply put, visas are issued outside the country, extensions of stay inside the country and work permits by the labour department.
So what the guy is saying sounds a bit suspect. Jim
