Thread: Non o visa based on thai marriage to visa based on Thai children

Hi, i'm living near Rayong with my Thai wife and our kids with a visa based on marriage (1-year extension of permission of stay Non O). My wife got a job in the south. First, i plan to stay alone with our children, then i'll move to join her later, in 6 months or more. I guess it's a problem according to the immigration rule if we don't live together. So i think about to change my visa to extension based on Thai children. How can i do that ? Do i need to go out or can i apply at the office immigration at Rayong please ?


Thanks for yours advice !


Cheers

Not that easy. Though different offices may be more accommodating than others. Due to the funds not needing to be seasoned, they generally knock back the application if married, unless you have full legal custody of the children through the courts, some offices also accept a stamped official doc from the amphur.

If it was easy, every Mendo, NZDick and Harry would choose it over a marriage extension due to the funds not needing to be seasoned. Money in the bank for 2 minutes vrs money in the bank for 2 months. Hence why they generally refuse the application if married to the mother, and insist on an extension based on marriage.

Go to talk to your local IO, explain the situation and see what they say.
