Extension of stay Thai Child.
Hi, I am due to return to Thailand on 4th April on Non Imm O visa single entry. obtained from London (Thai child).
I wanted to know if I apply for 1 year extension of stay, how long is the under consideration period?
I know I must open bank account and add funds from UK, my issue is I need to return to UK in June, I don't want to have to apply for new visa if possible.
Also we were not married when our daughter was born, how would I go getting parental rights?
Any help much appreciated.
Paul.
