Thur. 26, Mar.
Just got back home after going to the NONTHABURI immigration office this morning.
My daughter (USA passport) has a 30 day tourist visa that has already been extended once. Normally no more extensions allowed. Her present visa expires on April 2.
We were 2nd in the line, first thing this morning. Immigration officer looked at all of our paperwork and indicated that everything was in order and there should be no problem extending her visa.
But, we couldn't do it today as we must have an APPOINTMENT. So, he gave us an appointment for Monday, Mar. 30.
Paperwork we showed immigration officer:
1.
Copy of first page and every page of passport that has any visas on it. (Along with TM6, of course.) Every page signed by my daughter.
2.
Letter from USA embassy with name, passport # and DOB on it. (We received this letter via e-mail and made a hard copy.)
3.
Letter showing proof of medical insurance.
4.
Print out of a canceled flight. (She had a flight to Singapore.)
5.
TM 7 form with photo.
6.
STM 2 form
7.
Copy of latest TM30 from my landlord with daughter's name on it.
8.
Copy of MY rental agreement. (Our daughter is staying with my wife and I.)
9.
Map showing where we live.
10.
And several print-outs of pictures of my daughter. Standing outside of our house, and inside of the house in several different rooms.
Again, my daughter has not yet received her "extra" 30 day extension on her tourist visa. But the officer indicated that when we go back on Monday for our appointment with the above mentioned forms, she should receive an extension.
Hope this info is helpful to some of you.
