ORIGINAL POSTER

Just been to my local immigration in khon kaen to pick up My new yearly extension, it was initially under consideration for 60 days but received a text 4 weeks later to say it was ready so 28 days, also was given a new 90 day report from todays date instead of my next date what would have been due at the end of December, I didn’t know they did that.

When I applied for my new extension it was a complete nightmare and had visions of it been refused due to all the questions i was been asked this year and with the 60 days under consideration and extra documents they asked for this year but today it was in and out within 15 mins after getting my re-entry permit issued as well….. very happy for another year.

yes but it all depends on the land office… I’ve heard some won’t let a minor own land / property but others will…. Every office is different

I’m a single dad and have full custody so on dependant visa…. This year they wanted a witness to say I am looking after my kid alone and the house I stay In I bought it in my kids name who is only 6 years old… they wanted to know how I was able to put the house in my sons name, so all documents from the land office where this was done.

Ok. Thanks for that. Yes an unusual case, but I'm sure there may others similarly affected who will find this information of value

yes 100% not the normal case they are used to handling… but this is my 5th extension now and in the past been quite easy but I think it was with the house been in my sons name that was the issue… as it was only bought during my last extension…. Hopefully next year plain sailing like previous years.
