I am 49.
I am on a 1 year non-O extension based on marriage.
My extension expires in September 2022.
My I'll be 50 in August 2022.
My wife wants a divorce as soon as possible with mutual consent.
I have one half child (my son).
I'll need to inform immigration after the divorce, which means my visa extension will be cancelled immediately.
My options are:
- I can apply for a 60-day family/son visit extension.
- I can beg my wife the delay the divorce 1 year and apply for a retirement visa.
- I can extend my visa with one year based on having a half Thai child.
- I can just not inform immigration of the divorce? Can this have serious consequences?
When should I apply for the extension based on having a half Thai child, before or after the divorce? Will immigration accept joined custody on the divorce paper of the amphur (not a court paper) as a reason for a 1 year extension?
