Please delete this post if not relevant but have a question...

Will be applying for non O multi entry based on marriage at Savannakhet at the end of the month (aware of all requirements thanks to comprehensive answers to posts before) just unsure of the following...

Do you have to report back to immigration on TM 30 within 24hr on first entry with non O visa? If so - what are the consequences of not filing other than the 800-2000 fine?

I am in airbnb at the moment but plan to rent longterm after returning from Savannakhet...

Hi I'm staring down the barrel of retirement in Australia and would like to live in Thailand

I have a 6year old Thai daughter. Not with her mum anymore. But I support and pay for her every month and continue to do so

I am noted on the birth certificate as her dad but have not been to the family law court to have me recognized by Thai law.

It seems from what I read the retirement visa is becoming a little more difficult to obtain.

And I could get married again but I've been told marriage visas are troublesome

What is the best long term visa for me

Thanks

Now in Phuket, taking fingerprints to conduct a criminal record check before issuing marriage certificate.

This because they think foreigners are just marrying for the Visa and possibility to stay longer.

They can only check for criminal records within Thailand, it is not possible to check for records in other countries.

But if you have company or children or been long time in Thailand the papers can be done in one day, if you are here short time as tourist it will take longer.
