How are you running out of time? My friends are in the middle of a 10 - 15 battle to adopt a daughter.

Get an OA visa, come and go as you wish for one year, second year just get a multiple reentry permit and you have up to 2 years of hassle free come and go. Then do it again. After that, do it again or settle in Thailand. Each entry is 1 year, so go out and come back the day before your actual visa expires and you are good to go for the second year.

I didn't think it was a province. 5555. I should actually read things better. It is a warning for future posters. Thanks!

What province ? This may actually get useful advice! Why do people post in Thailand groups without the province?

Each immigration should be the same, except they all have different ways of fixing problems.

@Ադամ *******

just necessary in the second year if you leave, not needed until after the first year expires.

It can be made into a 2 year visa by leaving a fews days before it expires and coming back to Thailand. Each entry is 1 year, but if you stay more than 3 months without leaving, you will need to do a 90 day report. Simple process. Explained multiple times before in this group.

Just put it in a washing machine and it will get the ink out.

Location would help you find someone that can actually help. It's no good finding a Pattaya agent if you're in Chiang Mai.

@Ken ******

might be able to assist.

Where does he want to live? You should be getting visas from immigration in the province you live in.
