@Tod ********

ok thanks.

@Tod ********

unfortunately the Italian embassy is not releasing any letters 😔

@Tod ********

yes I know we are seeking a first visa. IO officers told us “no” 3 times without even looking at the docs since March, so I know chances are super slim, was trying to see if there were any success stories

@Tod ********

no that’s the problem, last entrance was on 30-day visa exemption-for the parent. The kid is ok with his extension of stay.

@Benjamin *****

ok thanks a lot!

@Benjamin *****

thank you! We have it all and more... we tried already in March and April and it was not successful (officer did not even look at the documents, just said “no”). The parent has a history of 3 years of extension of stay as guardian of the same child but had a problem at renewal earlier this year - so was supposed to start the process again abroad but COVID happened...-

We are getting ready to try again, but was wondering if anybody was successful in this process at this stage...

@Benjamin *****

yes the child has a valid extension of stay based on education in an international school, valid until January 2021.

@Tod ********

thank you!

@Tod ********

ah yes I know 1 ed-visa per guardian. So we are not trying to do this on the same kid but 2 kids

@Tod ********

thank you so much! 3 lawyers told me “no cannot do...” and then yesterday I found your group! Wow had I known this before!

Just 2 questions about the money:

1. Can they have bene transferred to me by my spouse from his thai bank account? (He holds a guardian visa also)

2. What is the time requirement for the thb 500k? 1 month, 3 months or “nothing” for this first guardian visa?

Applying at chaeng Wattana.

Thanks so much!
