What Thai Elite Visa is Suitable for a Single Parent with a Baby?

Michael ********

As far as I know, that is not correct. There is no penalties for children under 15. I believe that includes fines or overstay stamps. So in other words a child does not need a visa at all until 15.

Just get elite for yourself for 5, 10 or 20 years..... Don't need a visa for a baby or child. ;)

What are the requirements for a Thai visa extension based on funds in a bank account?

Michael ********

@Robert ******

Yes that is correct, and is what I am referring to. Start the process over again with his wife as the retiree :) She already has the money in the bank in Thailand, so easy, and as mentioned, no insurance.

What are the requirements for a Thai visa extension based on funds in a bank account?

Michael ********

If they won't give your wife an extension, then get her a 90 day Non O and then extend that later, ie effectively starting the process completely again for her and separating it out from being your dependent. That is, if you go tomorrow and they say the same thing.

Can I enter Thailand after staying 3 months in the last 6 months?

Michael ********

No one can answer this question. To lessen the risk of problems, get a tourist visa. If you are worried, on arrival, it is advised to have 20k baht or same amount in other currency, an onwards ticket or return ticket, an accommodation booking (tourists don't have rental agreements)...even a booking that can be cancelled is fine.

Can my Bulgarian friend extend her stay after getting a 15-day Visa on Arrival in Thailand?

Michael ********

@Jennifer *******

Nope incorrect. They DO NOT get a 7 day extension. But, yes they MAY(or may not) get 7 days to leave though, when an extension is denied. ;)

What Are the Reasons for Visa Denial of Entry to Thailand?

Michael ********

Due to research (which many people don't do) I was familiar with most of this. But it is always good to read it. I am sure there will be plenty more silly and repeated questions, with people not checking previous posts and pinned topics, but thanks for always keeping everyone updated, and using your own time to do so.

What Are the Risks of Traveling to Thailand Without a Return Ticket on a Marriage Visa?

Michael ********

Ask your airline before flying. If you get a 90 day Non O based on marriage, you are unlikely to have problems in Thailand, but they can ask for an onward ticket if they want to.
