so not 9 months ? More like 8 and half

How long can you repeat this process ? i.e. can you just keep getting one tourist visa after another or is there a limit ??

@Jan *****************

is that right ???

I can see that you get 60+30 on any single visit.

So are you saying get a 6 month ME visa and enter at the start of the visa 6m validity. Then take the 90d (60+30) which takes you to month 4 of your visa. Then enter again and take just 60d; that takes you to month 6 of your visa, so you leave and re-enter in the final week of your visa and take another 90d (60+30). So, that makes just under 8 months. I can’t see how you are getting to 9 months ??

Did you get your name on the birth certificate, naming you as the father ? If you did, then you may be able to avoid the court process. If you didn’t you will have to go though the court process.

I would definitely recommend entering on his Thai passport.

27.3 baht

Given up on Air BnB for a long time. High prices (driven by their cut, and by greedy landlords) and very little else to justify it (their support and service is crap).

The disruptor just bacame a part of the system and a part of the problem for me so I ditched it.

@Baz *******

there you go, so you need to do just that and decide which is more important, because in Thailand you cant get both.Come to think of it i struggle to think of a city in Thailand that does not have the 'sex for sale vibe'. The only difference being in the 'real' Thai cities, the customers are Thai rather than foreigners but they are full of brothels, massage parlours and karaokes that are every bit as much at it as the girly bars and clubs in the tourist areas. The only difference is that it's a bit more discrete.

Your problem is that number two excludes virtually every city outside of the tourist areas, and number 3 excludes all the tourist areas. Better decide which is more important mate, or look somewhere other than Thailand ….
