correct but maybe due to COVID border closures, they will have a heart to make exceptions. Maybe this fall we try to get it, she is 14 until next March.We had plans to go to Europe in 2019. Then Covid came.......What about her entry stamps on old passports, would that not qualify her ?
thanks for your input. Appreciate your advice. Maybe the solution is to get her dependent/ family visa here on the US passport since it has entry stamps and the following year, renew it on her Swiss. But I was told that only ChangWattana main office issues such visas, not the satellite ones : true ? Right now we don't want to travel to BKK.will wait to go when safer.Life is more important than paying an eventual fine. I found Imm to be very humane, when daughter' mom s was very pregnant and after cesarean birth, they allowed her not to do a border run, due to her condition with a medical certificate. Thanks folks
do you think if I find a way to renew her US passport, not easy by mail for minors, will they issue the family dependent visa on her US, since there is an old stamp on expired one, although my marriage visa is on Swiss ? We could not have predicted the pandemic. Maybe wait few more years and pay late fine ? Also is it true that dependent visas can only be issued at the Chang wattana office, not at satellite imm offices ?
cant use the US since marriage visa is in Swiss passport. before pandemic we had planned to go to Vientiane for her visa but cant now with pandemic restrictions and quarantine
when she was 3 month old her bio mom took her to Manila with her baby Filipino passport, there is an entry stamp although passport never renewed. Also we went to HK years ago with our US passports and also a stamp in it, but I only renew now and use our Swiss passports, no stamps in hers,no longer the US one. what do you think ? A lawyer in BKK says we can get only at Chang wattana main imm office a dependent family visa since I am on marriage visa here. A while a go I had asked about an ED visa which must be applied only outside Thailand , but dependent is easier
not a mess, another member compared my situation to another person. Anyway, yes, I asked the question to many. Success in life is to ask ask 1000 questions to 1000 people, said a billionaire being interviewed , 1000 being just as a matter of speech. I just want to be able to find, download and print the application and instructions forms before going to imm in BKK Its that simple. Thanks folks
