Why would the officer tell me this time and 8 months ago that it's possible? When I was in the office yesterday the Immigration officer said no problems with extending again just come back @6th June When I got my SETV extension on 20th April I asked another officer who I had spoken with @8months ago if I could extend and answer was yes. When I went @8 months ago with my young child it was the same officer who told me I could extend 60 more days. This has become confusing as what your saying varies from Immagration and Tod Daniels comment just above.

Ok Robert thankyou for explaining that.

As I said it was only a guess. Never intended as advice. Sorry

You can extend a SETV 30 days then apply for a 60 day visa based on having a Thai child. So I guess it's 2 different types of visa. When the tourist is used up your on a different visa for child.

Also cheers Tod for explaining the Thai drivers licence on another post a day ago. Will be getting my residency cert from them hopefully on the next visit and will apply for 2yr licence. Hopefully things go well in that. Cheers

Was just a little to keen to get my visas in order. Thankyou both Robert and Todd. Cheers

Ahh I see what might have happened then. If that was the case she never explained that to me.

Sorry guys I understand now if that's the case I see I was admitted till 11th may same day I went in.

Thanks for explaining my mistake.

Did I make a mistake by going a few days to soon?

No I got my 30 day extension on the 20th April out till 10th June as I arrived 13 March.

Cheers for you quick response Tod.

Yes I too was under the impression it was as you said. But wasn't to be.

The officer also explained that to the staff that prepare all the papers and they looked as confused as me!

At least she checked my papers said they all ok and told me to come back @6th June and all will be ok.

I wish it was as we thought then much better peace of mind changing my ticket out till early August.

Hey Brad. Your location might help.
