there's a child of 12 to consider. The house is rented with funds from his family. No reason they can't make a plan after September to change reason for 1 year extension to retirement then get divorced?
he's due to extend on basis of marriage. Been married 12 years. I believe, he does not need to agree to the divorce and hes suggested they come to an agreement for a time ahead ( 50 in September) once funds are seasoned.
ok. Thanks. I thought it was. Bit of a problem for someone who's on extension based on marriage, and wife wants divorce just before they are 50 and almost due to apply for extension. 😡
they didn't say it was against the law. They were unhappy with his loaded passport, his obvious living abroad, his comment about staying 60 days, and maybe a bit of attitude ( which is coming across here too). They may have been over zealous, or a tad jobs worth, but it's their job.
it's the way you describe it now, you give off an attitude. Try being a bit more contrite. The IO did his job. It's what he's meant to do. You indicated you might stay beyond the 30 days exemption and the IO advised you get a visa. Thailand welcomes tourists, in a way many countries do not, we are very lucky.
in your replies here about the IO and act like entitled. You have a nearly full passport, you told them you were coming for 60 days, you had no visa, then you blame them and ask if Thailand doesn't want tourists.
first of all. . you told the IO you wanted to stay 60 days. You did not have a visa to do that. So that's most likely the problem. Nothing to do with not liking tourists.
when you arrived you hadn't already checked in to hotel/ accomodation so wouldn't have a TM30. Arrival Immigration wouldn't ask for this. You're now asking about going to an immigration office to extend stay, different thing to arriving.
