@Bennett *******

The extention of stay is added to your existing stay.

You can get the 90 days Non Imm O in the UK with £10k(450,000bt) in a UK bank account and that IS the O based on being 50 and over.

You need to go through the Courts to obtain sole custody of your half Thai child in order to obtain a 1 year extention of stay/visa based on being the childs guardian

@Andy ******

Exactly and that's at the very least. Most condos have cooking and washing facilities in your own space!

@Bra****

True that!

You wont get the 1 year extention of stay or the multi-entry Non imm O visa based on having a Thai child unless you've been through the court process to be a legal guardian of the child. You should be able to get the 90 days Non Imm O in Savannakhet or Vientiane with just your name on the childs birth certificate. You can also get a 60 days extention of stay if your name is on your child's birth certificate on any entry into the Country.

@Bra****

He'd get 60 days plus 60 days (visiting family extention) on at least one entry with the METV

@Graham *****

Haha! Yeah, strange way of wording his post.

You can extend your Non imm O visa but if it's based on being over 50 you cannot work on it, neither can you work on a tourist visa

@Luke ********

The double and tripple entry tourist visas were replaced with the multi-entry tourist visa.
