That's correct! The submitted TM30 will look like one of the following three documents. Show the image to the hotel, and if they submitted the TM30, they can print off a copy for you to hand it to the immigration officer.

Which immigration office did you contacted, and did you talk to an immigration officer, or the volunteer/ assistant? Remember, you can not pick and choose your immigration office in Thailand.

1. The applicant’s passport and a copy of:

a. The data “picture” page.

b. The most recent visa (if applicable).

c. All entry stamps or extension of stay (if applicable) since arrival.

d. The departure card (“TM 6”) that should be stapled in the passport.

2. The Extension of Stay Application Form (“TM 7”).

3. A copy of the submitted Notification of Residence of Foreigners form ("TM 30”).

4. 2x passport sized (4cm by 6cm) photos.

5. 1,900 THB processing fee.

To get an in-country 90 day Non-O Visa Based on Marriage to a Thai National, no seasoning of funds is required 🙂

>if Applying for it in Thailand

I'm not sure what you mean. To acquire a one year extension of stay based on marriage, the money must be seasoned for two months. You can only get an extension of stay in Thailand.

Yes you can. However it is an optional extension of stay, and does not need to be granted by the immigration officer.

@Ryan *******

You're correct; the passport is invalid, however the visas and stamps are still valid inside the passport. A foreigner can go to the immigration office and request the valid stamps to be transferred from the invalid passport to the valid passport.

@Deepanjali ******

1. You will file a police report for the missing document at the nearest police station where you believe you lost your TM 6 card.

2. You will take the police report to the immigration office and ask for a new TM 6 card.

3. You will fill out the "arrival" part of the TM 6 card, and give it to the immigration officer. You will keep the "departure" part of the TM 6 card in your passport.

@Mauricio *****

ANOTHER option you can try if you want to go on the completely legal route (AND assuming the immigration office will let you since the child's a minor) is to acquire a "one year extension of stay based on being a Thai citizen" for the minor child at the immigration office.

This requires proof of Thai citizenship, including a housebook, or other proof that the child is a Thai citizen. The fee is 1,900 THB, and will be renewed once a year.

I expect the immigration office will simply tell you to keep the child on overstay though.

@Mauricio *****

I'm not talking about "getting around the system". I'm saying the most efficient solution would be to let the half-Thai child to enter Thailand and go on overstay until you receive the child's Thai passport. Once the child has the Thai passport, bounce out with the child and have the child return on the Thai passport.

It's the most simplest, cost effect solution without any punishments or penalties .

1. Schools may not allow a child to enroll if they are currently on over stay.

2. The child's only 19 months old. The child won't go to school for another two years at the earliest.

3. It does not take two years to get a Thai passport (for a Thai citizen).

4. The bordering countries are reopening by air and should be completely reopen within two years.

Keep the process simple and cheap. Let the child go on overstay, and bounce out when the borders reopen by air with the child.

Don't make the process more complicated than what it is.
