>However, on my last visit to immigration the officer was not happy as on the day when the deposit finishes the balance in my bank account is entered as 0 and then back up to 800,000 baht as I carry it forward for another year.

Who is withdrawing ht money and bringing it back up to the 800K THB? Is that you, or the bank?

@Graham *****

Here's what happened:

1. On November 23rd, 2021, the poster entered Thailand on a 60 day single entry tourist visa. I knew they entered on a single entry tourist visa because the visa is stamped "TR". A single entry tourist is voided on entry. They could stay until January 21, 2022.

2. On December 6, 2021, the poster left Thailand.

3. On January 1, 2022, the poster returned to Thailand on a visa exempt. I know they entered on a visa exempt because of the ผ symbol next to the entry date. On a visa exempt, a person could stay for 29 days. They could stay until January 30, 2022.

@Kane ********

Unusual they are granting the Multiple Entry Non-O Visa based on being over 50, but

@Bobby *******

's advice is correct. Just leave the country and return. On each entry you will be stamped for 90 days.

@Lewis *********

You are on a 30 day visa exempt. You will need to get a 30 day extension of stay based on tourism. There is no advantage in waiting until the last day to get this extension of stay, because it is added on to your existing "admitted to" stamp.

>My visa runs out on the /22

What visa are you currently on? The date on the visa sticker/ eVisa is almost always different then your "admitted to" stamp.

1. What's YOUR nationality? Are you Thai?

2. >Thailand, which tourist visa will allow him to stay in Thailand the longest before extending?

I recommend a single entry tourist visa. This allows a person to stay for 60 days, extendable once for another 30 days.

>and then hopefully get him on the Thai Child Non-O Visa

Since you and him are not married, he will need to be granted parental rights by the Amphur office I believe. This is a simple process since you (the mother) are agreeing to it. It may take some time though, but I'm not sure. This can also be granted automatically if you and him are married.

Once he is granted parental rights, he can get an in-country Non-O visa based on raising a half-Thai child followed by a one year extension of stay based on raising half-Thai child. He can acquire a work permit on this extension of stay.

@Kane ********

wait... what exactly do you have? Can you post a copy of your visa/ eVisa?

@Melissa ********

Correct! You would go to Muang Thong Thani.

>If so would a letter from my hotel be enough?

No. You will need ONE of the following from the image below. The HOTEL can submit the TM30 online using one of the three applications:
