Thanks, to clarify that

@Stuart ********

Hei, I have to ask you , since you are reliable.

I arrived on a 60 days exempt, made a extension 30 days.

Then converted to a Non-o visa and got another 90 days.

I tried to make a 90 day report, and was told by the immigration officer( Khon kaen), that I didn’t need to do a report since I’m not on a long-term stay.

So for the next time, is this by the book or is it this immigration officer’s conclusion?

Thanks in advance .

If it was me.

1 . Come here and get 60 days visa exempt.

2. get married.

3. after 35 days, go to immigration, and apply for a 90 days Non O visa . Reason marriage.

When that is approved ( takes between 14-22 days in Khon Kaen.

4. Go and Try to open a bank account.

Season the money and then after 3 months , go and apply for 12 months extension.

One way to do it.

Good luck

P.s Start the proceeding to legislate your status as a father, in the thai court.

@Doug ********

I’m swedish, and my name is printed in my girlfriends blue housebook. As a father of our son.

Try : true money wallet.

He represented me in the court , to get my papers who shows that I are the father of my son. As I was not married when he was born.

Maybe I can find a phone number to him.

The time through the court depends on your lawyer.

I was told 15 years ago that it could take between 6-12 months to make this paper from the court.

My lawyer did it in three days, it cost me 7000 baht in Khon Kaen.

Good luck to you

In other words. You can change your visa at your local immigration inside Thailand. But its a timeframe, I just changed mine at Khon kaen immigration

You can withdraw 150.000 over the bankcounter at krungsri bank, with your card.
