@Stuart *********

That's what I told them too. Why in the world would the mother give up those rights. I had a visa for Thai family one year extension based on son in Khon Kaen prior coming too Phuket. In Phuket they wouldn't have it and told me this. I ended getting a yearly marriage extension and drew an especially nice map for them.

Non O based on marriage. 400k in the bank and apply. Don't need an agent. Ask the immigration where you're going to live for the required paperwork.

What are the steps and advice for obtaining an International Driving Permit for Thailand?

Tobie *****

It's an international permit that is only valid with your original lisence. Basically it's a translation from your license into English. If your license is already in English you shouldn't have to get a IDP. However, this is Thailand and it might be worth to get it just in case.
