48+ million Posted Image Has to be typo.

or

maybe more substance to the claims that Thai polls start at the desired result (for the person or organisation paying for the research) and work backwards to justify it.... Posted Image

Having spent 20+ years doing Data Processing for Market Research companies I can assure that it is not just Thai polls that start with the desired result Posted Image

Won't this rule make the entire concept of 'getting a visa on the basis of having a Thai child' completely redundant?

If you have to be married to get one, then you'd just as easily get a visa on that basis (being married) alone. Or have I missed something?
That is my understanding as well.

I have a an Extension of Stay based on support of a Thai Child. I am married to the child's mother but switched about 4 years ago for various reasons. When I first applied for the extension based on a Thai child there was no financial requirement for this type of extension but the Immigration Office in Korat insisted I showed the same money in the bank as for an extension based on a Thai wife which I did and have done on each subsequent extension.

So in reality I was issued an Extension of Stay based on my Thai child but only by satisfying the rules for an extension based on marriage.

I did my 90 day report last week and was reminded that my Extension of Stay is due for renewal next month. I asked what paperwork was needed and was told same same as last year.

I will post again if I experience any difficulties in getting my extension of stay this time around.

well that was a helpfull reply thank you

It was a helpful reply College Fees are very expensive.

A child is for life not something you leave behind after a holiday jolly.

Wether you want to be with the mother or not the child is your responsibility and if this inconveniences you too bad.

Be a man not a kid and live up to those responsibilities!!!!

Thanks Sinbin, I am pretty sure its not the batteries as I replaced those a couple of months ago.

Do you know the name and number of a reputable locksmith in Korat. I am happy to do a police report if it is needed but I cant imagine proof of ownership will be a problem as the safe is cemented into the floor in our bedroom.
