    Do get at least a letter from the mother stating you have permission to keep your daughter with you and travel with her. Not a visa issue as such but due to concerns re trafficking you may be asked to produce it by police especially if for any reason flying out of the country or even sometimes travelling within it. A simple letter along with signed copy of mother's passport and or Cambodian ID will do.

     

    Travelling is not much an issue i think, daughter has my name and French passport as I do.

    Don't think anyone would ask me why I travel with my daughter.

     

    Just preparing for the worst case scenario though where she just abandon us and I have to clear any legal issue for the future...

    How did she get the French passport, looks like you had to proof some link to get one.

     

    She is my daughter.. Been declared at French Embassy a month after birth so I have both Thai and French birth certificate.

    She is French citizen since she could not get Thai nationality.

    Also been declared at Cambodian Embassy so I have a visa with no expiry (until 18 i presume for her).

     

    Cambodia is not the issue right now though, I work in Thailand at the moment..

     

    So for Thai Visa, after I get my working Non-B visa, i can make a visa for her as my daughter living with me in Thailand without a "release custody" paper from the mother?

    Cambodia is no issue..

    Daughter been declared to both French Embassy and Cambodian Embassy within 3 months..

    For Cambodia she has a "non expiry" visa until she is 18 years old, no problem..

     

    Question is referring to the Thai Visa, how can I bind her to me if the wife leaves us in Thailand

     

    Someone at immigration told me once: "you dont need a Visa for her until 18, just show Phuket Birth Certificate" and she can go in but never tried that luck ????

    Apologies if that topic is on wrong forum..

    Hypothetical situation (or not)..

     

    Situation:

    French Expat working in Thailand.

    Child has French passport.

    Mother has Cambodian passport, she has been with me for 11 years and followed me to Thailand 10 years ago.

     

    My Daughter is bornt in Phuket with Thai Birth Certificate but cannot get nationality as no parent is Thai National.

     

    Wife wants to leave us and go back to Cambodia.

    I may have to stay in Thailand to work and keep my daughter with me as the lady cant handle anything with education of a foreign child.

     

    Thai law states when not married, the father has no right over the children.

    Does it apply also to foreigners?

    Since we have never been married, and since the "good guys in, bad guy outs", my daughter is on Student Visa and my wife on "guardian" visa..

     

    Can I get my daughter on "daughter of expat worker: Non-B" visa to follow my Visa or do I need my wife to sign a "release form" that she release custody of the child to me?

     

    If the latest, where do I do this?

     

    Apologies for heavy topic, ask for clarifications if needed 

    Can it be a problem with entry to Thailand?

    I actually also remember this announcement about the 6 months on ThaiVisa about 4-5 years ago.

    Has it not been implemented?

     

    Important information to me: as I may have a problem soon with my wife (non Thai) and my daughter soon.

     

    I have been using a paper from my Embassy (not marital certificate but similar) stating we have been leaving together "as husband and wife" for the last 10 years without any problem to get non-o for my wife and for my daughter.

    Not valid anymore this year after the "good guys in, bad guys out" crack down.

     

    Will need about 9 to 12 months to sort out wedding certificate (don't ask: dixit from embassy: too many countries involved..)


    So question: if I make a tourist Visa + extension (3 months) outside of the country for both wife and daughter and rinse and repeat 3-4 times, until wedding certificate is sorted out, is that allowed or not??

    Also is there any other options?

     

    What's the closest country I can fly to without needing full page visa stamp/sticker?

    Get an E-visa for Cambodia. https://www.evisa.gov.kh fly into Phnom Penh or Siem Reap you get a small stamp the size of a Thai visa exempt stamp. BTW I would go to Seim Reap and check out Angkor Wat and Pub Street.

    BTW you could renew your passport at the British Embassy in Phnom Penh. https://www.gov.uk/government/world/organisations/british-embassy-phnom-penh

    Thanks - wasn't aware of their evisa.

    Says 8 weeks turnaround on their site though sad.png

    https://www.gov.uk/overseas-passports/y/cambodia/renewing_new/adult

    Will email them

    E Visa for cambodia you will receive by email within a week of application maximum, most time3-4 days for me

    Lt. Gen. Kampanat also revealed that his forces have been monitoring the activities of underground resistance groups and will primarily employ peaceful negotiations to resolve unrest.

    Really sounds like W Bush and his weapons of mass destruction...

    Sounds Legit :)

    Or is he saying that they already have the IP addresses and locations of all the members of TVF and waiting for 44 to be signed before the strike? w00t.gif
