  1. anyone? i'm feeling uneasy and worried all time. I really do not want to leave my family too often just for renewing visa, and during covid pandemy...plus with all the haste that comes with it. my extension date is getting closer. I'm worried if i ask these questions to immigration officers while applying my 1900 baht extension, lay out all my situation, officer will deny my extension and instead deport me back to my origin country or keep me on watch list.
  2. Dear respected members of forum, We've just got out of mandatory hotel quarantine like a week ago, a family arrived from Malaysia (we were expat family in Malaysia and my contract had finished, now we are back to where my in-laws live) My wife had been accepted to continue her master degree studio, she has received Ed visa My child got 90-day non-imm visa which the university helps to include as accompany-family member I, was supposedly to receive the same visa as my child since i will be accompany my wife while she is finishing her studies but instead Thailand embassy issued me a normal 30-day tourist visa which can be extended once (report due next 2 weeks) What are my options to accompany my wife and child while she studies here? I run online business and my in-laws are all living in Thailand (but none of them are Thais). I do not intend to leave Thailand alone, once in every 60 days or so just to re-apply for another tourist visa and Thailand Pass, then undergo mandatory hotel quarantines all over again. I also have no plan to physically work in Thailand momentarily, but focus to homeschool my child. I believe liason officer from the university will help to take care my child 90-day visa but i dont think they will help me find an alternate visa for my case. They did issue the same letter of request so all of us would have gotten longer-stay visas but unfortunetely my case was only given a tourist visa after i refused to pay certain "fee" for a 90-day non-imm visa application (unofficially, off the book) while i was submitting my visa applications. I saw the visas fee, but i was asked almost triple the cost just for myself. Luckily he did not ask my child the same amount of money but went by the book instead. Please help. I need to stay in Thailand throughout the period of my wife finishes her master degree, i can leave the country once a year (maybe) then return with renewed visa. Is there another type of visas that i can apply? What are the requierements? like deposit THB 800.000 in local bank for three months? What do i need to prepare? Thank you for any advices
