According to the fixers aka tuk tuk drivers at the bridge for an extra 300 baht you can have your visa the same day. :biggrin:

Just been looking at the visa application form. Who do you use as a guarantor from Laos?

Those forms are generic and are also used by Laotians going to Thailand.

That part can be left blank as can "address in Laos".

Me neither. He does have a passport full of stamps. This kind of thing happens to guys that have no internet, don't speak much English anyway and aren't too bright. I told him to get married and go to Savanakhanet where they don't ask for proof of income to get a three month extension but he is afraid he might get marooned over there. I know another German guy that doesn't believe me when I tell him that he only needs  ฿400 000.- as he is married, not the  ฿800 000.- that his wife has led him into. I guess his wife is waiting for the inheritance, he is rather old and frail. There must be lots of guys like this which is why I get annoyed when I see 'holier than thou' remarks about guys on overstay. (Not on this site...).

For what it's worth, I used the 800 KBaht because it was easier than the extra steps you had to do for the marriage extension.  It wasn't anything my wife "led" me into.  I know some other guys who make the same choice.

Now that KCI is making retirees have a home visit and second trip to immigration, I may switch.  I'll see next year if they've gone back to normal for retirees.

I guess, because you are going the child route , you are not married to the child's mother. If so then you will need to legitamise your position as legal father. How old is the child? If under 10 then a court order is required. That takes about a month. 2 visits to the family court and one visit to the regisrats office which is located in the juvenile detention centre are required.
