For a Non B visa with a working permit, which was just extended for 1 year (from 90 days), can the 14 years old son of the holder apply for 90 days "non immigrant O to visit non Thai family members"?

just to say, that of course its not only a visit, but the intention is that the son apply for a one year extension in an immigration office within Thailand.

and if its possible- what document is needed to show the parenthood connection? will a birth certificate be enough (in English) ? Is there e a need for bank account balance above a certain amount?

Thank you all!
Answer summary
A 14-year-old child of a Non-B visa holder can apply for a Non-O visa to visit family in Thailand. To support the application, documents proving the parent-child relationship, such as a legalized or translated birth certificate, are required. Additionally, financial evidence, such as the parent's income or bank balance (minimum 400,000 Baht), needs to be provided, ensuring sufficient financial support for the child during their stay. The application can be initiated for a 90-day stay with potential for extension.

Einat Yarhi and to answer your post as holding a non-o B visa with work permit your legal spouse and children un-married under 20 can apply for non-o dependant visa based off your status and can live with you long term as long as your status is valid and maintained

You just need your child's birthcert translated at thai embassy and submitted with the dependant visa application

Its my understanding can be done in country after applying for the 90day non-o else where -or- convert from visa exempt as my understanding is

Key Requirements for Dependent Visa (Non-O)

Relationship Proof: Marriage certificate (for spouse) or birth certificate (for children), legalized or translated if necessary.

Sponsor Documents: Copy of the Non-B visa holder’s passport, work permit, and proof of employment.

Financial Proof: Evidence of financial stability (e.g., bank statement showing at least 400,000 Baht) is required.

Validity: Initially 90 days, renewable annually in Thailand,

As John mentioned, Your financial support should be sufficient especially due to the age of your son

He needs to legalise (apostille) the birth certificate in the UK (cannot do it in Thailand), and then get both documents translated. The translated documents then need stamping by the embassy or the MFA.

Yes but he will also need documentation from your work and your own work permit etc. He can extend up to the age of 20, You should be able to show your income (if it's sufficient) rather than he having money in the bank
