Hi I entered Thailand on a tourist visa, which I then extended by 30 days as a tourist, then switched to 60 day family visa based on my daughter. Wondering if I can now apply for the 1 year family visa from inside Thailand (just got my bank account sorted) or if I need to leave, apply outside and enter again? Also whether the 400k needs to be in the bank for a certain amount of time as have read mixed info on this. Thanks!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The individual is seeking advice on the possibility of applying for a 1-year family visa from inside Thailand, having previously transitioned from a tourist visa to a family visa based on a Thai daughter. Comments suggest that while there is no direct 1-year family visa, they may apply for an in-country Non-O visa supporting a Thai child if certain conditions are met—typically requiring the current visa to remain valid and sufficient funds in a Thai bank account for a specific duration.
