Can I apply for a DTV visa if I have a child with a Thai woman out of wedlock?
Hello colleagues. I have read that one of the motivations for applying for DTV visa may be having family in Thailand. Can it be a child with a Thai woman, but out of wedlock? Thank you 🙏
Answer summary
Yes, you can apply for the DTV visa based on your relationship to a child with a Thai woman, even if out of wedlock, provided your name is on the child's birth certificate. You will initially get a 90-day Non-Immigrant O visa, but to secure a one-year extension, legal custody must be established through the courts.

Nothing about the DTV has anything to do with a Thai relative, or family member.

Yes but your name must be on the child's Birth Certificate to get the initial 90 days Non Imm O visa and you can't get the 1 year extension of stay unless you've been through the Court and got legal custody of your child. You can apply for the 60 days Thai dependant relatives extension of stay.

- With a DTV, if the foreign father has a DTV, they can also apply for DTVs for their foreign children. However, the father doesn’t get a DTV because they have a Thai childSteve *******
