ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
You can apply for a Non-O Marriage visa or a visa for raising Thai children while currently in Thailand on a visa exempt entry. However, it's important to note that some immigration offices may prefer you to apply for the marriage visa instead if you are married to a Thai citizen. Additionally, as long as you are the legal father of the child, you are eligible to apply.
