ORIGINAL POSTER

I'm still in awe how you guys keep answering so many questions. I apologise in advance for posting another.

I am married to a Thai we have two children dual nationality Thai/British. 

We originally arrived on January 17 for a two week holiday for Chinese New Year. Visa on arrival. Extended this for 30 days then did a land run to Laos 30 more days - extended this to family visit  60 days - expired June 7.

The plan was always to return to my job in China. However the contract was terminated in June. I will hopefully find work here.

I believe I qualify for a non O dependent  visa. Is there anyway that this can be done without leaving the country? 

Also, I am sorry that this is speculation, could you see a scenario in which immigration would deport a father in the current crisis, or would common sense prevail?

Thanks for your suggestions.

While you could get a Non-O visa IF you meet the proof of funds (400K baht in a thai bank account in your name only transferred in from abroad) unfortunately you needed to have applied for it BEFORE you went on amnesty.

At this time there is no avenue for you to get an in country Non-O visa for any reason and as you are on amnesty you wait it out and see what they tell amnesty holders to do
