From my own experience 😏 make a DNA Test when the Baby IS born

Congratulations on the upcoming addition to your family!

Regarding the O-type visa, you're on the right track. As the father of a Thai child, you can apply for an O-type visa, also known as a "dependent visa" or "family visa." This visa allows you to stay in Thailand to take care of your pregnant girlfriend and future child.

Eligibility and Requirements

To apply for an O-type visa, you'll need to meet the following requirements:

1. _Relationship proof_: Provide documentation proving your relationship with your girlfriend, such as a birth certificate, marriage certificate (if applicable), or a letter from your girlfriend's doctor confirming the pregnancy.

2. _Income proof_: Show proof of income or financial support, such as a bank statement, pension statement, or employment letter.

3. _Health insurance_: Provide proof of health insurance that covers you, your girlfriend, and your unborn child.

4. _Police certificate_: Obtain a police certificate from your home country or a Thai police certificate.

5. _Medical certificate_: Get a medical certificate from a Thai hospital or clinic.

Remote Work

Regarding remote work, Thailand has specific regulations. As an O-type visa holder, you're allowed to stay in Thailand for family purposes, but you're not automatically permitted to work.

However, you can apply for a work permit, but this would require a different type of visa, such as a B-type visa (business visa). To work remotely, you might need to obtain a "Smart Visa" or a "Remote Work Visa," which are designed for foreign workers who want to work remotely in Thailand.

Keep in mind that regulations can change, and it's essential to consult with the Thai embassy or consulate, or an immigration lawyer to ensure you comply with the latest requirements.

Recommendations

1. _Consult the Thai embassy or consulate_: Reach out to the Thai embassy or consulate in your home country or in Thailand to confirm the requirements for an O-type visa and remote work regulations.

2. _Seek advice from an immigration lawyer_: An immigration lawyer can guide you through the application process and help you understand the regulations surrounding remote work in Thailand. You should also consider reading a book or two before your travel.. I'd recommend a book "Thailand Unveiled 2024-2025" by James Anderson on Amazon..it has all the info and recommendations you need..you should check it out 😀

Congrats. I see and hear that a lot on Facebook and Farang I meet. When I ask how long someone has been married I usually get the “We are not married, she just got pregnant”

Like it was a magic trick.

How does child support work in this country or do folks just block their number and disappear?

Contact some agents to see if they can help you

Working remotely on your laptop does not require a work permit if the work is outside of thailand

Congrats, what do you do for work

Yikes! You're screwed......

You have the correct last name for the occasion, congratulations

Merry Christmas

Congrats on your new baby

Do you know who the father is?

You will need to be married to get any kind of visa or go to Court to be legally regarded as being the Father to get visa .

1. Yes. 2. No you still have to go through the usual work permit criteria even on that visa.

Just do the dtv buddy
