TLDR : Answer Summary

You can apply for your child's Non-O visa (dependent visa) in Thailand at the immigration office where you obtained your Non-B visa. However, it is not necessary to rush this process. Your child can remain in Thailand without a visa until the age of 14. Ensure you have the birth certificate and check the details for accuracy before applying if you choose to do so.

If you have just given birth, you dont really need to apply the baby visa just yet. Just make sure you get the birth certificate from your district office and check the spelling of the English and Thai names and other info. The baby can stay in thailand without visa till 14 years of age. But you can also apply the baby a visa if you really want to, that's fine. You just bring to and apply the baby's visa at the same immigration where you applied your non b. But really no need to hurry.

What would HR know about Immigration matters except Non-B Visas?

what I mean is I have friends under non-B too and they dont and didnt get their kids visa until they reached 14 years of age. But I also read some advise otherwise. So there could be very good reason/advantage for advising that.

I see. So I assume you got your baby a passport already that's why your company is insisting on getting the baby a visa, right?

My baby was born in thailand too and got him passport right away. has flown out of thailand twice. And the immigration just asked for the birth certificate and that's it stamped the passport 30 days but after one year flew out again and same thing.
