Hello,

I am on marriage visa extension currently. Is it possible to change it to Thai Child based extension without leaving country? Or I need to start from scratch?

Thanks,

There shouldn't be an issue changing your reason for your extension from one based on marriage to a thai to one based on raising thai child.

Go talk to your immigration office well before your current extension expires. SOME offices won't let you change if you're still married (but will let you change if you're getting divorced)

You have to check with the office you use. Also keep in mind while technically there is no seasoning required for the raising thai child extension SOME offices do require the same seasoning as a marriage extension (400K baht in a thai bank account for 2 months before you apply)

That's why I said go talk to your office well before your next extension. ..

OP please take note of that if you are getting divorced and make sure you understand what is going on at the aumper if you do.

Do you have to have custody after divorce to get the visa/extension?

That is a good question, and one I don't know the answer to, I am almost 100% certain the child has to reside with you at the same address, and that you needed to have NOT relinquished legal parental rights in the divorce decree, but alas that is about the extent of my knowledge
