Quick question. Are Non- O 1 year extensions based on Thai Child extendable by 30 days at immigration? My visa comes up for renewal during the January holidays.

You can extend a Non Imm O based on having a Thai child by 60 days or 1 year.

No, you cannot extend for 30 days. That's only available on tourist visa or visa Exempt. There a chance you might be able to apply for the 60 day visiting Thai family extension if you haven't done so yet.

Nope. Only by a year. You can usually apply 30 days prior (some offices allow 45 days prior).

If that doesn’t work you can speak to your office. They may be able to wangle something like a “visit Thai family” extension - but that’s a stretch as that extension is meant for people on tourist or exempt entries. Worth asking though.
