TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquired about extending a take care of baby visa before switching to a NON-O family visa while not being married to the child's mother. They mentioned receiving information from immigration about a potential one-year extension of their current visa. However, a commenter pointed out that without legal recognition as the father through family court, the user may not qualify for this extension.

If you are not married to the mother and have not been to the family court to be recognised as the legal father you cannot get the 12 month extension of stay based on Visiting Thai Family as you do not qualify.
