Thereby giving you more opportunities to staying in Thailand.

if you were not married to the mother when the child was born, having your name on the birth certificate is NOT enough to let you get a 90 day Non-O visa inside the country based on raising half thai children :(

You need to say WHAT immigration office you're gonna be using to get the Non-Immigrant visa, and say what reason you think you're gonna get it for (marriage to a thai, raising half thai children, etc)

*Edited to reflect for an extension of stay based on visiting Family with half-Thai child*

>Do I get one 30 day extension.

You can, but in your case, I wouldn't recommend it. I recommend getting a 60 day extension of stay based on visiting Thai family. You will need:

1. Your passport and a copy of:

- Your data ("picture") page

- Your Non-O visa

- Your entry stamp

- Your departure card

2. Your CHILD PHYSICALLY next to you, and

- The child's ID card and a copy of her ID card

- The child's housebook, and a copy of the first page

3. The Child's birth certificate (either the rose border certificate, OR a certified translated copy from your home country)

4. The application form

5. 2x passport pictures

6. 1,900 THB for the processing fee.

Different immigration offices have different requirements, and this may include:

- A copy of the TM30 filed where you live

- Rental contract (if renting property or a condo)

What immigration office will you be using?
