Can I get a 60-day extension of stay in Thailand if my name is on my partner's son's birth certificate?

If you have name on birth certificate as a father then you will get 60days visa extension from chaengwattana.....its very simply

@Pa**

, okay, now you're opening another kettle of fish.

You couldn't get ANY extension of stay if you're not the real father.

Just the fact you take care of the child doesn't count.

You'd have to go thru the family court to adopt the child legally with the permission of the real father.

In Buriram no problem they offered it to me without asking

A 60 day extension based on visiting family could be gotten if you had your name on the birth certificate. And you could get a 90 day single entry Non-O visa from the thai consulates in Vientiane or Savannakhet with the same documentation.

However you could NOT get a yearly extension of stay to take care of a half-thai child just with your name on the birth certificate. That is when you'd need to do what

@Pa**

, suggested and go thru family court to get recognized as the legal father and granted parental rights. That's because ALL parental rights with children born out of wedlock are granted to the mother.
