TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking information regarding the visa status of her children after getting a Non-O visa while marrying their Thai father. Comments suggest that since the children have a Thai father, they may be eligible for Thai citizenship and thus wouldn't require visas, provided appropriate documents like birth certificates are presented.

If they are

thai, you will leave them on "overstay" until you fix their Thai citizenship.

It has no bearing on your status.

Thai father so they are Thai, no need for visa. Take birth certificates with his name to Ampur.

if the father is on the birth certificate you can go to the Thai Embassy in Sweden to obtain Thai Birth Certificates. Then you can get Thai Passports for them. If you do not have time to do that, enter them on visa exempt. Stay on overstay until you get the Thai citizenship sorted. There is no penalty for overstay by minors.

You need to do the citizenship so you can put their names on a house book registration

the children being on a house book is very important in Thailand. Without that they will not be able to go to a Thai School, get ID card and many other Thai benefits.

If their father is Thai they can also get a Thai citizenship. (And still keep their Swedish one).
