TLDR : Answer Summary
The post discusses obtaining a Non-O visa for those with a Thai child, specifically not through marriage. Commenters confirm they hold such visas, and one user inquires about the possibility of initially receiving a 90-day visa despite not meeting the income requirements for a one-year visa.

ORIGINAL POSTER
I just had a baby with my thai boyfriend but I don’t meet the income requirements yet to get a 1 year visa, I know I can get 90 days at first but how many times will I be able to get 90 days before they tell me I need to meet income requirements or have to do a border run?
