Hi all, I’m asking this question on behalf of my dad. He’s currently in Thailand on a 90-day Non-O visa (Thai family) based on him being my dad as I’m a Thai citizen. I’m currently in Australia and was wondering if he can get the 60-day Non-O extension without me being there? Thanks in advance.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The question concerns whether a father on a 90-day Non-O visa in Thailand can extend his stay for an additional 60 days without his Thai citizen child being present. Responses suggest that while some users indicate he might need to be present for a self-application, others mention that using an agent may allow him to secure the extension without the child's physical presence. However, it appears that proving the familial relationship (visiting Thai relatives) is crucial for this extension.

The extention of stay is for 'visiting Thai relatives' if you're not in the country he cant get the extention based on visiting you.

If he makes the application himself, you need to be there.

BTW the visa extension based on the support of a Thai child runs out when your 18? (I think)

The 60 day extention is based on 'visiting Thai relatives'. There's no age limit.

He doesn’t have to prove your location for an extension if he already has the visa and currently in Thailand I just used an agent,.I am on the same visa and got the extension for 90 days with just a few photographs and my rental contract it will cost him 8-9k baht with a good agent
