Do I need 400k in a Thai bank account and a rental contract to convert my tourist visa to a Non-O visa if I have a Thai child?
Am I correct in thinking that 400k in thai account and rental contract are not required initially when converting from tourist visa to non o based on having a thai child, and that these are only required when extending to one year?
Summary so far
The initial conversion from a tourist visa to a Non-O visa for parents of Thai children does not require 400,000 Baht in a Thai bank account or a rental contract. However, these will be needed when extending the visa to one year. Additionally, if a father is not legally married to the mother, he must provide legal custody or legitimization documents; otherwise, the application may be rejected.

Also: Fathers: A birth certificate is not enough if you are not legally married to the mother. You must show legal custody or an official legitimization of fatherhood document from a Thai court or the local district office (Amphur). Without this, immigration will reject the conversion.

No you are not correct in that line of thinking.
You need to have the proof of funds and you need to have a rental contract/tm30 showing you live in the area served by the immigration office that you are using for the Non-O visa
You can go to a thai consulate in a nearby country and get that 90 day Non-O visa by showing proof of funds in your country though..
BUT
inside thailand you need to show proof of funds in a thai bank account in your name only to get that visa issued

ok. Are you sure about applying in near by country ? I think the rules are tightened around that , nationality or residence is required for country of applicationTod *********

You are mistaken, no issue at all applying for 'regular' visa (Non-B, Non-O, Non-ED) at a Thai consulate nearby. Only DTV requires residency in the country whose consulate you're using.Mairtín **************
