TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, the Thai pass has been scrapped, and only COVID vaccine status is now required for entry. Discussions surrounding the visa process for those looking after half Thai children mention that adoption or marriage to the child's mother is necessary for qualifying for certain visa types. Additionally, a 60-day extension may be possible if you have a Thai family connection.

semantics. People knew what I meant.

Can I ask please, do get a visa for looking after a half Thai child - do I need to formally adopt it, or just marry with it's mom.

My step-kid is half Thai half British. I am British but I am not the biological father.

Many thanks

Yes you do need to adopt or marry for that type of visa

I prefer if I could get one based on having a half Thai stepchild vs marriage as the 400K don't need to be seasoned.

So you can apply for a 60 day extension for visiting Thai family or get a yearly extension if you have
