TLDR : Answer Summary

@Dava *******
then please check back next March for the updated entry requirements to Thailand.

With COVID times all is subject to change.

You can enter Thailand either visa exempt or with tourist visa as you plan. With added opportunity to get a 60 days family visit extension of stay.

As you have had the Non O visa before you just need to ask your local immigration office what their requirements are at the time you are in Thailand.

And you can apply for the one year extension of stay as father of Thai child with a deposit in a Thai bank account in your name only of 400,000 Thai baht.

yes you can apply for the Family visit extension of 60 days at the immigration office for 1,900 Thai baht....with proof that you are father to a Thai child.

What visa if any are you now on in Thailand?

I assume you are now in Thailand. And not married to a Thai.

But are the legal father of Thai child with name on Thai birth certificate.

Have you obtained your legal rights by recording the birth of your Thai child at the local Amphur?
