are you saying there is a visa/extension based on a non-Thai child born in Thailand to non-Thai parents? Could you share a link here with more information?
Answer summary
A participant in a thread raised a question about whether there is a visa or extension available for non-Thai parents who have a child born in Thailand. Responses indicated that there is a clause that allows foreigners raising their foreign children in Thailand to apply for a one-year extension, although it seems to be primarily for those whose children are already in school. However, there are instances of foreigners with very young children also receiving this extension.

OP
While it appears that this extension is only granted for a foreigner to support foreign children who are in school already. BUT as I said I know several foreigners on this exact extension with tiny babies way too young to go to school, so I don't know how they were able to do it
