Is Wise a reliable option for proving financial means for a Thai visa application?

ThoughtfulLychee5096 - one of the DTV requirements is having 500K in your bank account. Some people want to show they have 500K on wise. Most embassies don’t accept it, as it isn’t a traditional bank, but some have been successful.

VERY good question. BUT he seems to know it all. BUT he is not Correct.

Anonymous participant 839 So your girlfriend is actually your wife or you got the child legitimised in court ?

Anonymous participant 839 you are more than a little confused. :o

If you have a Thai child and you are not married to the mother, you get no legal parental rights as the foreign father..

You cannot use the child to get a non-o visa inside the country or a year extension based on supporting a Thai child inside the country until you get granted legal parental rights.

You do that by two methods: going through family court and getting parental rights by decree or once the child is 6 years old you can do it at the local city hall (Amphur.)

I don't think people are trying to be negative, I think they are trying to point out that you don't have the slightest idea what you're talking about. :/

You would be able to get a non-ovisa based on having a Thai child outside the country at a Thai consulate that would stamp you in for 90 days

and

you could indeed get at 60 day visit Thai family extension, but those would be the only things you could do without having legal parental rights granted.

And one last time just having your name on the birth certificate does not give you legal parental rights as a foreign father of a Thai child born out of wedlock.

Best of luck with it (y)
