ORIGINAL POSTER

I have a single entry (90 day) none o visa based on having a british citizen son at a paid school here (my son was born in Thailand and has both a UK & Thai passport) it runs out in January, the visa was issued from my home town of Hull in the UK from via Thai consulate  done online, what are my options in regards to extending my none o single entry visa? Is I’m that even possible? Or is it a case of flying back to the uk and getting another every 3 months? I did email the Hull Thai consulate yet unfortunately they could not give me any solid advice although did send me a copy of all the documents sent from my visa application, i am told by some I can extend by 60 days in Thailand, if so can I do that at any immigration office or does it have to be a certain one such as where my son is registered as living? thanks in advance for any advice

TLDR : Answer Summary

The individual inquiring about their single entry Non-O visa has a few options for extension based on their situation with a British citizen son enrolled in a Thai school. They can apply for a 60-day extension at their local immigration office, provided they meet financial requirements. If they qualify as a legal father through the Thai family court or Amphur, they may also apply for a one-year extension based on having Thai family members. Alternatively, they could complete a visa run to a nearby country to obtain a new visa.

For both you need to meet financial requirements. alternative is first a 60 days Extension of Stay based on visiting family and after that a new 90 day Single Entry Non Immigrant O visa from one of the Thai Consulates in neighbor counties and apply for the 60 day Extension, that makes it a visa run every 5 months.

If you are the legal father by Thai family court or by Amphur, you can apply at your local Immigration Office for the 1 year Extension of Stay based on having Thai family members

Or you can apply for the 1 year Extension of Stay based on being a family member of an alien who has been permitted a temporary stay in the Kingdom for study in an educational institution according to Clauses 2.8 or 2.9 hereof

if you have 400.000 Thb on a Thai bank account on your name, no seasoning needed or have a monthly income of minimum 40.000 Thb you can apply for the 1 year Extension of Stay at your local immigration Office
