Answer summary
The user is seeking visa advice for Thailand, specifically regarding his options given that he has half Thai children and is applying from the UK. Comments suggest that the Long-Term Resident (LTR) visa does not relate to custody, and a Non-O visa might be more appropriate. There are also concerns about the children's passports and the need to confirm requirements with the local Thai embassy.
