TLDR : Answer Summary
The Child Support Visa in Thailand is designed for individuals who have a child that is residing in Thailand, while the Guardian Visa is intended for guardians of children who are Thai citizens or legal residents. Additionally, the discussion highlights that being married to a Thai national allows for different visa options, and there may be financial requirements associated with these visas that need to be met upon renewal.

The differences between the requirements of a visa or Extension of Stay from local immigration between having a foreign child going to school or having a half Thai child out of wedlock and only named on birth certificate or have the legal parental rights by family court or amphur and a visa or extension of stay based on married to a Thai National or being married to a foreigners who has a long stay permission are way to long to explain. Or you start to make a new topc with the details of what you like to know or like to do or I suggest visit a Thai embassy or if you are inside Thailand visit the local Immigration Office for more information.

What visa are you now on...Married to a Thai? Are you able to meet the financial requirements for your current Visa at renewal?

If a money problem...you could get a visa from several Thai consulates which do not require banked money proof...as Married to Thai.

Difference is teh child support visa is a visa that you have a child inside Thailand, the guardian visa is that you have a child inside Thailand and the marriage visa is that you are married and like to stay inside Thailand.
