TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is preparing to apply for the first extension of their Non-Immigrant O visa (as a guardian) and their children's ED visa in Thailand. They are seeking clarification on the necessary documents for both the guardian and children, as well as whether the children need to accompany them during the application process. Key required documents include original passports, photos, a bank deposit requirement for guardians, and the children's original birth certificates. The user expresses confusion due to varying information sources.

Thanks, so it only works in Explorer. I tried in Firefox and Chrome, both no go, but with Internet Explorer Extension in Chrome it works.

And when I click on the box left of the extension I am wanting to look at it highlights up in a pink color and the box with the information opens up.

They have a required documents section on the Chaeng Wattana Division 1 website. It is at the top of the page in the middle. It shows the different extensions and what paperwork and requirements are needed for each. Here is the link

I like to help you, but I dont have a list of all specific requirements of all Immigration Offices in Thailand. I try to make such a list to help people in the future, so if you like to update what is the correct list, future members and I will thank you in advance.
Tullio *******
ORIGINAL POSTERThat’s what I’ll do, even if last time I went and showed if the multi language birth certificate I got was ok the guy simply didn’t understand and said generically yes.... so I’ll try and prepare all the stuff go without children and see how it goes.....
Robert *******
You can visit the Immigration and ask the hand out with the requirements. Ask also if the children need to join. A short visit and you have all their specific requirements in hand, the list is normally in English and Thai.
Tullio *******
ORIGINAL POSTERWill do once I find out myself was hoping would find info here, as the school is telling me some info, on the immigration website it’s different but confusing.... I’ll probably have to go there a few times then... do you think children need to come with me?
