What are the requirements for a Non-O visa based on having a Thai child, and can I work on it?

@Jennifer *****

if you are getting a yearly extension based on raising a thai child you WOULD need to meet the proof of funds of 400K baht in a thai bank account in your name only OR proof of 40K baht a month in salary by legally working here with a work permit.

It's only the "married to a thai" extension where a foreign female married to a thai male has no requirement to show proof of funds. For raising children you still do show the funds

Are you married to the childs father? If so, there are no financial requirements to get a non-O extension based on marriage to a Thai, as a female.

Just so you are aware, there is no "permanent teacher visa", I think you may be referring to a teacher's licence, which is totally different and required to work in OBEC schools once you run out of waivers.

Visa/extension based on raising half Thai child requires parent proof of funds. Male or female doesn't matter. As a parent to support a child, you need to prove your financial situation.

And you can hold a work permit with those visa/extensions.

A female foreigner doesn't have to have funds by herself when you are married to a Thai male who can prove the support for his wife. (regarding being a family member of a Thai national)
