What are the requirements for extending a Non-O visa for dependency on children in Jomtien?

Adam Hall Looks like you got your own answer,

I am still of the mind without the decree from family court they're not gonna do it.

BUT

Give it a shot, all the can say is no.

@Adam *****

as people have told you IF you have not gone thru family court and been granted legal parental rights, you as a foreign male who has a child with a thai woman out of wedlock have no parental rights and there for have no ability to get a year extension inside the country.

It doesn't matter if your name is on the birth certificate, it doesn't matter if your half thai child holds a passport from your country. The only thing that matters is whether you have been granted parental rights by either going thru the process in family court OR (if the child is old enough) by going to the local Amphur (city hall) and doing it there.

So the question I have to you IS

Did you go thru family court OR to the local Amphur to get parental rights granted ? If the answer to that question is no, then you can't get a yearly extension inside the country

As you are not married have you been to court to legitimize the children ? If not, then you are legally not even their father.

As you have no legal custody you won't get a years extension, best you can hope for is 60 days.

And as its now nighttime in Thailand, you will receive added replies on Tuesday morning.

Please go to Jomtien Immigration and ASK for their list of requirements for the visa you are wanting to apply for. As there are 70+ Immigration offices in Thailand ...the requirements may not be the same.
