TLDR : Answer Summary
To obtain a Non-O visa supporting your half Thai-American son in Thailand, ensure your name is on his birth certificate and that you are legally recognized as his father. You will need to present 400,000 THB in a Thai bank account, the mother’s ID, and relevant documentation like the family book (tambien baan) for both the mother and child. Note that specific requirements may vary by location, so check with your local immigration office for additional documents that may be needed.

Your name must be on the birth certificate and either be now married to the mother or at the time of birth be married or have legal recognition as the father from the courts or local amphur.

You need 400k in a Thai bank account.

The mother"s ID and tambien baan for the mom and child.
