TLDR : Answer Summary

The user, a UK passport holder previously on a Non-O visa, is seeking advice on obtaining a new Non-O visa based on supporting their Thai-born child. They require information on necessary documents, travel options to Mukdahan from Bangkok, whether an appointment is needed for the visa application, and the current requirements regarding proof of funds. Responses indicate that essential documents include the child's birth certificate and the mother's identification, that no appointment is necessary for visa application, and that proof of funds is not required for a Non-O visa linked to a Thai child.

You will only get a 90 day Non-O visa based on having a half thai child. You need the birth certificate, copies of the child's house book listing, the mother's thai i/d, mother's house book listing and the relevant copies of your passport

It's walk up service, no appointment needed, apply one morning, pick up your passport the next business day in the afternoon.

There is no proof of funds for a 90 day Non-O based on a half thai child

Sadly you are on your own finding a way there. It's not that type of group. Buses go to the Mukdahan bus station every day. Post on a Bangkok group and ask

Thank you Todd.

Last question... I read somewhere in here that if I pay the 5000 it'll be valid for one year?

Is that correct and could you elaborate on the one year validity please?

nope, they do not issue year long multi-entry Non-O's based on being the parent of a thai child. ONLY based on marriage to a thai.

AND

the one year Non-O still only gets you a 90 day stamp, then you exit/re-enter the country to get a new 90 day stamp and you do that for the whole year.
