In Phuket Immigration office.

Copys.

1.Baby's birth certificate.

2.Baby's house book.

3.Mother's thai i/d.

4.Mother house book.

5.Copy of your Passport pages.

6.Notification form for house-master, owner or the possessor of the residence where you has stayed.

You get that form from internet or Immigration office.

7. 1 Passport picture.

In the Immigrant office they will give you also 2 different form where you put your details and reason for extension.

This is for 60 day visit thai family extension.

Best is that you go Immigrant Office and ask what they need.

Sometimes rules between offices can change in the land of the smile 😉

some Immigrations might not accept the birth certificate as sole proof, but ask for the written "family court decision" as proof that you are the legal parent

You need to GO to your immigration office and ASK them what documents you need. There are 70+ immigration offices in the country.

Usually it's the birth certificate with your name on it, the baby's house book listing, the mother's thai i/d and house book listing (if possible) and of course the baby (the reason you're getting the extension).

Are you talking about applying for a 60 day visit thai family extension?
