What extension options do I have for my Non-O visa based on my children, and do I need specific documents?

Question

I have a 3 month non o based on kids. Is it 2 or 3 months extension I can get without 400k in the bank? 
Can you confirm I need only kids birth certificates and rental contract?
Do I need any tm30 stuff?
Also would I be able to get a non b (for work) easily at a neighbouring country after this?
Thanks in advance.

Ask Thailand · Answer

The user is inquiring about extending their 3-month Non-O visa based on having Thai children. They want to confirm whether they can get a 2 or 3-month extension without needing 400,000 baht in the bank, what documents are required (specifically kids' birth certificates and a rental contract), if a TM30 form is necessary, and if they can obtain a Non-B visa easily in a neighboring country afterward. Responses indicate a likely 60-day extension is possible based on family ties, requiring only proof of being a father without needing parental rights or proof of funds. It's advisable to check local immigration requirements and gather necessary documentation before proceeding.

And as this isn't going to turn into a how to guide to get parental rights granted when you have half thai kids out of wedlock we're done.

The O/P has the information to get a 60 day extension based on being the father of half thai children, and that extension does not require parental rights or proof of funds. Hopefully in the 60 days they get from that extension they can sort out the parental rights issue and then apply for a yearly extension at their immigration office.

Good Luck (y)

[mention redacted], you are highly unlikely to get it done from an Amphur in a single day.

Sheesh at this point in time you don't even know what documentation you need there.

Here's a thought, how about going to the Amphur this week and seeing what is required OR if that Amphur can even do parental rights awards and how old the children have to be at that Amphur before they will do it.

nicely done. You got the parental rights in a few weeks. Great job. Good luck with the application for 1 year Extension of Stay, you do not need your own birth certificate

60 day extension based on visiting family

No idea what's actually required because you neglected to say what immigration office out of the 70+ offices in the country you'll use for the extension. So I suggest you go to your local immigration office BEFORE you need to apply for the extension and get the list of documents you'll need for the extension. It does not require proof of funds.

As far as will you be able to get a Non-B visa in a neighboring country's thai consulate, that totally depends on the documentation your future employer provides you. If their documentation is good, you won't have a problem at most consulates.
