Immigration gave me this form for my visa extension. Support of a Thai child
Its a new form to me, but I want to get it right. As I understand it it's a family member confirming your family.
The first part looks like its filled in by the family member, can this be anyone? Wife? Mother in law?
Second part my details?
Third part
Signature 1. Family member
Signature 2. Competent officer? Imm officer?
Signature 3. Witness? Who can sign?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The Affidavit of a Family Member Form is required for visa extensions related to Thai children. The first section is to be filled out by a family member, which can include a wife or mother-in-law. The second section requires the foreign parent's details. There are spaces for three signatures: the family member, a competent immigration officer, and a witness. The witness must provide a copy of their house book and ID card. Specific guidelines about completing the form are mentioned, particularly for situations where the Thai child is not of legal age, in which case the foreign parent signs on their behalf.
we're seeing more and more offices not allow the 60 day visit thai family extension on free stamp/tourist visa entries so check with your office well before you're going to attempt it to see if it can even be done there
I've used this form, we used a neighbour that knows us. We were told by our immigration office that a friend or headman was acceptable as well. Not sure about a relative, that's why I said check with his local office.
Unless it has recently changed, the STM.10 was not on the list of forms for download from the official website. It was handed out by immigration offices when they required it to be completed. So if they give you one best to check who can witness as like everything requirements are office specific.
Neighbour, friend, village headman if you live rural. Relatives are usually accepted but maybe check with your immigration office. Basically anyone who knows you.
Form STM.10 is filled out by the Thai Citizen Child (or in the viewpoint of the Thai Citizen Child if the Thai Child is not yet of legal age)
if the Thai Child is not yet of legal age, then you as the Foreigner Parent would sign Form STM. 10 on behalf of the Thai Citizen Child, or the Thai Immigration Officer will give instructions for what to do
in Sections 1, 2, and 3, the Name/Details to specify are you as the Foreigner Parent
this Form STM. 10 is mandatory and used by all Thai Immigration Offices across Thailand
