What is the process for a single parent applying for a dependent visa for their child in Thailand?

Hello

Not sure if I can be of any help .

I have two kids from another person and before we moved here to Thailand I had to ask their dad for permission . He agreed at first . But then when I didn't agree to meet alone due to domestic violence in the past ( he went to prison for four years due to violence on me and the kids ) anyways . He then said no . I had to take him to court . He then didn't show up to any court date . It took five months for the judge to agree for us to move . And then she's the one who gave me the certified court paper to leave .

I had to have that paper to get passports as well .

My kids are 13 and 11 and I've had sole legal physical custody of them since 2014 .

He never paid child support didn't have a relationship with them either .

But by law you still have to ask permission . And you will have to show that proof to immigration .

I even had to show the documents at the airport because my husband's last name is different than the older two kids .

It's a lot of work . But I'd say contact the court house in your area they can help you

Birth certificate is all you need for relationship

Just out of curiosity, why are you choosing to apply for the child if they can't be penalised for being on overstay? 🙏🏼

I applied in taipei last year for my child. I am married but my husband lives in a different country. My child lives with me in Thailand and we travel together all the time. The only documents I needed to provide was my child's birth certificate, a copy of my dtv and my bank statement in my name with a sponsor letter stating I am financially responsible for my child. Nobody ever asked about dad.
