Did not keep updated. My non O visa 90 day + 60 day extension for visiting child ends next week.
Looking around it looks like I have to leave even before applying for new Visa?
Any potential work arounds or advice on this?
Info suggests long waits in neighbour countries like laos.

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user is concerned about their Non-O visa expiring soon and seeks advice on how to extend their stay. They mention potential challenges, including needing to leave Thailand before applying for a new visa. Comments offer suggestions, stating that if they don't meet financial requirements for a 1-year extension, they may need to leave and reapply in a neighboring country, noting long processing times at Thai embassies.

You wouldn't apply for a new visa in this situation, you would apply for a 12 month extension of stay at your local immigration office. But you need to meet the requirements of that immigration office including having 400k baht in a Thai bank

If you don't have the money in your Thai bank account that you need to apply for the 1-year extension, then your only option is to leave Thailand and either return visa exempt if you are from an eligible country, or apply for a Thai visa in another country. Most of the Thai embassies in nearby countries are advising a 10-15 business day application time. You can check each embassy's website for their visa requirements and processing times.
