ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about the appropriate visa for a 6-month stay in Thailand to be with their 16-year-old Thai son. Several users suggest various options including the 90-day Non-O visa as a custodian to a Thai child, a multi-entry tourist visa, or a two separate tourist visa strategy. There are discussions regarding the requirements for a Guardian visa and confirmation that getting a visa for raising a Thai child is possible but may have subjective requirements. The conversation also touches on the complexities of applying for visas through embassies and the misinformation regarding local embassy authority.
