I am an American citizen who has a NON-RE Multi-Entry Permit based on Retirement that was renewed for one year recently. For next year's renewal I have already started having 65,000 Baht transferred monthly into my Thai bank from abroad.

My non-Thai girlfriend (Lao) will be having our first child this year, and the child will be registered as an American citizen with an American passport. I believe the baby, who will be born in Thailand, can stay in Thailand with me, as a dependent child under my retirement permit.

My main question: Are there additional financial requirements for me to meet for the baby to be able to stay in Thailand under basically the same terms as me?

Thank you in advance.
