Hi Dear friends , i am a citizen from Ivory Coast and i have been living in Thailand and working for some international NGO's for 4 years then left Thailand and came back home in my country where i am now . Meanwhile during my stay in Thailand i had a 2 years old baby girl with my Thai girl friend there and we are still keeping in touch as we miss each other .

I would like to go and legally stay in Thailand as i have my 2 years old daughter there .

I heard about a kind of parental visa or the Child support visa which can help me .

I would like to know how does it work and how much will i spend for it ?

As i have been told that with this parental visa i can legally look for job in Thailand .

Thanks for your advice ...

Here I am again...sorry..... I'm a Filipino... married to a Thai husband..and we have 12 years old son...we are planning to get divorce... I'm holding a NON O marriage visa... I want to change my visa to be parental visa ... is that possible? How? How much? How long the process? What are the requirements? Thanks for help...
