Just comment in stead of editing your text.

What ever VISA you use has NO effect on the the visa needed for your daughter.

Each and every person has their own visa.

IF she enters using a foreing passport she will get an Admitted to Stay according her own visa.

She can than apply for a 1 year Extension of Stay based on being a Thai National waiting their Thai ID and passport.

Once she has the Thai passport she needs to leave Thailand after cancelling her Extension of Stay and re-enter using her Thai passport.

Use the one in your area, it avoids hours of travel to find a police station in the other side of Thailand.
Robert *******
You visit the local police station, file a report of missing departure card.

Take the police record with your passport to the Immigration Office and apply for a new TM6 Departure card.
Robert *******
You can apply for the 60 days Extension of Stay based on visiting your Thai wife, OR

Apply for the 1 year Extension of Stay based on marriage with a Thai National but that includes meeting the financial and other requirements. When you have this 1 year Extension of Stay, you can apply for a re-entry permit to travel out and back.

BUT to get into Thailand there is also the Thailand pass with the insurance policy, which you have to meet to get access.

Best and easy solution to your problem:

For yourself:

Travel alone:

The Non Immigrant B visa if you travel alone an family stays behind and pick up the work permit

Travel as family

The Non Immigrant O visa based on marriage OR the Non B

For wife and child: Use their Thai Nationality and Thai passports

If the kid does not have a Thai passport arrange one at the Thai Embassy before departure.

Good luck.

@Mauricio *****
Would it make more sense to enter under the Non O with the whole family instead.

You can apply for the Non O visa based on marriage with a Thai Nationa and get the work permit,

For the toddler it does not matter as she will follow your granted stay as a dependent using the Non O visa and Extensions of Stay.

OR the toddler applies for her Thai ID and Thai passport and use that.
Robert *******
If you need to work the only option you have is the Non Immigrant B visa in combination with the Work Permit.

Please: If you intend to comment: I got never asked to proof that the rules does not exist in your mind set, do not worry about the effort.

Your comment is useless in front of an Immigration Officer when asked.

I will delete your advice.
Robert *******
Yes, rules did not change. Immigration can still ask

1. Proof of onward travel

2. Proof of finances, 20.000 Thb or equivelant in cash

3. Proof of accommodation.
