OK so basically the only advantage of having a Thai child is that 60 days extension. What is the process? When I did not yet have Thai citizenship I had some extra documents that I had to present at the immigration about my mother so I could directly get a 6 month stamp (or was it a year, can't remember precisely). So I reckon from what you say that there is no 'easier stamp on arrival' for direct family members (except what I mentioned for myself)?

Thanks Tod. He is over 60. But is the retirement extension visa any different than what a "normal" foreigner would get, I mean without having a Thai kid?

Hi Tod thanks for your reply. My mother is Thai, my dad foreigner. I got naturalized from that. I'm dual citizen. I'm basically wondering as to rights of my dad for a extended visa based on that. Also for my girlfriend (foreigner also) and our future child. What's the denomination for the visa you mention?
