NO, he can't if he is not married to the mother - because he must show both the birth certificate AND the Kor Ror 2 or 22 marriage registry document. You are spreading fake news, false claims

Visit Immigration and apply for the 30-days extension. . . . . . . I would add: It is highly possible that the Immigration officer wants to see a TM30.

The TM30 is the registration of your accommodation provider/hotel/guesthouse/resort, which must be done within 24 hours of your arrival at the place where you will be staying

In case you stay privately at a friend’s house, or use an AirBnB, the friend or the landlord needs to register you in the TM30 system and you will need a printout or screenshot of the receipt

Usually the officer, when he is entering your personal data in his computer, he will see that you were registered by the hotel. It would be advisable to carry a business card of your hotel

@Daniele **********

do have this cleared by now ? Or are you still thinking that I don't know the law?

"Even if your name is on the birth certificate as the biological father, you are not recognized as the legal father under Thai law.

@Daniele **********

In Thailand, a child born out-of-wedlock is the legitimate child of the birth mother. The law does not consider the biological father to be the legitimate father. Therefore, he shall have no legal rights over the child" %20if%20your%20name%20is,legal%20father%20under%20Thai%20law.

@Divya *********

you are COMPLETELY wrong. A mother could theoretically name anyone as the father and get him listed on the birth certificate. This is just NOT the legal way to give him parental rights. Only by court order can he be given parental rights. The name on the birth certificate out of wedlock is irrelevant, it would only be valid if the couple is married

@Daniele **********

the name on the birth certificate is irrelevant, as long as there has no DNA analysis being conducted or he is legally married

@Daniele **********

so the agent bribed the Immigration. This process is absolutely illegal

@Daniele **********

if he has a Thai family court verdict that he is the legal father of the child, yes, he can apply for the Non-Imm-O support-of-half-Thai-child visa

@Colin ********

no, there is no such visa option. There only is a "visit family" visa option which needs documentation from a Thai entity that you have relatives in Thailand

It seems you got a 90-days non-imm-O visa by way of “change of visa type” from Immigration inside Thailand

If you want to extend this to a 1-year stay permit, you need to apply for from up to 30 days before the 90 daysw stay permit expires

While you can buy a re-entry permit and exit Thailand, you need to be back in time to apply for the 1-year Extension of Stay Permit
