@Robert *******

you can get maried on any visa type. After your marriage is recognized inside Thailand and in your home country, you can apply in the e-visa system of your home country for the 90-days Non-Imm-O family visa and change this inside Thailand into a "1-year extension of stay permit" (which some people wrongly call "marriage visa")

@Colin ********

I am VERY VER sorry for the confusion. I confused this thread with another still standing thread, where the guy has a half Thai child out of wedlock and was asking with which visa type to visit and get married 😂😂😂😂 sorry I am so sorry

@Brian ********

as long as he is not married to the mother, he has no parental rights over the child. So his only option would be an in-country application to a Non-Imm-O Retirement Visa. Are we sure he already is over 50 years old? Looking at the ongoing crackdown on tourists who want to open a Thai bank acount, that's just another stone in the path. The next stone is the 800,000 THB deposit commitment . . .I can't see much that he can do, other than going the classical route - get married, get parental rights from a Thai family court, apply for the correct visa based on the marrige or the support of the half Thai child

@Robin *******

he is misinformed and you were right. And he is ignoring because he is too lazy to look for himself . . . There are no more Non-Imm-O family or retirement visa issued any more by Thai embassies and consulates. Only the 90-days single entry Non-O type is still available

@Manuel ******

he is too lazy to look for himself and keeps spreading nonsense

@Brian ********

none of them is issuing any multiple entry Non-Imm-O visaclass! I don't need to look, I KNOW IT. . . . . . The only visa classes that got a multi re-entry permit included are the Non-Imm-O/A visa, the DTV, the LTR and the O/X

@David *********

to me he doesn't look like being over 50 years old, but hey, if he is, that's the way to go. Apply to a 90-days single-entry Non-Imm-O Retirement Visa in the e-visa system of the Royal Thai Embassy London. He would need a minimum of 800,000 THB or equivalent in GBP for that, as in Thailand the UK embassy does not issue income affidavits any more, he would need to use the deposit method for the application to the one-year Extension of Stay Permit

@Brandon ***********

he doesn't have any proof of legal parentship and he is not married to the mother. So NO Non-Imm-O Family Visa for him, yet. Name on birth certificate is worthless when not married to the mother

@Brian ********

which Thai embassy still offers the multi entry 365-days marriage Non-Imm-O visa on their website? I am curious to see it
