no never heard of it. You probably didn’t see it but we don’t post agents details here, I know you were only asking of its existence. I’d delete that, start looking at family court and working toward the correct visa. Not easy I know 😕 but it will be worth it for your daughter.

IF mom plays ball AND you go down the family court route (with moms consent) you will get legal parent responsibility and be able to get a more suitable visa/extension. It will take six months at least. Some lawyers offer it for about 100k but I believe you can do it yourself.

@James *****************

unfortunately not. I looked at the amphur route last year and was told my son needed to be seven.

@James *****************

how old is your daughter?

@Tod ********

I think the child has to be seven years to identify him as the father at the amphur. Not sure if mum has to be present though.

@Bill *********

if you are married to a Thai national/have a Thai family, can’t you do a 60 day extension based on visiting your Thai wife or child?

Were you legally married to the child’s mother at the time of birth or have the documents to support parental rights from family court?

@Linda ********

you are very welcome, good luck 🙏🏼

Linda, it seems your husbands One-Year Extension of Non-Immigrant B Visa is subject to the following conditions (not necessarily renewal conditions):

Valid Thai work permit

Minimum salary per nationality

Four Thai employees per permit (4:1)

Must have 1M THB in net equity and registered capital of a minimum 2M THB

Must show revenue in the previous year to cover the salary of all the foreign employees. The company must submit year and profit and loss account inspected and certified by a certified accountant. The total revenue must show an amount higher than the total salary and benefits paid to the employee. It seems you need an accountant to maintain such a visa.. I suspect your Lawyer may be both. So I guess the answer to your original question is - it may be extremely difficult to renew this visa without a Lawyer/accountant 😕

@Linda ********

ah. Just read this. It may very well be the case where you have to supply evidence of the tax records for his four staff.. not 100% if this is required for renewal BUT. If it is and you don’t have them and/or don’t know how to extract them from your local Amphur then you may need your lawyer.. Check with immigration first to see if they are needed... 😕
