do you know whether it can affect future entry in to Thailand or application for future visas? I'm in a similar situation with my son and my place of work said that he didn't need a visa, but the Thai embassy in my country said that he did. I got him a visa to enter but I will need to extend. He is going to need to come to Thailand a lot because his dad is Thai (not recognized as Thai because he has to have a DNA test to prove it because he was born to a British mother in the uk and we're not married). I don't want to risk anything that might affect his access to Thailand in the future. Thank you.
