The visa is good for a year but your allowed period of stay is whatever was stamped into your passport when you entered (should have been 90 days and will be indicated on your entry stamp).

Your options:

a) exit and return every 90 days. Effectively this can give you 15 months stay in the kingdom.

b) get the paperwork together to "extend" your period of stay from 90 days to 1 year but this will take even more paperwork and a hefty bank account.

State or FBI level. google for instructions

American, female, degree, willing to work with kids... If it takes longer than 14 days to find a job she is doing something wrong.

If she doesn't have a degree the point is moot since she won't be getting a non-B or work permit as a teacher in Thailand.

Bring your original degree, transcripts, police check, marriage certificate and baby's birth certificate.

The degree, marriage and birth certs will need to be authenticated at the Thai MFA after you are here.

Miatta....

Going down the EDU visa route just complicates the whole process when it doesn't need to be.

.

Enter on a SETV (60 days + 30 day extension... gives you 90 days to get sorted).

.

Find a job.

Once you get your non-b and work permit you can put your husband and baby on non-O visas and all of you can get an extension of stay to match your contract.

.

As long as you stay with the same employer you simply get the annual extension of stay (b1900 each).

.

If/when you change employers then a quick visa run to get new SETVs for the 3 of you and start the non-B process all over again.

For a non-B with a 1-year extension based on a work permit then a 3-month extension is possible. The cost is b1900 for the visa plus the cost of the work permit extension

AND

all of the associated paperwork needed to extend both the WP and visa.

If you are working as a teacher then that may also include the necessary paperwork to get a new teacher's waiver from Khrusapha (no fee but time is needed).

Use a us passport ... save a lot of grief entering the US. Use his Thai passport coming back.

Just pop down to KUL or SIN on a cheap flight. Come back and get another 90-days. 4 times per year and no worry for the first year.

Royal Jordanian has a convenient evening flight (RJ that leaves here at dinner time (5pm) and back before midnight (arrive BKK at 23:55). Don't even need to enter Malaysia.

Just get off the plane, go to the transit desk to get the boarding pass for the return flight and go back to the gate for the return flight.

Go to your embassy and swear an affidavit of authenticity and have it affixed to a certified true copy of your degree.

Then go to the Thai MFA at government complex in Chengwattana and get their stamp on it.

Once it has their stamp you are fine. Job done.

If you are gett ing your non-B in your home country then the police clearance should be from your home country.

IF you were going to a 3rd country (like Laos) then the Thai one is usually adequate OR a home country one that is less than 1 year old.
