Thank you once again Ubonjoe for the help. Seems you are quite invaluable asset for TV

Child with dual citizenship entered Thailand with passport from a Schengen nation and has now stayed in Thailand for almost 2 years without leaving Thailand. I have been told by local immigration officers that children under 15 can't be fined for overstay but i would really like to print out such information in thai for "convenience" when i do eventually fly back to Europe with my child.

And please spare me the lecture about "why not enter on thai passport" as that was not an option for several reasons when the child came to Thailand.

What if you (as father) is the solo caretaker of the child? Surely it's bizarre to demand you carry around a letter from the childs mother stating that you can travel with your child even though the mother has absolutely nothing to do with that?

As a single parent you'll need full legal custody to get the kids passports let alone leave the country with them

I have solo custody of my daughter (mother is thai) in my native country and my daughter has dual citizenship. It's absurd that i couldn't fly back to my native country with my daughter where i have solo custody over her and where she is also a citizen.

Thank you all for the replies but i have one more question:

Does my ex-wife or son have to go to Savannakhet with me? We are actually still good friends but that doesnt mean i want to spend the entire day with her

What papers do i need to take with me to Savannakhet when i go there to apply for a single entry non-immigration visa to visit my child that is in Thailand?

I have the original birth certificate that the thai embassy in my country did for my son (as he was born there). It has my name on it as father and when my son was born i was still married in my country to my now ex-wife which means under my countries law he is my legitimate son. So he should be viewed as my "legitimate" child in Thailand as well right? We (my ex-wife, me and three witnesses) will register him at amphur on friday (as tomorrow it's closed) and that way get his name in tabien-baan as well.

Also:

Am i correct in thinking that i get 90 days (if i get the visa) when i enter Thailand via land route to Mukdahan and then i can further extend the stay for 60 days at the local immigration office?

How much does the single entry non-immigration visa cost at Savannakhet?

Am i able to get residence certificate from local immigration office so i can get thai drivers license with this kind of visa (as they have refused to give me one with tourist visa)?
