Thanks I will do that. The office at Khlong Toei MRT is near the embassy as well so that’s perfect ????

I need to have my daughters birth certicate translated into english at Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Bangkok.
 

Is it possible to get it translated within a few hours or does it take days? 

Do I need to book an appointment in advance or can we just show up at MoFA before opening hours?

I went to the immigration in Kamphaeng Phet today and this is what happend:

I came in on a 30 day tourist visa on the 13th of March and became a father on the 16th.

I was offered 3 options:

Extend my tourist visa for 30 days

Get 60 day parent extension

Or get 30 day Covid-19 extension

I decided to go with 30 day tourist extension first, because if I go with the 60 day parent extension, then I would not be able to do the 30 day tourist extension afterwards.

when I have used my tourist and parent extension then I can use the Covid-19 extension, if there’s still a problem with that at that time.

Only 2-3 other people at the office so everything went nice and smoothly ????

Not correct.

Applying for a 60 day extension to visit a Thai child does not require the father to be the legal parent of them.

That is only required for a one year extension of stay.

So if I want a one year extension in the future a judge needs to confirm it first? It’s not enough that the child has my last name on the birth certificate

You can apply for a 60 day extension to visit your child.

Several topics discussing them on this forum.

Thanks I will do that.. I was just afraid that I could only get 30 days because I came in on a 30 day arrival visa.

I landed in Thailand on the 13th of March on a 30 day tourist visa and became a father of a thai child on the 16th. I already have a letter from my embassy saying that I cant go back home, but what are my options when I go to the immigration Office in April?

Edit: and the birth certifikat of course
