Support a Thai Child Requirements

[Nadia6]

Can anyone direct me to the exact paper work I need to accumulate for a Visa to support a Thai Child so an application for the visa can be made.

thank you

Are you the parent of the child?

[Nadia6]

Yes

Where would you be applying for the visa?

After getting a non-o visa based upon being the parent of a Thai you could apply for a one year extension of stay but you have to be the legal parent of your child by way of marriage or legitimization of your parenthood.

You could also apply for a 60 day extension to visit your child without needing to be their legal parent.

I am applying for the one year extension of stay based on supporting my child I am on my 60 day extension (I was on an O visa) now which expires on the 16th then will automatically be on the amnesty until the 26th but hope to apply for the year extension within days, marriage is not an issue as the wife will be going with me I have marriage cert Brith cert etc 

Just trying to get the list of documents I need to get together then off to CM Immigarion

It would be best to check with immigration in Chiang Mai since the requirements for an extension based upon being the parent of a Thai varies greatly from office to office.

One of the requirements that is valid nationwide (I think) is that you have to show 400,000 baht on your bank account.

Did mine yesturday..

Everything you copy,you will need 2 of..

Passport,entry card,visa page.

House or appartment document.

If your house is in company name,you need tax docs.plus the tor tor san for house.

Bank book all pages,make a transaction on the day you go.

6 photos of you and family,1,at the fromt of house,2living room 3 bedroom and so on.

Show at least 400.000k in bank.

2 passport photos of yourself.

Thai id if you have one.

Blue book,and if you have yellow book.

I took the 6 photos printed them at the shop,then copied them onto A4 paper,3 and 3..this is how they want them..

Dont forget 2 copies of everything.

Take more docs if you have them,just incase..

If they give it you,they will stamp your passport for 1 month,you go back on the day they stamped it,and will stamp you up for the 11 months...ie 1year..good luck

the big problem with that, is the old (as in recent updated) official immigration website gives you a nice big fat 4O4 error ... most people will go open requirements for marriage or pension, but the parent of thai child file / pdf is 4O4...

Thai ID? This is NOT needed. Also, yellow book is not needed.  I know as my yellow book is for property in another place.
