Hi with the Non o dependent visa based on having custody of my children does the 400'000 Bhatt have to be in the  bank for 2 months before application?and afterwards for 2 months ?

Thankyou in advance

Nothing afterwards but recommended to keep the 400k untouched for under consideration period. 

There is no dependent extension.

I assume you are asking about a extension of stay based upon being the parent of a Thai the 400k baht only has to be in the bank on the day you apply and then to be safe during the 30 day under consideration period you will have.

Unless you live in Khon Kaen, where Immigration insist on 2 months before application. ????

Phuket immigration, I put it in a week before and do not touch it during the month it takes to process the visa. After  that it has been no problem to use the money.

What is your current permission of stay based on.

How did you last enter Thailand. Meaning tourist visa, visa exempt etc 

Being parent Thai child there is no big need for agent.

Unless you are still married and living with the child's mother.

In which case they will issue the extension based on being married to a Thai lady.

Money in the bank for 2 weeks prior to application.

All normal and according to the regulations.

It is almost the same as applying for extension based upon marriage to a Thai.

Change marriage certificate to birth certificate and copies of the their house book registry and ID card (if any).

Here is my list for marriage. Marriage Extension Requirements 2.pdf

You should check with your local immigration office as to what they require since it can vary from office.

I assume you are the legal parent of child by marriage or legitimization of your parenthood.

Thankyou again Ubonjoe ,yes I have I legal custody of my children but I usually do border hop and get a single entry non o now I will go down this route to secure my visa .Thankyou for your time .

Provided you have the 400K in a Thai bank, then applying for a 1 year extension of stay based being the parent of a Thai, is far less stressful than continual doing border hops to get a Non O.

Sorry to hijack this thread.

For the last 10 years I have been living & working in Thailand off annual extensions of the permission to stay on an original single entry non-B.

In the not too distant future my work will come to an end, but I will look to remain living here with my children of whom I have legal custody.

 

Is it a simple case to show the local immigration office the correct paperwork in support of a change of the reason why I am seeking an extension of the permission to stay or would I need to leave the country to obtain a non-O first and then submit the paperwork to the local immigration office to receive an annual extension?

No need to leave the country to change you extension of stay based upon working to one based upon being the parent of a Thai.

The only extra paperwork to do the change is a letter from your employer stating the date you will no longer working to have your extension canceled and then apply for the new extension.

Its best to ask that question at your local immigration office.

Paperwork was similar to the marriage extension, but add the Thai kids details ID, house book, pictures together inside and outside the house with the house number, no bare chested photos of the kid as I did one year with my son by the pool, not accepted. Also as we were divorced a copy of the divorce paper and an updated version of the divorce agreement registered at the local Amphur office คร6 not คร2 . The agreement has not changed but they want a new copy stamped by the office every year.

@ubonjoe I already have a marriage extension but to get another one via the 40K per month does the funds have to of gone in each and every month? or can it be the average of what has gone in over the last year? I have put much more into my BBK account but just not every single month

The rules state that it can be average of 40k baht for a year but the majority of immigration offices will not accept it. They insist it must be 12 months of at least 40k baht a month transferred from abroad.
