Hi there,

 

I am currently on a Visa Exempt (30 days left).

I have a Thai child (5 years old), mother passed away and I am the sole parent.

 

I am trying to get the Non-Immigrant O Visa (Thai Child) visa, it's my understanding that I have to apply and get the 3 month version first before applying for the 1 year extension.

Is it possible to apply for this initial 3 month within Thailand given that I have a month left in the country still? Or do I explicitly have to apply from outside the country (such as Laos)?

 

I have all the required documents and funds (400k in a Thai bank)

 

Thanks for any advice

You can obtain non O based on parent of Thai child from inside Thailand.

You need to apply with 15+ days remaining on your visa exempt stamp.

Which immigration office?

Both for non O and 12 month extension..
