Udonthai Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I have Thai child. Not married. Not legalized father. I only have birth certificate. Now I’m in thailand with 3month non o visa. It will be expired soon. How do I get multiple non o immigrant visa for 1year? Go to Savannaket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Phoenix Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Note that I do not have any personal experience with that, but from what was mentioned in the many threads on applying for the MultipleEntry Non Imm O Visa in Savannakhet, I gathered that they do not accept 'thai dependant children' as reason for the application. But maybe some applicants did succeed in doing that, and then that would be your way to go. There is also the possibility to apply at the the Immigration Office of the province where you are currently residing, and ask for the requirements when applying there for the 1-year extension for reason of dependant children. However, even if that Imm Office does allow applications for 1-year extensions for reason of dependant children (not all Thai Immigration Offices provide that option), you would NOT be able to apply for it at this moment because the FIRST application for a 1-year extension has to be done for the SAME reason as the 90-day Non Imm O Visa you currently have (probably acquired for reason of retirement).

Now my visa is dependent visa I got in Vientiane, not for retirement. If I go to the Udon Thani immigration office, could I possibly extend my one-year stay?

How about 3month?? This site is also confusing with conflicting information. Some people say you can do it with just a birth certificate, while others say you can't. An agent told me it can be done with just a birth certificate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestro Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 20 hours ago, Udonthai said: My child is depending on me Got it. You are currently on the 90-day permission you received when you entered with a non-O visa, for which you had applied at a Thai embassy for the reason of travelling to Thailand to visit your child of Thai nationality. Now, you wish to apply for a one-year extension of stay for the reason of living with your child. Clause 2.18(5) first paragraph, applies to this. Note: The correct translation of the Thai text would be: "In the case of a parent, that parent must..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I remember it, the child had to at least seven years old for this purpose. This procedure may vary from one immigration office to another. @Udonthai 1. How old is your child? 2. Is your child in fact living with you on a continuous basis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true, the child can attest at the local government office that he is the father, when they reach an age of responsibility, which generally (as you said) is about the age of 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the child was born in wedlock, then only a birth certificate is required. If the child was born out of wedlock, then you need to be legalized as the Father.
