Yes I have had the None O marriage, but as I am now seperated I will not be able to go that route, My ex lives in Australia now so she would not be able to attend immigration with me.

Before I have got Non immigrant visa based on marriage in Savannahket, paid 5000baht, takeny marry certificate and a letter from her stating can you issue my husband a visa.

I just want to go into Khonkaen immigration and extend a non immigrant I visa due to stay and take care of my son being a single Dad.

I will just get a non O immigrant visa based on visiting family, and take it from there, or I get it based on retirement 

in france for non O thai child or marriage they ask for 12 000e financial requirement , such a fool

Be aware: The first 12-mo extension you get from a Non-O Visa must be for the same reason as the visa was issued.

If you start with a Non-O Visa based on retirement, you could go straight to a 12-mo extension based on retirement.

You should apply for the Non O based on staying with Thai family.

https://www.thaievisa.go.th/visa/non-immigrant-o

 

That Non O will grant a stay of 90 days on entry.
You will need to open a bank account in your sole name and deposit 400K THB ASAP.

 

For the 1-year extension of stay, the 400K funds must have been deposited in a Thai bank account for 2 months prior to the date of the application.
Financial requirements here;
