bigt116 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I currently have a single entry Non-O from KL based on having a Thai child, (I am not yet married to the mother). I am sure that I have read that you can get a ,(one off?), 60 day extension to your visa based on a child. Three questions spring to mind; Is it true, and if so is there a time limit? (my daughter was born in April this year) How much would it cost What paper work would I need to provide ? Any help would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 You can, the cost is 1,900 baht. No time limit. You would need to show the birth certificate naming you as the father. Taking the child and mother with you might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(will def take er indoors and the little princess, will be a nice day out for us all :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 If you live in bangkok, yes. otherwise it is your own immigration ofice for the area where you live in. But you might need to go to the office for where the child is registered in the household book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mario2008 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 You are aware that you need to legitimize the child if you want to become the legal father. (For the 60 day extension being named on the birth certificate will be enough).

But would rather not have to go to Si Sa Ket to get the extension as that is where the family registered the birth in the 'blue book'. I currently reside in Bankgok, (as mum and princess do to!)

Mario2008 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Don't know how immigration in bangkok will react to that. Hopefully you can extend in Bangkok. The extension is one time, not back to back. Being named on the birth certificate is not enough, you would have had to register the child in person at the amphur to become the legal father. You are not yet married to the mother, so I presume you will soon. When you marry the mother you will automatically legalize the child under Thai law. It means curently you can get a 60 day extension, but can't get a 1 year extension. You might get a 1 year multiple non-O based on the child from KL if you can show 100,000 in the bank.
