Good day to all BMs,im a newby here and i have a question regarding my visa situation.

im the legal father of a minor thai child but im not married legally to the mother,

i planning to request a non immigrant O visa in Thai embassy in Kuala Lumpur.

it is possible to obtain even if im not married? i have all the other requirement,money in the bank,certificate of birth with my name on,ecc..ecc..

Thank you in advance for any response.

Cheers

sorry for my bad english(not my mother tongue)

You could only get a single entry. Unless you legitimize your parent hood through a court or at Amphoe if child is old enough. Your name on birth certificate is not enough.

Also KL no longer do multiple entry visas.

You can get a 60 day extension at immigration to visit your child though.

Thank you Ubonjoe,

well if i can obtain a single non imm O entry with my present situation and paperwork will be fine.

then can i apply for 1 year extension at the phuket immigration.

do you think is better to contact the thai embassy in Kl for further detail?

Kop Khun krab

You can't get a one year extension without doing the legitimization either.

Kl may want to see 400K baht in the bank.

You should get the multiple entry version, I have got it before with exact same circumstances, just from a different country.

Each embassy can have their own particular mood swings.

I am traveling for the last 8 years to Thailand and every year I am getting an multiple entry valid for 1 year, based on my child in Thailand (not married) with the same paperwork you have, but no money in the bank.

I am Swiss, but getting this visa in Florida from the Thai consulate.

Works in almost all European countries as well. But not at the Thai embassies, need to go to a consulate.-

Best to call them honorary consulates.

There are also official Thai consulates that are the same as an embassy.

Thank you for your answer,but now im little confused.

Ticket in hand for Kuala, my paper consist of: child birth certificate with my name on,Tabian baan with child name on,bank statement and book with 4k on,

copy of child Thai ID card. i just need one entry visa tipe O then i will extend it in phuket immigration.

if in KL is to complicate to get such visa with my current paperwork,i can switch to Penang. any suggestion?

Thank you very much.

PS im not married but i live with the mother and child.

You will not get a multiple entry In KL they stopped doing them for marriage even.

You could try for Penang. Contact one of the agents there for latest info.

You will not get an extension based on your child if you are not the legal father.

Consulates abroad can give you a non-O with only birth certificate but not immigrations in Thailand.

Better try for a multiple entry abroad or legitimize your child.

Well,i will apply for 1 entry in KL,then i have 3 months time to legitimize my status at Phuket juvenile and family court,so i can extend my visa at Phuket immigration.

Thank you for all your answer,really appreciate.

Cheers

You can make your 90 day entry 150 days by getting a 60 day extension of stay to visit your child if you need more time. Your name on birth certificate is enough for it.

The Birth certificate is a legal document and there fore legitimate and as such can be used.In my case the British embassy in Bangkok accepted my daughters birth certificate and she was issued with a British passport. I am not married to her mother.

That is based upon UK law.

For Thai immigration and visa purposes you are not the legal father until you have your parenthood legitimized.

I am the worst expert on this issue but your rights definitely shows important.

There are two things that may help -

1. Get the approved letter from auphor office to prove you are the guarantor ???

OR

2. Get the shared child custody certificate from the court ??? This is something Thai immigration can deal with.

Good luck...

hello Stokakrishna,

my child is 14 years old now, and i get the legal status from the amphoe when she was 7 years old and can sign the paper.

her mother sign the paper too. My child hold dual passport,thai and italian from the age of 1.

the italian embassy just need the translate birth certificate with my name on and the signature of the mother.

if your child is below 7 year of age you can get the legal status from the provincial Juvenile and Family court.

Hope everything going well. Chokdee

Have you confirmed this as a requirement with your Embassy for nationality? Would suspect DNA might be accepted.

Best advise! Take yourself, your Thai lady and the baby directly to Thai Immigration, then ask them the same question.

The Polish Embassy can answer ALL of your questions, and give you accurate, useful information.

No need to apologize for your English. You communicate just fine. Cheers

Why would the Polish Embassy know anything about Thai legal issues ?

His goal appears to be to obtain a Polish passport for child.

Understood but the Polish Embassy people will likely turn him back to the Thai authorities who are the only people likely to be able to assist in legitimizing the child's Farther
