Regarding the new rules and my situation: I have been staying in Thailand for 5 years now (tourist visa) I work abroad and NOT in Thailand but i have my family there (thai girlfriend and also one baby together since 2 years). I travel in and out, sometimes every week and sometimes im out from the country for several month. Now i wonder if anybody knows if it is possible to apply for O visa on the birth certificate on my baby. Have heard that some people that got a baby been to penang and get O visa even if not married.

As long as you are named on the birth certificate you shouldn't have a problem.

Applying in your country of residence/work you may even be able to get a multiple-entry non-O visa for the purpose of “visiting family and friends”.

This would give you an unlimited number of entries within a 12-month period, if this is useful for you. If you make three or more trips to Thailand per year, this will cost you less than a single-entry non-O for each trip.
