VISA options for staying in Thailand

[ubonjoe]

I am back in Thailand with Non O single entry.

I'm confused with the next step because I'm hearing and reading conflicting information.

Right now, we're trying to continue with making me the legal father.

After phoning a lawyer, we've been told that I need a DNA test. This is the first problem, as I've read that a DNA test is not required. They said that the process can take up to 6 months...

They've also said that I need to show a work permit, which makes 0 sense.. Only working people can be a father?

Can someone tell me the proper steps to take without being dicked around. Preferably someone with credible, first hand experience?

Did you look at this topic. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/381917-how-to-gain-parental-rights-as-a-father/ Lots of posts in it from people that have done it.
