What is the best way to use this type of visa?

 

I recently received a Multi Non-O based on having a child.  I am not married or do I have legal custody of the child.

 

I've heard that I can stay 90 days, and then a day or two before the 90 days is up go to my local immigration office, and ask them for a 60 day extension?  What documents will I need to show them?

 

After I get the 60 day extension I then do a visa run before the expiration of the 60 days, and this will reactivate the visa for another 90 days upon entering Thailand? I can then do another extension for 60 days?  How long can I keep doing this? 

 

The visa I assume is good for 4-90 day entries, so if I get 4-60 days extensions is the visa good for a total of 20 months?

Nope.

The Visa is valid for a period of 12 months from date of issue.

So will expire the middle of April 2018.

Do a border run just before it expires to get another 90 days.

Your visa allows unlimited 90 day entries up to the enter before date on the visa. You can get a new 90 entry on or before the enter before date on the visa that will allow a total stay on about 15 months plus another 60 days by getting the 60 day extension of the last entry.

You can get a 60 day extension of each 90 day entry the visa allows. You can apply for during the last 2 weeks of your 90 day entry. You will need your child's birth certificate plus a copy of of their house book registry.

You have to be careful getting the 60 day extensions so that you don't miss getting the last 90 entry from your visa on or before the enter before date on the visa.

Thanks ubonjoe,

 

When applying for the extension of 60 days during the last 2 weeks of my 90 day entry, does the extension start on the day I apply for the extension, or does it start on the last day on my 90 day entry?  What is this type of extension called? 

 

When I need to leave the country at the end of these extension will a regular borderland visa run be sufficient, or do I need to fly out of the country?

It is an extension to visit you child. It starts from the end of your 90 day entry.

You can leave and re-enter by land or air.
