TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking guidance on visa options available in Thailand after staying for nearly 9 months. They mention having a Thai baby but their fiancée is not present, complicating the situation. Comments highlight that the user may qualify for a long-term visa based on their Thai child, even without being married, and that financial criteria may apply. Additionally, a temporary family visit extension is noted as an option with no financial requirements.

You would qualify for a long term visa based on your Thai child, even if unmarried, but I think you would need 400,000 in the bank or income of 40k/month. The Thai father can also fulfill this requirement. If you married the father you could get an extension based on marriage with no financial requirements. If you are stuck in the short term there is also a special 60 day "visit Thai family" extension that has no financial requirements. This is a one off though.

ok that should make it easier i dont really see why you shouldnt be able to get a non O or something would be easier with Marriage certificate.

I suggest you get letter written in Thai from your fiance very politely. Explaining he is stuck wherever and can they please assist you as best as possible. Include his number in letter so they can contact him by line. Take that to immigration office and ask how to procede.

Thats an answer only the immigratiin officer can tell you. It doesnt really matter where you are living forget about parents for now. They will probably need copy of house registration later but first get the letter copy of birth certificate and copy husbands ID and go see immigration they are not monsters and will assist

if your baby has the Thai nationality speed yourself to immigration and ask their vision. Being married with your boyfriend would be a big advantage, but ask what your options are.

You have to get your baby's DNA to prove paternity.
