Hello

I've tried searching through the posts to help but had no luck. I'm a Canada passport holder, usually come to Thailand on visa exempt 2-3 times per year. I have a Thai daughter , under 20 years old, that was born and lives here with mum. We are not married. Next year I plan to move to Thailand on a more permanent basis to be with them.

I know I could do a long term ( aged 50+ years) visa , but do I have the option for a non immigrant o visa based on having a Thai child?

Other question would be could I come here on a tourist visa and switch it to the non immigrant o while here?

Any advice is super helpful?
