Thanks for all your advice.. you guys are a great help.

I have a question... I am currently on a Non O visa (child dependent) which expires in about 4 months or so. However, I would like to change it to a one year ED visa when the time comes. Is it possible without leaving the country?

Does anyone have information/knowledge about converting a Non-B Visa to a Non-O child dependent Visa?

What are the requirements in getting Non-O child dependent visa inside Thailand? Thanks

I am an American citizen who has a NON-RE Multi-Entry Permit based on Retirement that was renewed for one year recently. For next year's renewal I have already started having 65,000 Baht transferred monthly into my Thai bank from abroad.

My non-Thai girlfriend (Lao) will be having our first child this year, and the child will be registered as an American citizen with an American passport. I believe the baby, who will be born in Thailand, can stay in Thailand with me, as a dependent child under my retirement permit.

My main question: Are there additional financial requirements for me to meet for the baby to be able to stay in Thailand under basically the same terms as me?

Thank you in advance.

This is a good group. I always read the posts but today I have a question. I have a Thai son 22 years old. What kind of visa does that entitle me to?
