Thai Child Visa – Chiang Mai

Thai Child Dependent Visa (Non-immigrant O)

Although there are several variations of Non-Immigrant O Visa, Thai Child Visa is important as it’ll allow the parent, usually a father, to live with his child. If you’re divorced from a Thai national and have a biological or legal stepchild, you can get the full opportunity to be with your child.
Although parents often have legal custody of the child in unmarried couples, a Non-Immigrant O Visa (Thai Child) allows them to stay for a longer duration. The foreign parent can apply for an “O” visa in case of a dependent child. This visa is similar to a marriage visa, but it is very helpful for foreigners who have children with their unmarried Thai nation Partners.

Dependency based stay in Thailand:

If you wanted to apply for a long-stay visa to support your children, you could stay in Thailand due to dependency. Your visa will be processed because of this reason. This visa is called a Thai Child Support Visa.

Custodial rights of the father:

An agreement should be made between mother, father, and Child regarding custody. But if involved parties cannot reach a said agreement, then the father must refer to the court for custodial rights.
This is a civil issue, hence requires legal intervention. The court will make a sound judgment according to the evidence provided regarding the father’s custodial rights.

Legitimation of a child:

If you’re legally married to a Thai national, you’ll easily be recognized as the child’s father. But the situation becomes complex in the case of unmarried couples. Two critical issues arise in this situation:
⦁ Legitimization of the Child in father’s country
⦁ Custodial rights of the biological father
