Do you have custody of your child to get this extension of stay and is it sole custody or shared custody.
I went to immigration in Hua Hin a few weeks ago and they wanted 400,000 baht in my account. However I did not have custody so was refused :-(

I have another question on this. If I am not legally recognised as the father of my son, why would the Thai Consulate in Melbourne, Australia grant me a 1 yr multiple entry visa on family grounds. To prove I was the father of a child in Thailand all I had to do was show a copy of the Thai birth certificate as evidence. These were Thai people and not aussies working there. They recognised me as the legal father.
Well back in November was not a problem but since February this year the rules have changed and you now need to show the custody document what ever it's called. Anyone know the name of the document?

Yes, some immigration offices want to have a docuemtn from teh courts that you are the legal fahter and for soem reason do not accept the amphur document, which is just as legal.
Sole parental rights is not a requirement, that you have (shared) parental rights is. Are you sure they wanted you to have sole parental rights?

I'm going to have to go back and get the name of the document in Thai and get the meaning translated, custody/adoption/shared rights who knows. Will post again when I know the name. My daughters surname is mine also, can't believe this carry on!
Also I don't think it is some immigration offices as the extension of stay based on support needs to goto head office in Bangkok and the office here called Bangkok who told them of this requirement and then refused me as I did not have the custody doc, so I think this must be country wide.

In all likelyhood not. A 1 year old child cannot confirm you are the fahter, as their speech and intellect has not developed enough.
As said, there are some cases where a minor under 7 years old was accepted to make a statement, but they were at least 3 or 4 years old. (The law doesn't give an age, it only says that the child must agree/confirm that you are the fahter. The general norm set by amphurs seems to be 7 years).

Mario, we got the Amphur document with our daughter being 5 year old and just having to answer a few questions like 'What's your Daddy's name'
