I concur

Extension Based on Support of a Dependant

For holders of a non-immigrant type 'O' visa, who support a Thai national dependant (child), then it is possible to extend the visa annually. However, conditions do apply. Firstly, the applicant needs to be named on the birth certificate of the child. Secondly, with the applicant, the second parent, or a combination of both parties, must be able to show a sum of 400,000 in a Thai bank, deposited 3 months prior to applying for the extension, or be able to prove either an individual or joint income of 40,000 Baht per month.

But on the Forum we love to hate .....they say

There is no requirement to have the money in the bank for any period of time.

(5) In the case of a parent, one of parents must have an average annual income of not less than 40,000 baht per month or a money deposit of not less than 400,000 baht for expenses within a year.


Best bet is to phone your Local Immigration Office and ask them
