Yesterday I went to the Immigration Department here in Bangkok and asked them about the " Dependency Visa" that you and I talked about before. And the officer I spoke with told me there is no such visa for that. He recommended me to leave the country until I turn 50 and then get a retirement visa. Just wanted to let you know.

he was wrong; or u asked the wrong thing.
its not really called a "dependent visa but (sorry if i gave u the wrong name)

It would be a non-o visa based upon being the parent of a Thai.
That is an extension of stay done at immigration under clause 2.18 of .Police Order 327/2557 basis for extension of stay.

"2.18 In the case of being a family member of a Thai national (applicable only to parents, spouse, children, adopted children, or spouse’s children):"

Thats how i got this visa and had it for 2 years before i turned 50. I also went to court and had legal sole custody of my daughter.
if u have a child u can get a non o visa abroad for reasons the thai child is urs and than extend in country for 1 year,

Are you supporting a child in Thailand?

The Child Support visa is advisable for unmarried foreigners who are in a relationship with a Thai national, have a child or children with that person, and are committed to adopt and raise the Thai child/children. If a foreigner is currently unwilling or unable to marry this might be a very good option.
