Can a foreign spouse continue to reside in Thailand after the death of their Thai partner?

Jeezuz H Christ people 😕

Let's put this to bed, as I'm not wanting to go thru ever permutation of what if this person dies, that person dies, etc 😮

IF you are on an extension of stay (marriage to a thai, marriage to a foreigner legally working here, marriage to a foreigner retired here) and the REASON you have the visa/extension changes <- as in the thai spouse/foreign spouse) dies you have until your current extension expires to FIND a new way to stay (qualify for another extension type).

If you’ve got a Thai husband you should apply for citizenship which is fairly straightforward for foreign women to get . Means you won’t have to worry about visas.

if you are over 50 you can get a retirement visa for yourself

This is how it works,

IF you are on an "extension of stay" based on marriage to a thai and the spouse dies, you can stay on the extension you're on until it expires (it does not cancel upon the death of a spouse).

However when it runs out you need to find a new reason to get another extension, thai children, retirement, etc and meet the requirements for that extension
