Can a spouse apply for a dependent visa in Thailand if the other spouse holds a NON-O visa for over 50?
Hi, if one spouse applies for non-o visa in Thailand (over50) can other spouse apply for dependent (under50) within Thailand or does this need to be done in home country via OA ?
Answer summary
When one spouse applies for a NON-O visa in Thailand due to being over 50, the other spouse can potentially apply for a dependent visa within Thailand, especially at the Phuket immigration office, based on recent policy changes. However, this option is not widely reported, so proceeding through a consulate in the home country is a safer route unless the primary visa holder has already received their year extension.

If you happen to be using the Phuket office then from a recent change in policy you could possibly get a dependent visa in country. I’ve not seen a report from anyone who has as yet which is why I used “possibly”.
If not using Phuket then no. You would need to wait until your spouse is on their year extension of stay and then go to a nearby consulate and apply there.

HaNOi or HCMC. Not one in Da Nang. Check the website for whichever embassy you’re going to go to for their requirements. Some require appointments.Donna *******
