Hello.
I have a Non "O" visa multiple entry got in Vientiane 01.08.24. I obtained this being married to a thai national.
We both have a 9 years old child together (my name on birth certificate).
My thai wife now wishes to divorce and here is the question.
A few years ago here was written that this type of visa is not cancelled after divorce and can be used untill the provided date (July 2025).
Please advise if this term is still valid and I should not notify immigration about marriage cancellation and immediately do a new visa based on kid's care.
Also if someone have an experience in local divorce procedure please share it with me in private message as I have no idea how its going on...
Thanks in advance.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The Non O visa allows you to remain in Thailand until its expiration date regardless of changes in marital status. You can continue using this visa for multiple entries until July 2025, even after a divorce from your Thai spouse. It's recommended not to notify immigration about the divorce and to maximize the time allowed on the visa. Additionally, you can later apply for an extension based on caring for your Thai child.
