I have a question...
My Swedish girlfriend with her Swedish passport got an extension for a year at immigrations yesterday because she used to be Thai since she was adopted from Thailand 1976 when she was 6 months old.
If we got married, can I get some kind of extension as well like a "dependent/spouse" visa/extension?
I really would like to hear what you have to say in this matter. Thanks in advance.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The original poster inquired about the possibility of obtaining a dependent visa in Thailand after marrying his Swedish girlfriend, who recently received a one-year extension based on her previous Thai nationality. Commenters provided insights on the requirements for dependent visas, emphasizing that marriage to a Thai national may not apply in this case until she resolves her Thai citizenship status. To be eligible for a marriage-based visa, she would need to prove her Thai nationality by acquiring a Thai ID. Discussions also highlighted complexities around citizenship for adopted individuals and the need for proper documentation.
