Hi all,
I have a long question that may just have a simple answer. I'm a teacher moving to BKK in July and my school is processing visas for myself and my son. The reason they are not processing my husband's at the moment is because he is trying to get the M media visa. In the event that he doesn't get it, we are worried that the school might not have time to get him a dependent visa. If he comes over with us with just a tourist visa then, how hard is it to convert it to a dependent visa while we are over there? Or would he have to leave the county? I am American, and he's French. Thanks!
TLDR : Answer Summary
A teacher moving to Bangkok is concerned about her husband's visa situation as he applies for an M media visa. If he enters Thailand on a tourist visa, the question is whether he can convert it to a dependent visa without needing to leave the country. Responses indicate that he may face difficulties obtaining the M visa and suggest alternatives like a single-entry tourist or Non-O visa for ease of transition.
