I need help - currently started working at a school in Bangkok. The process for legalising documents {degrees} was delayed and now I am worried my wife won't be able to stay under my visa when I do receive. Do schools or the ministry of education endorse spousal visas?
Answer summary
The individual is concerned about their wife's ability to stay in Thailand under their visa due to delays in legalizing their documents. Key responses indicate that the school must agree to the wife's dependent status under the teacher's visa and that specific paperwork is required. Once the teacher obtains their visa, they may be able to add their wife as a dependent, but this is contingent on school approval and appropriate documentation. Additionally, it's noted that working without a full visa and work permit places the teacher in a legally precarious situation.

She needs an O visa and then can be added to your Extension as your dependent, as long as your school agree and produce all the paperwork.

If you already started working and don't have your visa and work permit yet, you are working illegally. Be careful

As soon as you get your full visa, you could get your wife tied up with it WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE SCHOOL, but, of course, you'll need some school papers.

the school have to agree to your wife staying under your visa since they could be liable for any costs arising. You can’t get her on your visa without their agreement.
