The Thai husband of a foreigner died while she was away from Thailand with kids on a trip. The children are Thai citizens and currently abroad. How does the death of a spouse affect the marriage visa? Especially with kids?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The death of a Thai spouse affects a foreigner's marriage visa significantly. If the foreigner holds a year-long, multi-entry visa, it remains valid until it expires. However, if they are on a yearly extension of stay based on their marriage, they must present the death certificate to the immigration office upon returning to Thailand, cancel their current extension, and apply for a new extension based on raising Thai children. This new application will be subject to financial requirements for custodial parents, contrasting with the marriage extension which typically has no such requirements.
