How will changing my name affect my visa status in Thailand?
Hello, I'm here attached to my husband's visa, I never changed my name when we first got married but now I would like to (to make it easier to travel with our daughter) I can easily change my name on my passport but how will this effect my visa, will I have to start the process from scratch?

When you say ' attached to my husband's visa' do you mean a dependant visa, I have heard of this but have been told that no immigration issues it?

Guess have issue new passport, with new name, and bring it with all papers to immigration. I think better asking immigration where eventually you would present all documentations
