Hi All!
I have a child and girlfriend living in Thailand and I'm currently looking at suitable visa types. My job makes things a little trickier as I work outside of Thailand for 28 days and then I will spend 28 days in Thailand away from work, this rotation will carry on indefinitely so multiple entries is a must. I sent an email to the Thai E Visa website and they responded saying a DTV would be the most suitable option. However, when I look at applying for a DTV on the E Visa website the only choice I seem to have is that of a spouse of a DTV holder and not that of a parent of a Thai dependent as the lady stated in her reply. I've tried emailing a few times again but just get the same reply stating the DTV. Has anyone here been granted a DTV as the parent or guardian of a Thai dependent and if so how did you go about it?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking advice on the best visa options for someone with a rotating work schedule, specifically related to their status as a father of a Thai child. They have received conflicting information about the suitability of a DTV visa, leading to inquiries about the possible options for applying as a parent of a Thai dependent. Responses suggest exploring a Non-O multi-entry visa which can be applied for from a Thai consulate, particularly in Ho Chi Minh City, as it is more accommodating for cases of this nature.
