Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone could kindly assist me with few question below regarding the visa extension process. We are now on 90 day Non-Im Ed/O.
We are a family of four. Our two children have Non-IMG ED visas, and my husband and I have Non-IMG O visas, supporting our child who studies at an international school in Bangkok.
1. On the day of the appointment for the visa extension, can either the mother or father submit the documents on behalf of the family, or do all four family members, including both parents and children, need to be present at the immigration bureau?
2. How many days before the expiration date of our 90-day Non-IMG visas should we visit the immigration bureau to apply for an extension?
3. For our family of four, should we book four separate appointments, or is one appointment sufficient for the entire family?
4. Which branch of the immigration bureau in Bangkok should we go to for the visa extension?
5. Finally, how long does the visa extension process typically take?
Additionally, could anyone kindly provide the most recent handouts or documents for the non-ED/guardian visa?
Thank you in advance for your help โค๏ธ
