What are the requirements and procedures for obtaining a Non-O Guardian Visa in Thailand for the parent of an international school student?
Questions about Non-O Guardian Visa for parent of student in an international school:
1. The initial visa is made outside of the country. Can it be made at any Thai consulate? (I am American, can I make it in Laos, England, Malaysia, wherever?)
2. Is there any financial requirement for the initial visa?
3. For the extension of stay, there is a financial requirement (500k banked for 30 days prior to initial extension). The application will be made in Chiang Mai. Can monthly transfer of funds for the preceding year totaling 500,000 per annum, take the place of the lump sum requirement (500k)?
Apologies if I got anything factually wrong in my questions.

Answer summary
The Non-O Guardian Visa for parents of students in international schools has specific requirements and procedures. The initial visa application can be made at any Thai consulate, but it's essential to check each consulate's specific requirements. There is a financial requirement of 500,000 baht in a bank account for visa extension; however, monthly transfers do not substitute for this lump sum requirement, as funds must be deposited for at least 30 days prior to the application.

Just so we're clear, there is NO monthly income method for meeting the proof of funds (500K baht) for getting an extension based on raising a foreign child here.It can only be banked money.

1. You have to check the requirements of the Thai Consulate where you like to go. As it sounds strange but not every Thai Consulate has the same requirements. 2. See answer question 1. 3. No, (5) In the case of parents, funds must be deposited in a bank in Thailand, under the father’s or the
mother’s name, of no less than Baht 500,000 for the past three months. For the first year only, the
applicant must have proof of a deposit account in which said amount of funds has been maintained
for no less than 30 days prior to the filing date.
