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.
TLDR : 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.
