Hello Expats,
My Name is Nabin Sharma, from Nepal, working for a company in Bangkok. My PayScale is around 30,XXX baht per a month. I have a work permit and working visa (non-B) provided by the company. I want to bring my parents to stay with me. The appropriate visa category will be deepened Non-Immigrant Visa “O-A” (Long Stay) visa because they are more than 50 years old.
For this type of VISA, Thai MoFA website mentions that either I need to have bank balance not less than 800,000 Baht for three months or my parents should have monthly income certificate of not less than 65,000 Baht.
In my case, I fulfill none of the above-mentioned requirements, therefore is showing 800,000 baht into my account mandatory? If Yes, how could I do that one? Please advise me.
Or
If you know another way around, still I could bring my parents please share with me.
Thanks, in advance for your constructive comments.
Nabin
TLDR : Answer Summary
Nabin Sharma, an expat working in Bangkok, inquires about bringing his parents to Thailand on a Non-Immigrant O-A visa, specifically highlighting his inability to meet the financial requirements of having 800,000 baht in his bank account or providing a monthly income certificate for his parents. Comments suggest exploring the Non-Immigrant O visa's requirements, which may not have strict financial criteria and advise both parents to apply for the O-A visa as a potential solution.
