What are the requirements for obtaining a Non-O visa for family stay in Thailand?

@Te**

, believe me I'm not tryin to poke fun at you, I'm doing my best to make a really dry, and sometimes confusing topic interesting enough so it clicks with you :O :) The more you know what you're here on, etc the better equipped you are to deal with immigration people.

Definitely GO get the 30 day extension on your current 30 day visa exempt entry stamps <- no need to wait until they're almost expiring because the 30 days is ADDED to your current expiration date 　

Then ask for the hand out on how to apply for an in country Non-O visa based on being a "trailing spouse" <- meaning you are getting a Non-O visa because you're married to a foreigner who legally works here on a Non-B/work permit.

Good Luck, please realize I meant no disrespect in my comments to you and am just trying to get you up to speed so you can navigate this and push your own paper at the immigration office.

@Bernd *******

Then you should take your wife and child out to the Chaengwattana Immigration office and see if you can get the hand out that lists the requirements to get in country Non-O visas for your wife and child.

I know for a fact they will need at least 15 days of stay left on their current entry stamp (a 30 day visa exempt or a 60 day tourist visa or a 30 day extension off one of those) to apply for the in country 90 day Non-O visa.

The section that issues in country Non-Immigrant Type visas is Section C-1 out there.

Where did your husband go to get his visa?

There is only ONE immigration office in Bangkok that most people use and it's at the Chaengwattana government complex.

The place you need to start is with your husbands employer :/ They should be helping you arrange to see if you can get the Non-O visa inside the country OR if you have to leave the country and get it from a thai consulate in a nearby country.
