I heard sometime ago that if you had a child of Thai nationality and your name is on the birth certificate there is a visa which allows you to stay as a parent in Thailand once the child leaves education and starts work and supports a parent living in Thailand aged over 65 ?
I have currently a Non O visa with funds tied up in my bank account and would like the option of withdrawing the money and investing elsewhere
Anyone shine a light on this type of visa ?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation discusses the nuances of obtaining a visa for parents of Thai citizens. It specifies that while there is a visa available for parents of Thai children, it does not permit dependency based on the child's future status once they reach 20 years of age. Comments also clarify that simply having your name on the birth certificate may not suffice; the parent must have legal rights over the child, and that to qualify for a dependent visa, conditions such as age (50 years or older) and living arrangements might apply. Seeking information directly from the local immigration office is recommended for accurate guidance.
