what happens if my thailand wife dies before me ( im english with a married visa) she has two children (in their 30s) from another marriage. my wife thinks i can claim that i have children. i disagree because they are not my birth children. does anyone know the answer to this situation? thanks in advance. if you have nothing nice to say don't bother speaking.
TLDR : Answer Summary
If your Thai wife passes away, your marriage-based visa (NON-O) would typically expire, meaning you would need to find an alternative visa solution. Since her children are from a previous marriage and over 20 years old, you cannot claim them as dependents for visa purposes. Some comments suggest considering a retirement visa as an alternative. Legal advice is strongly recommended to understand your rights regarding property and any potential inheritance from your wife.
