Hi All,
I’m applying for non immigrant O visas for myself, wife and son. Mine is business, wife is dependent and son is education (he is my step son, so not eligible for dependant). I have a questions that I’m hoping for advice on. Applying for E Visas through the Thai consulate in Australia.
1) intended date of departure? We don’t plan to depart. We will apply for extensions before the 90 day initial period ends. What do I put down for the date of departure?
2) address information? We have a condo secured in Bangkok. Do I put current address in Australia as the home address? I believe I do, however it then asks, “Is your permanent address the same as your current address”. Please provide clarity.
3) My wife as a dependent? It asks for her employment details. She currently works in Australia but will not be working in Thailand. How do I answer this question?
Thanks in advance. I’m trying to ensure that I get this right to avoid delays in the process.
TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for non-immigrant O visas through the Thai consulate in Australia, clarify the following: 1) For departure date, indicate a date within 90 days of entering Thailand; 2) Use your current address in Australia as your home address; 3) For your wife's employment, note 'self' since she won't be working in Thailand. It's recommended to apply for your visa first, then your wife's as a dependent under the category 'staying with non-Thai family', using your marriage certificate as proof.
