TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is in Thailand awaiting a retirement visa and inquires about the appropriate visa for their 9-year-old daughter. Responses indicate that once the retirement visa is granted, the daughter can apply for a Non-O dependent visa. If she is outside Thailand, she would need an O visa as a dependent, which can be converted to an extension in Thailand.
NON-O RETIREMENT VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES
  • Go to the Retirement Visa Section for information on requirements, including age restrictions, financial requirements, and necessary documentation.
  • For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.
  • Explore recent discussions by using the Non-O Retirement Visa tag in the search box at the top of the page.
  • Join the Thai Visa Advice Facebook Group to ask your questions, and get advice from others.

You can get her Non-O dependent to a foreigner who is living in Thailand legally when you are on a 1-year extension following your initial in-country visa. Wait to get your 1-year extension, then she needs to go to a neighboring country to apply for Non-O based on a dependent to a retirement extension holder. For her, check the right column of the attachment. (it's written as a spouse, but the same for minor children)

Or, if she is going to school, she may be able to get her own Non-ED visa.

If she's outside Thailand she needs an O visa as your dependent. This can then be converted to an Extension in Thailand.

 then Good Luck .

She will have to leave Thailand and get a Non O visa to enter... ask your Thai immigration office for their requirements for the extension of her Non O Visa as dependent of yours

Please confirm that you will be applying for a retirement visa for Thailand..... ??

AND that your 9 year old daughter will be living with you in Thailand... ??

And can I assume your daughter is NOT Thai and will be going to School in Thailand ??

Thank You
