Will dependents be allowed for volunteer visas in Thailand?

My foundation got dependent spouse and child follower 2 weeks ago.

Volunteer Visas as a whole are nearly impossible to get now.

The exception seems to be in the religious sector as it seems to be business as usual.

Only very established and vetted volunteer programs are being successful.

The "I Volunteer in Chonburi and live in Phuket" Visa are done (for now anyway).

Dependant visas in these situations are extremely difficult or even impossible for some.

As to other Visas w/ agents, there is currently a slow down on the ability to get things done.

IF an applicant qualifies without any "fixing" needed , there is no problem to obtain a visa or extension by an agent or by simply doing it themselves.

To use a North American term,

There is "heat" on right now.

It’s true! It’s caused some big headaches for our visas. We had the law change the day before we applied back in September.

We have a teammate who miraculously got his wife and three kids on as dependents in October. It was from the DC embassy in the States via online. Best of luck!

They've pretty much stopped volunteer visas altogether. Easily the most abused type of visa there is. A big crackdown on both volunteer and education visas the last few months. It wouldn't surprise me at all if this is true.
