Will switching my son's visa from a non-O Retirement extension to a school visa affect my husband or I as dependents?

NON-O Visa Visa Change Dependent Visa International School Visa Visa Rules Thailand

Sep 7, 2019

7 years ago

ORIGINAL POSTER

We are planning to switch our son from our non-O Retirement extension to a visa from his Intl. school. When we cancel him off the retirement visa, will this affect the visa holder (my husband) or me (another dependent)? We are Americans. I am also wondering if our son needs to leave the country to get the new visa; I haven't gotten many details from the school yet.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The family is considering changing their son's visa from a non-O Retirement extension to a visa from his international school. They are unsure if this change will impact the visa status of the parents and if their son needs to leave Thailand to obtain the new visa.

You all have Extensions of Stay, big stamps from the immigration office. You have to ask the school and Immigration if it is possible to change the reason for your son, Extension of Stay based on being a dependent of his father into based on study in Thailand. It does not effect the Extensions of Stay from the parents.
