We are a family of three from NZ, we have two businesses there that we own and can run them remotely.

Currently in Thailand (dont wanna go home) and ideally would like to apply in SE Asia as the NZ embassy charges 42,000 baht per person!

Plus we would need to all get back there too which would cost a similar figure each.

Has anyone applied as a family with dependents / spouse and what financials did they ask you , as we do not keep 1.5 million baht liquid but can show regular income well above requirements?

Via business profit and loss and similar.

Interested to hear others experience in similar situations.

Hey everyone 👋

Im a US citizen, currently in Indonesia. I accepted a job offer in Bangkok, I will come to Thailand in a couple days

My question is in regards to spouse visas. My spouse is Indonesian, I've asked my employer and the embassy and searched online but still havent found anything concrete

If I have a job in Thailand, and they provide me a visa and work permit, am I then able to apply for a spouse visa for my Indonesian wife (she isnt working)?

Thanks for any info 🤝

Question: about the Thai Consulate in Vientiane , Laos.

Has anyone had problems there processing a follower/dependents' (for children or spouse) visa on their volunteer visa application?

My friends are heading there but were told that there might be a problem with this particular embassy which doesn't approve or provide the service for family/follower visas?

Q: With a Non OA retirement visa I appreciate the 800,000 Bht being held in a bank account for a single retiree. However, if one was to retire with 2x dependents (1x partner & 1x school age child), what would the required total to be held in the bank? Thanks in advance ......

Hello. I live in Thailand, and my Son was at university overseas until a medical diagnosis meant he had to leave. It is a chronic disease which he undertakes specialist treatment for every 8 weeks, with frequent operations. Unfortunately, he was denied a medical visa as he was not inpatient, and as he is over 18, not classed as my dependent. We have therefore been flying him between in laws elsewhere in Asia and Thailand. This time, though, his next operation has been delayed and he is already in country on a 30 day entry stamp (not a tourist visa). His operation date will take him over the 30 day. Do we need to get him in and out again, or can he extend? We previously tried but were refused in Rayong, but other forums seem to suggest he should be able?

TIA and apologies for the long post.

Been reading through more of the posts in this group, May I say you lot are amazing, sound advice (ok, sometimes misguided) usually in a polite way

Someone earlier asked about the 5yr elite visa and the responses you gave were very interesting, the elite visa was going to be our ticket to Thailand but a lot of you on here have kinda suggested it might not be the best way for us

So, May I ask which visa you would recommend based on the below requirements

We will be retirees

We do not want to have to have private medical insurance (we will be self insuring ourselves)

We want to be able to leave Thailand whenever we want and return whenever we want (purely to visit our children in Australia and New Zealand)

Putting a quantity of cash into an leaving it in a Thai Bank is absolutely fine

We will both be over 55

As little admin/ paperwork/ reporting as possible

Thank you as always for views

Hi, does anyone know the required documents for non-o visa? I have non-b visa and work permit, and want to make a visa for my mom (Ukrainian nationality). Immigration in Sriracha said they don't know what document I need😅

How does it work if a couple is in Thailand and one of the two of them has a longer visa than the other. For example;

If a guy has an education visa and his wife doesn’t. Is the wife allowed to stay as well?

What about a child?

Or an even more obscure scenario;

What if a couple visit Thailand and decide to get married while they are there. Then one of them gets a job and a visa to work. How is the partner affected?

Hi everyone, am in UK since July would love to get back for my daughters 21st on Xmas eve, only have photo copies of birth certificate, are there any brokers in UK who can help with processing my return

Thank you for the acceptance in the group 😊 Hope everyone is ok despite the circumstances. Requesting some info... my wife is going to Thailand on a ED Visa, can I ask for a Dependents Visa, or O visa for me and our 3 yrs old son? Or do we need to apply for ED visas for each one of us? Thanks
