Hello all,

I have applied for a Non-O (volunteer) visa and have also applied for a Non-O for my wife (as a dependant on my visa as was confirmed with embassy). Do you believe it is necessary to secure Non-O dependant visas for my 3 year old and 1 year old? In the past, friends with kids did not get visas for their kids as young children were not penalised for over-stays. I have been out of Thailand for 18-months now so this might have changed.

The reason that I am asking about whether to get them visas is because of processing time (my kids are on Australian passports and we are applying in Canada), not cost. Thanks.
