Hi, I am needing advice and guidance please.

My daughter is S.A and has been residing and working in Thailand for 2 years.

She is wanting me to go and reside with her. She will be supporting me.

She has been advised that I can apply for a Non Immigrant 0 visa.

1. What documents is required and do I need a Thai Visa.

2. How long is the process

Many thanks

Hi all. New here. Would anyone be willing to share their experiences with applying for a dependency visa. I'm retiring in a couple of months and not sure if I should go for dependency or 'retirement' visa. TIA

So my family and I did things a bit 🤏🏽 backwards but hear me out. We came to Thailand, got an apartment and settled in, now we are about to head to Vietnam to apply for the DTV. We are going for the Muay Thai/soft power DTV, and we have all the requirements checked off, however, I’d like to clarify the applying process. So my spouse is going to apply first and then myself and our son will apply after they get their DTV confirmation, correct? To clarify we can’t all apply at the same time, right?

DEPENDENCY VISA ADVICE

Hi, I hope some of you can help. I have just applied for a dependency following my husband who is a teacher here. I was told to come back to receive my stamp in 3 weeks, once it has been processed.

A few days later the visa assistant who is helping me has said that I may only be a 3 month visa I receive.That I would then have to put through all the same paperwork again to apply for a 1 year visa.

I am just unfamiliar with this. Can anyone tell why this would be?

Asking for a sanity check on my visa plan please?

My wife and I, both on a UK passport, and we both are currently on an ED visa having originally arrived on the visa exempt scheme. As soon as we got our ED Visa, I opened a Thai Bank account, and have been depositing 70,000 Baht per month. The plan is: - once our ED visas expires, we each apply for OA visa in Thailand, I believe this will not require monetary proof at this point? Then when it comes to the extension after 3 months, I will have over 12 months records of bank international deposits, so I will apply for an extension on this basis, and my wife’s extension will be on the basis of “Dependency”.

Does this seem do-able?

Hi i am currently on a dependency visa and what to extend for another year . What are the current requirements. Thanks

After some advice please. I have non O retirement visa with my husband following on a dependency visa. Made an appointment today to renew extensions (due next month) today at our local Immigration office. I was told that because they were very busy my appointment has been made 1 week before my husbands appointment. I was assured this would cause no problems regarding my husbands extension. Is this correct? In the 20 odd years of having these visas we have always renewed our extensions at the same time.

Hi guys anybody knows if the joint account is accepted for retirement Visa?

Basically I do the Visa under my name and my spouse apply for a dependency Visa, do I need to have the bank account only with my name or can it be joint? Thanks🙏

Non-Immigrant O Visa (working foreign spouse) financial requirements?

I am struggling to find official requirements for the “dependency” visa. If anyone can pass on information or a link of where to look it would be really appreciated. Specifically I am trying to find out if there are financial requirements? such as the 400,000 Baht needed for other visas 🤔

Hello expats...

I visited the local immigration in Nakhonratchasima today and ask them about visa for my 2 years old daughter born in Thailand. They said she doesn't need any visa until she reaches to 15 years of age. I asked them again if she travels out of the country and comes back with no visa on passport will the immigration stop her then they reconfirmed and said NO they will not because she is dependent on me and I am working here.

Any expat here has been into this kind of situation?

Thanks in advance
