Trying to sanity check my plans- I'm about to retire from the (US) military, planning on moving over to Bangkok and attending university on GI Bill. I know it's no problem to get my own Ed visa through the school, but the school I'm planning on attending is saying they (and others) don't provide sponsorship for family members.

Would my wife and son (14) not be able to accompany me via non-O immigrant visa?

We are planning on enrolling him into one of the international schools, but prob not until we're settled and have things figured out a little better, maybe the second school year in country- so getting him an Ed visa and putting my wife on as the caretaker doesn't help.

DTV for wife, with son as dependent? Is that a viable plan?

I am looking to talk with a visa agent for some clarification/advice.

I would get my own DTV, but I *want* to attend university, and it's my understanding that the schools will push me onto their own Ed visa.

Thank you

Can anyone advise please?

So my wife (Thai) and I have been married for 25 years this year. We've lived in the UK for most of those years, but now looking to retire to Thailand in 2 years when our son finishes uni.

Our son is 19 and holds a British passport. He was born in the UK. Would he be able to move with us and claim Thai citizenship without messing around with visas?

My concern is the whole national service thing. We didn't register him as eligible for national service as we live in the UK and at the time we had no intention of moving back to Thailand. It would be good if my son has the option of moving with us, even if it's only for a year or two.

Would this be an issue? Cheers

My elderly aunt in the states has been thinking of moving in with us in Thailand, but it is looking like she might just need care back in the states. Does anyone know if my wife going as a temporary care giver is something attainable? I feel like I've heard things suggesting yes and no.

Hello, hope everyone is well🤗 First of, my apologies if the same question has been asked before.

I will give birth in Phuket very soon and as far as I can understand (CMIIW) with a Thai birth certificate my child can stay here without a visa until he's 15? (again CMIIW pls). my question would be if there's any guardian or medical visa that I can get to stay longer because I’m now on exempt entry visa from border bounce and I believe I could make extension for another 30 days but it would be best for me to stay with my newborn at all times so I’m looking for a longer stay permit.

PS: me and my partner are both foreigners and not married yet so I cannot piggyback on his work visa😅

Thanks in advance🙏🏽

Re-entry permit question: do all parties have to be present for the re-entry permit application, or can 1 family representative go on behalf of wife/kids with all the passports/applications?

Hi, clarification on 90 days reporting, I would like to mention that looked through previous posts and I could not find an answer.

Tomorrow my self and my husband are going to the immigration Division ( Chang Watthana) to process our first 90 days report. Can someone please clarify if the kids also need to be present? Many Thanks

Hello.

I am Thai and my husband is foreigner. He has company in Thailand. He can come under non o and I can apply work permit for him here. But he would like to bring his mother age over 50 years old. Is she able to apply non o dependant visa following person who work in Thailand not retirement visa.

Best regards.

Hello everyone. I am coming with my family (wife and two toddlers) from Canada near the end of September. I have documents in order to secure single entry Non-O for a volunteer position and then the rest of family come in as dependants. Unfortunately, my wife and kids hold Australian passports and I have been told that it will take 1+ month for their visas to be processed by the embassy in Ottawa. As such, I am considering that we simply ever on 45-day visa exemption or on tourist visas. My questions are:

1. Will it be possible to apply for the Non-O (volunteer) after entering Thailand?

2. Is it is possible to secure the Non-O after arriving in Thailand, does it make a difference whether I enter on a visa exemption or tourist visa?

3. Can people offer their opinions of the likelihood of the continuance of COVID extensions beyond December?

Thank you.

Hello everyone, not sure this is the right group for this but figured I'd give it a shot. I recently married my Thai wife. We are looking to move over to Canada in the next few months and I want to get citizenship for her and our baby on the way. Does anyone here have any recommendations for a good immigration lawyer in Thailand, preferably in Pattaya, but perhaps Bangkok as well, who we can consult with? (I know it's probably best to consult with a Canadian immigration lawyer, but they are super expensive and I wanted to see if I could find someone here in Thailand, first). Thanks!

I am looking to go back to Thailand to see my wife and daughter

I would like any advice on the procedure from the U.K. and how long it takes from start to boarding

I do have the Covid insurance at least that’s a start

Thanks for your help
