Hi, looking for advice please. We are a family looking to move over to thailand. The plan is for my husband to still work in the UK, possibly 6 weeks on, 6 weeks off. Any advice for best visas please? 🙏
I am working in a reputed company as head of the dept. My contract is valid till 31 May and visa ending on 04 June 2025. Recently I moved my family to Thailand on Non O, 3 months visa which is ending on 07th April. Now to get the extension I need documents from the company which they are denying as we have mutually agreed to part ways after 31st May. I have tried to change the visa from Non O to Non ED via school where I have enrolled my kids but they are saying immigration cannot transfer Non O to Non ED without exiting the country and coming back either on tourist visa which is not feasible due to the high cost.
What are my legal options? I m still the employee till 31st May and cannot get the new job before that so I cannot sponsor my family which is a bit stressful. Isn't it against the basic human rights?
We are a family of five who plan to relocate to Chiang Mai in the near future. I will be applying for a volunteer visa, while my two older daughters will be applying for student visas as they will be attending schools there. I have a couple of questions:
1. My youngest child is 15 months old and cannot apply for a dependent visa under my volunteer visa, as it does not allow for any dependents. What should I do in this situation?
2. My husband is eligible to apply for a dependent visa based on my two older daughters' student visas. However, should he apply for an ED visa in order to obtain a proper dependent visa for our 15-month-old baby under his name? I heard from someone tonight that even if my husband gets an ED visa, our baby may still not be eligible for a dependent visa. Is this true?
Hi, We are a family from Norway with 2 small kids (2 and 4) looking to move to Thailand in the next months. What is the best way to get a visa for all family and life there for 1 or 2 years. I'm a product designer (45) working in remote and my wife (42) is pensionist.
I am a US Passport holder - This is my visa path for me and my family. I’m looking to confirm if I understand this correctly as far as extensions, etc.
-Enter from US on 30 Day Exempt + 30 Day Extension
-Then apply for 60-Day Tourist Visa then extend for 30 Days
- Border Run to Vietnam for a week- come back on another 60 day tourist visa + extend for 30 days
-Then apply for 1yr student visa.
-After 1yr Student visa, leave to KL for 1 week then enter on US visa 30 day exempt and start the process back all over again if we decide to stay….
Hi can anyone advise me please as to how I would get 9 months stay with a METV visa? Also how would this work with my partner and my daughter (2 years old) and would we be eligible for a 1 or 2 year education visa afterwards? If the METV visa involves going in and out of the country i’d rather avoid it so as not to have to move my daughter around too much. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as we’d like to be in Thailand for a couple of years from February.
I am currently holding a visa OB with working permit.
There is a risk that my employer stops it’s activities in Thailand in august. Should that happen I want to stay with my family in Thailand under a “retiree visa”.
Hello all, we are seeking to move to Thailand next year and exploring visa options. We will have two international students (our oldest children) and husband and I would come under the guardian visa. My question is what options might be available to get our two youngest kids into Thailand being that we would continue homeschooling them.
