My wife and I enrolled in a language school in Chiang Mai, the school applied to the Ministry of Education for us and our documents arrived 45 days later. Now they will apply to the immigration office for an education visa and our visas will be issued in 21 days, but we have a 4-year-old daughter and we will apply for a dependent visa for her, the immigration office said that they will give our daughter a dependent visa during the first extension (i.e. during the first 90-day report after receiving the education visas). The school says that after my wife and I receive our visas, we have to go abroad and come back again for our daughter, there must be a mistake here, can't the 4-year-old child apply at the same time as us and get a dependent visa? Since she cannot act independently of us, how will she go abroad and come back? If If we wait for our first visa extension, this time our daughter will have to stay in the country illegally. In this case (if she remains illegal), they say she will not be able to get a dependent visa. Please help.

My wife and I are US citizens in Chiang Mai. We have been on Non-OA retirement visas extensions. The most recent time was applying from the US, getting multiple entry e-visas for each of us. Extensions will expire February 12, 2024.

Now we want to renew-extend.

How can my wife can come under me as dependent instead of each of us having to supply the financial requirements for two different individuals.?

I'm also wondering how to notarize income by the US consulate. I read they have stopped this. In the past we would show our finances in US Banks with the consulate affidavit.

Do I have to do the 800,000 baht deposit for each person?

Right now I have the Thai bank account because in the past, I was the main person and my wife was the dependent.

This would require my wife opening her own bank account?

Just wondering how to conduct this in the simplest way.

Thanks very much .

Hi everyone I can't find the answer in any previous posts.

My question is what documents do I need from my landlord to be able to self register for the TM30?

I am in Chiang Mai.

My landlord is an old lady and has never rented to foreigners before.

Thank you

Visa question!!

I am moving to Chiang Mai from the states at end of May and when I be staying for 6-9 months. I am currently teaching English online but am possibly wanting to teach English in a classroom in Thailand. I’m honestly so confused as to which visa I should apply for. I’ve been told to apply for a multiple entry tourist visa but I can’t find any information on the internet about it.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you

I recently sent documentation to the British Embassy, Bangkok, requesting the "proof of income" letter, to support the extention of stay for my existing visa.

The website said, with the correct paperwork, the letter would be issued within 10 working days. I received it within 6.

To Chiang Mai Buddy for scanning my documents, to the British Embassy for their excellent service, and to the people on this group who gave me really good information, thank you all so much.
