The father is an EU member national, and his daughter holds dual nationality (Thai/EU nationality). If applying for the NON O guardian visa based on a Thai child is not an option, the alternative would be the NON O guardian visa based on a non Thai child, that is, through her ED visa as a student at an international school, with the father attached to her visa as her guardian.

My question is: would the father be eligible to pursue this second option?

For instance, by submitting the child’s EU birth certificate and her EU passport at the local immigration for the extension?

Please note, I am not seeking advice on the first option (guardian of a Thai child), so I kindly ask that responses focus solely on the alternative route.

Additional context:

• The child is 10 years old

• She was born in Thailand

• She holds both Thai and EU passports

I do bear in mind that, different immigration offices exercise discretion differently.

Thank you in advance for your input and for sharing any similar experiences.

Kids age 4 and 7 came to Thailand on 20/5 on Brazilian passports visa exempt until 17/8. Now looking to switch into student visa inside Thailand. I understand that parents don't need to have 500k in Thai bank account as it's not considered an extension of a student visa? What is the financial requirement if any? And is it going to be met by providing a foreign banking account statement in foreign currency?

Dear Sirs and Madames

I have been living in Thailand for over 10 years and today I am reading a Guardian Visa for the first time.

I have 2 sons in Thailand 5 + 6 years old.

Both have German and Thai passports. The 6 year old is coming to the government school in Koh Samui in June. For the past 3 years he has been in a Thai kindergarten. The 6 year old lives with me permanently.

For the past 10 years I have always had a Non Immigrant O-A Visa. A lot of paperwork every year and 800,000 baht on my Thai account. Do I also need so many papers for the Guardian Visa? Does that only apply for 1 year?

What is the Advantage from a Guardian Visa?
