Hello! I was looking for some advice. I’m a British National and my wife and child are American. We are aiming to move to Thailand by June 2025 and had some queries as to what the ideal visa options would be for my family and I. I am aware that as a single parent of an student enrolled in an International school automatically guarantees visa facilities for a single parent and the child. What would be the options for the other parent? Looking forward to hearing everyone’s opinions. TIA for the assistance.

I’m applying for an education visa for my 15 year old step son (son of my wife). Got an international school lined up.

I’ll be applying for a Non immigrant B work visa and work permit and wife is eligible for a non immigrant O visa as a dependant of mine.

My question is does the 15 year old student require to have a parent on a guardian visa or can my wife be on the non O visa?

The non 0 visa would be a better option for us.

Hi group, new here. What kind of visa would I need for me and my two kids to live in Thailand for a year. I won’t need to work but I’m hoping I could take some cooking classes and a free cooking apprenticeship or something around those lines. Also plan on home schooling but would it be possible to have them in an international school if I have a tourist visa? Lots of questions. Thanks in advance

Parents of students (under 20 years old) who have enrolled for a full-time long-term educational course in Thailand are eligible to apply for Single-Entry Non-Immigrant “O” visa. Required documents are the same as required documents for Non-Immigrant “ED” visa with an addition of Marriage Certificate and Birth Certificate and a proof of additional 500,000 baht (or equivalent) deposit in a bank account per parent.

A civil partnership certificate is not acceptable. This is not applicable in the case of informal courses, e.g. Thai language or cultural training courses. Dependents are not eligible to work in Thailand.

9. Other documents: as may be requested by Consular officers in addition to the documents above.

* All letters must have the letter head of their respective agency/school/institution/company and be signed by authorized persons.

** All copies of the agency/school/institution/company’s documents must be signed by authorized persons and have respective seals/stamps.

We are planning to switch our son from our non-O Retirement extension to a visa from his Intl. school. When we cancel him off the retirement visa, will this affect the visa holder (my husband) or me (another dependent)? We are Americans. I am also wondering if our son needs to leave the country to get the new visa; I haven't gotten many details from the school yet.
