they only have a 1 year lease.

Wait and see what it looks like 5.5 years from now.

At this point visas for same sex foreigners is not common.

By then it should be.

@Andy *********

no,

non-o can be many things: retired, dependant, guardian, custodian, etc. and including married to Thai.

I think you have miss reading the post.

They are here on tourist stamp, not any long term visa.

90 day reports do not apply in any way.

You can likely pay a local agent to do a 30 day tourist extension, 1 time, you may be able to avoid an actual trip in.

For anything past that 30 days.

In all cases, without a local diagnosis from a hospital/doctor and a document explaining the reason you cannot fly, you will not get an emergency medical extension.

You will need a local agent and a fistful of money, to find a possible workaround.

The evisa will route to the embassy you are applying at.

By the rule you are to be in that country to apply.

Technically your child requires a valid visa of their own to remain in Thailand with you.

However there is no enforcement on children until age 15.

So a child can remain in Thailand with parents on overstay without fear of fines or bans.

This will not cause problems with Thai immigration.

The evisa routes to the embassy you are applying at.

So you are dealing with the embassy.

For a standard Thai company.

51% Thai ownership

Minimum 2 million baht capital and

4 Thai employees to get 1 work permit for foreigners.

Some business is Thai reserved.

Your ability to work even in your own business will be limited.

There are agencies that can guide you and for the right money work arounds.

@Brandon ***********

has given you the correct advice.

You may DM me if you like and I will walk you through possible options.

BUT you cannot use income, period.

You will need to use banked funds for whatever your initial visa will be.

However you can also see if the US embassy will still allow a non-o 90 day based on retirement AND a dependant 90 day non-o based on visiting non Thai family.

This way you would only need 800k total for 2 of you.

The US and CANADIAN embassies have allowed this, I don't know about 2025 however.

There are a few ways to do this.
