, Thailand does not have great success with its online services. The eVisa website was developed by one of the big banks. But of course, it won't be a big challenge to develop a such system for the TM6 for a professional software company.

@Todd ********

, at least they should make it an online system with QR-code making it easy for regular travelers..

, do you mean if the minors are not your own? In general, you might need some kind of Power of Attorney from the parents if you are traveling with minors not being your own. It is most likely at the airport in India, they will ask for it. If you as a foreigner are leaving Thailand with a child with Thai citizenship, they will most likely ask for it.

Try contacting the Thai Embassy in India. Unfortunately, the website does not seem to work properly. Usually, the rules for minors are the same as for adults as long as we talk visas on arrival and tourist visas. When talking about long-term visas, the rules for dependants are quite relaxed.

Remember to get a reentry permit before you leave.

Most immigration will like you to make your application about 1 month before expiry, but go early, get the application form and updated list of requirements, and ask when to apply.

@Steve *********

, how recently did you do this bank account opening?

On a Non-O visa, you just need a place to stay and some money (20k THB). Actually unlikely that they will ask to see the money. If it is a single entry Non-O they might want to see a return ticket (or onward ticket). All Covid restrictions have been liftet.

, yes, I guess most find out when they apply for the extension. Then hopefully you did that leaving time enough using a 60-day family extension.

@Stuart ********

, that is exactly what I am asking about. If you only get 60 days on "visit Thai family" then it will not really be possible...
