Does my 11-year-old child need their own visa if I have a multiple entry visa for Thailand?

Stuart *********

Depends on your child’s passport. If their nationality requires a visa then they need their own to enter Thailand. It’s irrelevant what visa you may hold.

Is the 99-year land lease and 10-year tourist visa proposal in Thailand legitimate or just speculation?

Stuart *********

Media speculation at this point. It may happen. Possibly won’t.

Do I need to file a new TM30 every time I return to Thailand from international travel?

Stuart *********

Phuket requires a new TM30 filed even if you stay one night in a hotel or hospital in country (as well as every time you return to Thailand). They do at least have the drive up window so it doesn’t take too long in most cases.

Do I need to reapply for my retirement visa after renewing my passport in Thailand?

Stuart *********

When you renew your passport you take it and the old one to the immigration office that issued your stamp and ask to transfer it. The process should be free.

Where does that comment come from? The international schools here are top notch. Probably way better than most schools in the US.

Stuart *********

If you have kids in an international school then they can get education visas and you can get guardian visas providing you meet the financial requirement of 500k (each) in a Thai bank.

You can piggyback off their visas (1 parent per child at school) until they finish school at 18.
