Okay, so since Richard spent all his time and efforts not answering any part of my question,
to clarify;
The spouse and/or child of a person on a work visa is potentially eligible for a non-o visa but a spouse and/or child of someone on a education visa is not eligible?
Is that correct?
Garret suggested that a spouse/child would be eligible in either case but then Richard suggested above that one or the other was not possible
the reason I asked is because section three of the non-o guidelines reads;
3. A person who provide or receive support from the person whose nationality is Thai or the alien who has been granted and has taken up permanent residence in Thailand as the parents, spouse or child under patronage and being a part of the household of the said person.
The way that is worded would suggest that a girlfriend/boyfriend would qualify if they were dependent on the person working/studying in Thailand.
would a non-o visa be applicable for both cases, the spouse and/or the child?
Also, would a “partner” possibly qualify for a non-o visa if their “partner” is on a business or education visa but they are not legally married in their native country?
Ie. In the case of what much of the western world would call “common law spouse”?
