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”?
longer likely but we never had a plan aside from leaving and hopping around till we landed.
Initially a long time back, when we first started planning to do this we were going to travel all around SE Asia. But, given the current situation, I don’t know. We may need to just take it as it comes
