Visa option question

[cowbee]

Hi all.

 

My friend. Just come this month and planning to stay for a long time in Thailand, he bring his wife and 2 kids. I suggested to him to use tourist visa each 90 days for him and his wife / kids but travelling to mukdahan / laos is a long journey, his kids only 2 and 3 y/o which is I doubt they can bear 8-10 hours sitting.

 

Is there any visa option? What about working permit? Does his wife need a working permit too? What about their kids? Or only the husband apply working permit and his wife / kids attached to him? What is the requirements?

 

Thanks

Staying on tourist visas is only a short term option for him and his wife. Since the children are under the age of 15 they are not fined for an overstay or being banned from the country.

If he was to find work, obtain a work permit and apply for a one year extension of stay based upon working his family could get extensions based upon his for being members of his family.

Thanks for your reply.

His wife does not one to stay here. A work permit does not allow a person to stay in the country. Only a visa or extension of stay allows a person to stay in the country.

They would first need single entry non-o visa to apply for the extension. Legalized marriage and birth certificates would be needed to apply for the visa and extension of stay.
