Hey all, 

 

We have a 15-year old son and are studying in Chiang Mai on an education visa for a year. We're having trouble figuring out the requirements and logistics for a dependent visa for our son. Could anyone point me in the right direction, with a list of requirements and cost? I assume there is an up-front application fee and then regular extension fees at immigration. 

 

Thanks so much for help. 

Who is actually doing the studying? Who has the Ed Visa?

What are the nationalities?

We do, as the parents. He will not be joining us in class. 

2.11 In the case of being a family member of an alien who has been permitted a temporary stay in the Kingdom for study in an educational institution according to Clauses 2.8 or 2.9 hereof (applicable only to parents, spouse, children, adopted children, or spouse’s children):  Each permission shall be granted for no more than one year.    (1) The alien must have been granted a non-immigrant visa (NON-IM).  (2) The alien must have proof of relationship.  (3) In the case of spouse, the relationship must be de jure and de facto: or  (4) In the case of children, adopted children, or spouse's children, said children, adopted children, and spouse's children must not be married, must live with the alien as part of the family, and must not be over 20 years of age: or  (5) In the case of parents, funds must be deposited in a bank in Thailand, under the father's or the mother's name, of no less than Baht 500,000 for the past three months.

Thanks. 

 

So as the parents, we need to demonstrate that we have 500,000 baht in a Thai bank account to get the dependent visa? Just want to make sure I understand.

Not if you are the ones attending school.

Only 1 to 4 apply in that case.
