Writing for a friend:

 

- Swiss national living in Thailand with a non O visa based on retirement.

 

- his wife is Indonesian, currently living in Indonesia. She used to stay here for a year with visa exempts and border runs. She almost wasn't allowed back in last time so decided to return to Indonesia. It's been almost 3 months. She is below 50 years old.

 

- They have 2 Children studying in Thailand.

 

How should my friend proceed to bring his wife back?

 

Can she be dependent of his retirement visa? What documents would she need?

 

I know she can also apply for parent of child studying here. She required to have I think 4-500k in an account for a month.

 

What would you gentlemen advise him to do? Try to do one of these 2 visas from Thai embassy in Jakarta?

 

Or try to come back tp Thailand with a visa exempt or tourist visa and apply for a long term extension here? Is it even possible? 

 

Sorry for all the messy questions 555, if more details needed, please ask.

 

Thank you all for reading.

Word to the wise. We have enough troubles of our own (visa-wise)

Dragging a foreign wife along ,doubles your problems..

Kids too? ????????????????

My wife is Lao and lives here as my dependant.  His Indonesian wife will need a non-O visa (as @DrJack54has explained) from a Thai Embassy.  Another factor to consider when getting her added as his dependant, is he'll need a legalised/certified copy of the marriage certificate (unless they married in Thailand).

I would like to think of myself as 'wise'.

Carrying dead weight around in foreign (and hostile) lands not the brightest idea.

she can be his dependant or can get visa as the tutor of one of the kids if studying in Thailand - the school will need to prepare some paperwork. Suggest him to get in touch with an Agency example Ernst and Young they will take care about her. I think she will need to contact Thai embassy in ID to get non-O visa then transformed into resident visa. Agency will tell him.

I do know that the Thai Embassy in Jakarta have some very helpful people aboard.

They have assisted me on numerous occasions with a genuine desire to help.
