Quick query for Non-O dependent spouse visa

[mankindmatt5]

Hello all

 

This is just a quick question about a Non-O visa for a foreign spouse visa. Just to confirm, we are both foreigners, there is no Thai spouse. 

I am currently in Thailand on a Non-B, with work permit and extension being processed and stamped in my passport next week.

My wife is accompanying me currently with a simple 60 day visa exemption, which will expire in January.

We would like to get her the Non-O dependent spouse visa, ASAP

As far as I can see, this means preparing documents like my work permit, passport stamps and company information, alongside a copy of our marriage certificate, plus the usual other requirements like photos, TM30, application form and so on.

I just need to know if there are any other documents required for this?

Also, is it necessary to apply for this visa outside of Thailand? Or can it be done whilst here on a visa exemption? 

In addition to that, it seems worth asking whether she will have to return to our home country to apply, or whether it can be processed in a neighboring country like Laos or Vietnam?

 

We are in Chiang Mai, and have used the Chiang Mai Immigration Office for the Non B Extension, if that makes any difference.

Thanks in advance for help and input

She would need to enter Thailand on a non O .

The non O retirement or marriage can be obtained from visa exempt entry. 

For dependant spouse she needs to obtain the non O outside of Thailand.

Hi DrJack

Sorry, one more question, just in case you know

I managed to source the list of requirements on the Vientiene Thai Embassy site. Everything is extremely clear, except for a request for 'Appropriate/Sufficient Funds'

Obviously a printed bank statement should be fine for this, but do you have any idea how much they would want to see?

Hopefully it is nothing unreasonable, and doesn't require any seasoning or other faff like with the retirement visas
