Retired Non-O with Wife and Child

[Nert]

Can the under 50 year old wife and 3 year old son apply for Non-O Dependent Visas to accompany a Retired Non-O?

I ask because there are TWO NON-O Visas that seem to apply.

 

One is called FOR PROVIDING SUPPORT TO OR BEING A DEPENDANT OF A PERSON WHO HAVING RESIDENCY IN THAILAND (NON-O)

And seems to require a work permit:

Quote

In case the applicant’s family is a foreigner with a permit to reside in Thailand:

residency certificate, alien registration certificate, work permit, a copy of passport and house registration

 

The other is called FOR PROVIDING SUPPORT TO OR BEING A DEPENDANT OF A THAI CITIZEN (SPOUSE VISA) (NON-O) OR PERSON HAVING RESIDENCY IN THAILAND... a two pager that doesn't have a work permit requirement but does have an income/saving requirement (40k/400k).

 

It seems as a Retired Non-O, the second one applies and the wife needs to have a bank account with 400k THB in her name from a foreign account in her name. (Or 40k THB monthly income stream).

 

Am I reading that right?

How about the 3 year old son?

Anyone have recent experience with this kind of visa?

Wrong.

 

Married to a Thai; You need 400 k or an income of 45.000-- per year.

Thanks. My wife and son are both foreigners, like me. 

What does "Married to Thai" mean? The visa is only for people married to a Thai?

Non O based on marriage to a Thai has nothing to do with your situation.

What you are asking about is non Thai wife piggyback on your Extensions from a Non O based on retirement.

If e-Visa provides option for her to obtain Non O as a dependent then that's a possibility.

She needs to obtain the Non O outside of Thailand. 

Put child aside for the moment.

 

I read your other threads. Are you now on birth certificate? 

Have you considered DTV . 

That provides for non Thai spouse.

Thank you!

I'm trying to find out if a Non O e-Visa is offered from her consulate.

Yes, I'm on his birth certificate.

Haven't considered a DTV. I'll take a look. 

TIA

No. We're in China. Have a trip to Chiangmai in May to look around for a rental.

Looking at DTV, not sure I qualify. I'm a retired dad.

I had a OA until China opened up. I let it lapse to be with my family using my Chinese tourist visa.

Now my Chinese tourist visa is set to expire.

I was thinking I'd be able to do a Retirement Non O and have them piggyback. Traveling back to apply is not a problem.
