Changes to 'dependant visas'.

[jabenna]

Hello. My partner has a non-imm B visa and work permit. Previously, I know that we were unable to get a dependant visa for me, even though we are married in our home country.

 

However, in the latest police commission document, just released on the main forum, I was reading:

 

ORDER OF THE IMMIGRATION BUREAU

No. 327/2557

Point 2.11

(1) The alien must have been granted a non­immigrant visa (NON­IM).

(2) The alien must have proof of relationship.

(3) In the case of spouse, the relationship must be de jure and de facto...

 

There's no specific point saying it has to be a male/female spousal relationship. Is this document now allowing m-m and f-f expat partners to get a dependant visa based on their partner's non-imm B visa?

 

Thanks, JB.

Clearly de facto your marriage is, however in Thailand where there is no same sex marriage recognized in law,  it would not be de jure or in law. In your home country  it is legal or de jure.

Hi ProThaiExpat. Ahhh thanks for clarification. I thought there was a glimmer of hope... but no.

 

Thanks though :-)
