Non immigrant O for my mother in law

[yosh1978]

Hi, I am working in Thailand under official visa, ( section 15 ) .

I am Japanese, my husband is Canadian-Iranian, his mother Iranian.

I applied for my mother in law for Non-O visa and she got Non-o 90days visa back in Iran.

I would like to extend this visa to 1 year while she is here.

I went to Iranian embassy to certify me and my husband are married and my mother in law is the mother of my husband.

Here is the question, this letter is written in English, it should be translated to Thai?

I have other document ready but only this certificate is the issue.

I was trying to call Immigration so many times yesterday but they just give different phone number to me and never solve the problem.

Please let me know if anybody know the situation. Thank you very much.

Immigration will accept documents in English, But your mother in law does not qualify for a dependent extension of stay. Only your parents can qualify for one since you are the one with an extension of stay. If your husband had one other than one as your dependent she could apply for one.

From police order 327/2557

"2.20 In the case of being a family member of an alien permitted a

temporary stay in the Kingdom under Criteria 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.5, 2.6,

2.7, 2.10, 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 2.16,

2.17, 2.21, 2.22, 2.26, or 2.29 hereof or Section 34(1) (2) and (7) including family of alien granted non-immigration visa which contains “A” letter at the end of visa code, (applicable only to parents, spouse, children, adopted children, or spouse’s children) except for Non-Immigrant code L-A:

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) 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, or 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 except in case of the person hereof is of illness or disability and cannot live without support of father or mother: or

(5) In the case of parents, the father or mother must be 50 years of age or over."

 

Edit: I may need to stand corrected after checking section 15 of the immigration act. Your case may be an exception if she qualifies under paragraph 6.

"6. Spouses or children under patronage or being a part of the allow household of persons under

paragraph ( 1 ) , ( 2 ) , ( 3 ) , ( 4 ) or ( 5 )"

Thank you very much for the comment. My husband is dependent of mine, because I am the one working under the government and all my family including my husband are under official visa. Government says my mother in law will be able to extend 1 year, but the problem is I have 2 passports which is Iranian and Japanese, I am staying in Thailand with Japanese official passport. But Iranian embassy can prove my mother in law and my relationship only refer to my Iranian passport, then I have no idea what I should do. Japanese embassy can not prove our relationship because my mother in law has no paper related to Japanese paper.

Anyway, I think I should just visit Chang wattana and ask directly.....

Thank you very much again.

Normally all that would be required would be your husbands birth certificate that needs to be certified to prove she is his mother. Was he born in Iran of Canada?

Your marriage certificate may also be needed for the application.

Thank you again. My husband was born in Iran, and somehow, Iranian government gives all the spouse of Iranian original people birth certificate, so I myself have birth certificate( although I was born in Japan! ), we brought my birth certificate , my husband'S, and my mother in law's. Embassy of Iran already gave us certificate which is written My husband and I were married 2005 in Japan, and my mother in law is a mother of my husband. Which includes my name and all of us, in English. I wonder if I should translate this paper to Thai and get the stamp from there? Because other document which I have received from the Japanese government are also all English but they don't say I have to translate them in Thai....

[ubonjoe]

There should be no reason for them to be translated to English. If were not dealing with the Chaeng Wattana office I would say it might help to have them translated.

Ok, thank you so much!

Hello,

I'm being transferred from Brazil to Thailand with Non-B Visa, my wife two kids and my mother in law are coming with me. In case of my mother in law she's coming with Non-O visa, today she's my dependent due her age (70) and health cares, how can I prove that she's my dependent to avoid travel each 90 days abroad? 

 

(4) In the case of children, adopted children, or spouse’s children, said children, adopted children, or 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 except in case of the person hereof is of illness or disability and cannot live without support of father or mother:

You quoted the requirements for children to get the extensions.

Only your parents can qualify for the extension.
