Background: me (Russian nationality), my wife (Filipina), her sister and our infant child are going to stay in Thailand for long time and considering visa opportunities.

As the most simple way I considering Non-ED visa for at least my wife (anyway she is going to study Thai language) plus Non-O based on it for other family members.

1. Is that possible?

2. What kind of relationships should be base for getting Non-O visa based on Non-ED holder?

3. How this relationships should be proven in our scenario?

4. What are other requirements for Non-O visas (we are going to get them in Vientiane, AFAIK there are most farang-friendly Thai embassy)?

 

Any additional information on Non-O visas based on other foreigner visa will be appreciated as I only dealt with Non-O visa based on Thai wife before. Failed to find any information by myself

Once your wife has her non-ed visa and then an extension of stay you and your child could get dependent extensions. Her sister would not qualify for one.

You and your child should be able to get the non-o visas when your wife applies for the non-ed visa. You will need your marriage certificate and your child's birth certificate.

 

Sounds good.

These certificates was issued in Philippines. Should they be translated and/or legalized here in Thailand? If yes, where we can legalize them (if possible would be better to avoid traveling to Bangkok as we stay in Chiang Mai)?

If they are in English they would not need to be translated. If not they would need to be translated to Thai and the translation certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 

They would need to be legalized by the Philippine embassy.

Thanks.

They are in English as it is official language in Philippines.
