Who the Non-Immigrant O visa is for
The family category of the Non-Immigrant O visa is for people joining a Thai spouse, a Thai child or parent, or family members who hold long-term permission in Thailand. Once in Thailand, it can usually be extended for longer stays.
Documents for a Thailand family visa
You'll usually need your marriage or birth certificate showing the relationship, your family member's Thai ID or passport, and proof of funds. Certificates issued in the UK often need legalising, which we can arrange.
