Faeton Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Hello everyone! Tell me, please, to receiving this kind of visa, there are conditions to show 500k on the account for at least 30 days Is it necessary to keep this money in Thai bank account? Or will be enough to provide official certificate from your Embassy which confirming availability of this amount on your other accounts not in Thai banks.(this method works fine with a pension visa, but i dont find about Non-o (guardian) visa.). Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 There is no general rule used by all Thai consulates. You should enquire from the consulate where you plan to apply for your visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elviajero Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 There is no “guardian” visa. You can get a visa/permit to stay as the parent of a Thai. Are you asking about a ‘visa’ to enter the country or an ‘extension of stay’ having already entered the country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what you are asking about. As said a guardian visa does not exist. The 500k baht in a Thai bank for 30 days is for the first extension of stay based upon being the parent of the child that is on an extension based upon attending school. Immigration will only accept the 500k baht being in a Thai bank. To get a single entry non-o visa at an embassy or consulate needed to apply for the extension there should be no requirement to show financial proof.

If you can show reasonable proof that you are supporting and caring for a thai child ,you can get a parent visa. Parent in thai can mean grandmother or uncle, or friend which basically means the guardian of the child. Government schools have a seperate section for parent, under the section mother, father. But I suspect you need to be on the same house registration book as the child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only mention parents (mother or father), spouses and children. In this case it is for being the parent of a foreign child attending school. A parent would not be a guardian.

Not true. The type of visa/extension of stay being discussed has nothing to do with "supporting or caring" for a Thai child. They are granted based on relationship, and you will not get either based on being a parent unless you have proof of that relationship. They do not accept "reasonable proof". In the case of a parent wanting an extension of stay they need to provide definitive proof of their legal relationship (parenthood). 1 hour ago, greenchair said: Parent in thai can mean grandmother or uncle, or friend which basically means the guardian of the child. Parent in Thai means parent. Nothing else. To be a "guardian" means being granted legal responsibility for a child. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am listed as the parent and it has a side note to specify the relationship of that. In the leaving document of g6 to M1, I am also listed as the parent and mother and father are not mentioned. That's because his house registration is with my name and house. The visa I was referring to is the caring for a thai child version. I understand the op was asking about a guardian visa. But I am wondering if he is referring to the caring for a thai child, so I mentioned that possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenchair Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 By the way the definition of parent even in English states grandparent, stepparent, adoptive parent, so the visa is called a parent visa anyone in the above category showing difinitive proof that they are a parent are entitled. Proof would be the same house registration. Evidence of school fees in your name, medical and dental receipts of the child in your name. Evidence of the income used to support the child. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All irrelevant in terms of visas/permits and a foreigner wanting permission to enter/stay in the country to visit their child. 5 hours ago, greenchair said: The visa I was referring to is the caring for a thai child version. Again, there is no such visa or extension of stay available to 'care' for a Thai child. Parents can apply to visit/stay with their child regardless of who 'cares' for the child or financially supports the child. The visa/permit is granted based solely on relationship. In order for a 'parent' to get a 1 year extension of stay to visit their child they must be the legal parent. A grandparent or anyone else that cares for the child would not qualify unless they had legally been granted parental rights. 5 hours ago, greenchair said: By the way the definition of parent even in English states grandparent, stepparent, adoptive parent, so the visa is called a parent visa anyone in the above category showing difinitive proof that they are a parent are entitled. Not sure what dictionary you got that from, but a 'grandparent' is a grandparent and not a parent! 5 hours ago, greenchair said: Proof would be the same house registration.

Again, it doesn't matter who cares for, or financially supports, the child, a visa/extension of stay will only be issued to the parent. It's the relationship that counts, and the ability of the foreign parent to be able to fund their 1 year stay. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you check the required documents for them you will see that the proof of relationship is a child's birth certificate which must show the person making the application is mother or father of the child.
