If you’re married to a Thai national, or you’re the parent or guardian of a Thai child, you may qualify for a visa based on that family tie rather than on business or retirement grounds. We help you apply for the visa itself and then keep the yearly extension cycle running smoothly afterwards.
Family-based visas lean heavily on documentation — marriage or birth certificates, proof of the relationship, financial evidence and more, often needing certified translation and legalisation before Thai authorities will accept them. We take that administrative weight off your shoulders.
How it works
- We review your situation. Tell us about your family tie — marriage to a Thai spouse, or your relationship to a Thai child — and we explain honestly what’s realistic and what the process involves.
- Document collection. We tell you exactly which documents you need and help you gather them, including anything that has to come from your home country.
- Translation and legalisation. Where certificates or other documents need certified translation or legalisation, we coordinate that for you.
- Immigration appointment. We prepare your application and accompany you to the immigration office for submission.
- Yearly extension cycle. Once your visa is granted, we support you through the annual extension and the required 90-day reporting, so you don’t have to track the dates yourself.

Good to know
Requirements for family-based visas — proof of funds, cohabitation evidence and reporting rules — change periodically and depend on your exact situation. We check the current requirements against your case before we start, rather than assuming last year’s rules still apply.
Whether you’re newly married in Thailand, already hold a family visa and need help with this year’s extension, or you’re simply not sure your situation qualifies, contact us and we’ll go through it together.
