Dependent of BOI / LTR / SMART Visa

Stay with your family while they work or invest under special high-priority programs.

At SiamConsult, we specialize in the unique "Derivative Visa" requirements for families of BOI, SMART, and LTR Visa holders. These elite categories offer some of the best benefits in the Kingdom, but their dependency links in 2026 require precise digital coordination between the Board of Investment (BOI) and the Immigration Bureau.

2026 Elite Dependency & Compliance:
  • Marriage Equality Integration: Following the 2025/2026 historic shift in Thai law, same-sex spouses are now fully eligible as legal dependents under BOI, SMART, and LTR programs. We manage the apostilled documentation required to confirm your status as a "Spouse" in the digital systems.

  • Financial Thresholds: We ensure you meet the specific 2026 maintenance requirements—such as the 180,000 THB deposit for SMART Visa dependents or the $25,000 USD equivalent for LTR dependents—ensuring funds are correctly "seasoned" in your Thai account.

At SiamConsult, we support your spiritual mission in Krabi, Phuket, and Southern Thailand.

We manage the "Passport Logistics" to ensure your service to your faith is legally secure and uninterrupted.

2026 Student & Dependent Compliance:
  • Accredited Technical Programs: We coordinate with institutions approved by the Ministry of Education (MOE) to ensure your enrollment in IT or Engineering programs is officially recognized for 2026 visa sponsorship.

1. What is a Non-Immigrant O Visa?

Non-Immigrant “O” Visa in Thailand

The Non-Immigrant O Visa is the primary category for foreigners wishing to reside in Thailand for legitimate personal reasons. As of March 2026, this category has become more inclusive yet more technically demanding due to new digital verification systems. It supports marriage (now including same-sex partners), retirement, family dependency, volunteer work, and long-term medical treatment.

In 2026, the process is no longer just about paperwork; it involves Passport Logistics, including mandatory TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) registration and Biometric verification. Our team ensures your financial, legal, and personal documents meet the high-transparency standards currently enforced by Southern Thai Immigration offices.

Whether you are seeking comfort by the sea in Krabi, supporting a Thai child, or contributing to community projects, SiamConsult handles your residency with 16 years of local expertise and care. Our bilingual staff manages every digital portal entry and identity verification via the ThaID App where required, ensuring your stay remains stress-free.

Types of Non-Immigrant O Visas in 2026

  • Marriage Visa: For foreigners legally married to a Thai citizen. Following the 2025 Marriage Equality Act, this now officially includes same-sex spouses with full residency rights.
  • Retirement Visa: For applicants aged 50 and above. We manage the 800,000 THB seasoning audits and 2026 digital insurance checks.
  • Dependent or Family Visa: For spouses or children (under 20) of valid visa holders, including Non-B, LTR, or SMART visa holders.
  • Guardian or Parent of Thai Child: For parents providing for and residing with a Thai child, requiring verified custody and 500,000 THB financial proof.
  • Volunteer or Charity Visa: For service with 2026-audited foundations. Requires a Digital e-Work Permit even for unpaid positions.
  • Medical Treatment Visa: For recovery under a registered medical institution with coordinated hospital-to-immigration digital letters.

Non-O, Non-O-A, and Non-O-X Overview

The Non-Immigrant O family includes three main paths. In 2026, choosing the right one depends heavily on your entry point and long-term insurance needs.

2. How long can I stay in Thailand with a Non-O Visa?

Upon your first entry in 2026, you are initially granted a 90-day stay. This period is designed to allow you to settle in and coordinate with SiamConsult to finalize your long-term extension. Once your supporting documents—such as bank seasoning, marriage certification, or medical records—meet the March 2026 official requirements, your stay can be extended for one full year at your local Immigration Office in Krabi or Phuket.

2026 Extension & Stay Logistics:
  • Annual Renewals: Your one-year extension is renewable indefinitely, provided you continue to meet the financial and relationship criteria of your specific Non-O subtype.
  • Biometric Window: In 2026, the first one-year extension requires a mandatory 12-minute in-person biometric session. We schedule this “Fast-Track” appointment to ensure your stay is updated without technical delays.
  • TDAC Entry: Every time you re-enter Thailand on your Non-O visa, you must register your Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) QR code within 72 hours of your flight.
  • Re-Entry Permits: To keep your one-year stay active when traveling abroad, we secure your Re-Entry Permit (Single or Multiple), ensuring your visa remains valid upon your return to Southern Thailand.

SiamConsult Passport Logistics: We track your expiry dates and 90-day reporting cycles for you. Our 17 years of expertise ensures your legal stay remains continuous, comfortable, and fully protected from overstay risks.

3. Can I apply for a Non-O Visa inside Thailand?

Yes. In many cases, SiamConsult can assist you in converting your current status directly in Thailand. Whether you arrived on a Tourist Visa or a Visa Exemption, we can often facilitate a conversion to a Non-O Visa (Marriage, Retirement, or Dependent) without the need for an international visa run.

2026 In-Country Conversion Requirements:
  • The 15-Day Rule: To qualify for a 2026 in-country conversion (Forms TM.86 or TM.87), you must have at least 15 days of legal stay remaining on your current entry. We recommend starting the process as early as possible.
  • Exemption Extensions: In March 2026, while many arrivals receive a 60-day exemption, some categories may revert to 30 days. We manage your 30-day extension at Immigration to ensure you have the necessary time window for the Non-O conversion.
  • Mandatory Biometrics: As part of the 2026 conversion process, you will be required to attend a 12-minute in-person biometric session at the provincial Immigration office in Krabi or Phuket.
  • Digital Alignment: We ensure your Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) data is synchronized with your new visa status to prevent “System Blocks” during future re-entries.

SiamConsult Strategy: Converting inside Thailand saves you the time and expense of traveling to a Thai Embassy abroad. We review your eligibility, prepare the full dossier, and coordinate with Immigration to secure your 90-day Non-O stamp effortlessly.

Don’t risk a visa run. Contact us via the form above to check your eligibility for conversion.

4. What documents are required?

Document requirements in 2026 vary strictly based on your purpose of stay. To ensure your Non-Immigrant O Visa approval, SiamConsult prepares, checks, and organizes your entire digital and physical dossier, preventing the “System Blocks” common in modern Thai Immigration portals.

Standard 2026 Documentation Checklist:
  • Valid Passport: Must have at least 6 months of validity remaining and sufficient empty pages for your new 90-day and 1-year stamps.
  • Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC): Your mandatory QR code generated within 72 hours of your arrival, linking your digital footprint to your visa category.
  • Proof of Relationship: Certified and apostilled (if from abroad) Marriage Certificates or Birth Certificates. In 2026, this includes legal documentation for same-sex spouses.
  • Financial Evidence: Updated Thai Bank Statements showing the required seasoning (2-3 months). This includes the 800,000 THB for retirement or 400,000 THB for marriage.
  • Address Registration (TM.30): Current 2026 proof of residence is mandatory. This must be filed digitally and synchronized with your Immigration record before any extension can be processed.
  • Health Insurance (Non-O-A & O-X): Proof of a 2026-compliant Thai health insurance policy with the latest minimum coverage thresholds ($100,000 USD / 4M THB).
  • Biometric Photos: While we submit digital photos, a mandatory 12-minute in-person biometric session is required at the provincial office for final verification.
SiamConsult Precision: We provide bilingual templates and verify every signature. By managing your Passport Logistics, we ensure that your TM.30, bank seasoning, and insurance are all perfectly aligned for a “first-time” approval.

Don’t let a missing document derail your stay. Contact us for a full pre-audit of your file.

5. What are the financial requirements for Non-O Visas?

In 2026, meeting the financial thresholds is the most scrutinized part of the application process. SiamConsult verifies that your financial evidence—whether savings or monthly income—is fully “seasoned” and properly documented to meet the latest March 2026 Immigration standards.

2026 Specific Financial Thresholds:
  • Marriage (Non-O): Requires 400,000 THB held in a Thai bank account for at least 2 months prior to the application, or a proven monthly income of 40,000 THB.
  • Retirement (Non-O): Requires 800,000 THB held in a Thai bank account for at least 2 months before (and 3 months after) the application, or a monthly income of 65,000 THB.
  • Guardian / Parent of Thai Child (Non-O): In 2026, this category typically requires 500,000 THB in a Thai bank account to demonstrate financial stability for the child’s care.
  • Dependent of Work Permit Holder (Non-O): Proof of family support, typically synchronized with the primary holder’s employment income and updated 2026 company tax filings.

SiamConsult Verification: We provide specialized banking coordination to ensure your “Bank Letter” and updated Passbook are perfectly synchronized with your digital application. We handle the 2026 “Audit Check” to ensure your funds meet seasoning rules before you ever set foot in the Immigration office.

Not sure if your finances meet the 2026 standards? Contact us via the form above for a pre-audit.

6. Can I work in Thailand with a Non-O Visa?

Generally, no. The Non-Immigrant O Visa itself is a “residency” category, not a work authorization. However, 2026 regulations provide specific pathways for those on Marriage or Volunteer tracks to maintain their status while working legally.

2026 Working Protocols for Non-O Holders:
  • Marriage Visa Holders: You are eligible to apply for a Work Permit without changing your visa to a Non-B. In 2026, this is issued as a Digital e-Work Permit. SiamConsult assists with the mandatory ThaID App identity verification required to activate your digital permit.
  • Volunteer Visa Holders: Even for unpaid positions, a Digital e-Work Permit is mandatory. We ensure your foundation is 2026-compliant and your permit is correctly linked to your provincial volunteer status.
  • Retirement Visa Holders: Employment is strictly prohibited. If you wish to transition from retirement to active business or remote work, we can guide you toward the Non-B Visa or the 5-year Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).
  • Anti-Nominee Compliance: If you are a director of a company under a Non-O (Marriage) path, you must comply with the April 2026 DBD orders regarding genuine capital investment. Our accounting team performs a pre-audit of your shareholders to prevent “Nominee Inspections” in Krabi and Phuket.
SiamConsult Expertise: Working without a permit in 2026 carries heavy digital-trace penalties. Whether you need a Digital e-Work Permit for your own business or an upgrade to a Non-B Visa, we provide the ‘Fast-Track’ logistics to keep your career and your residency 100% legal.

7. What happens if I overstay my visa?

Overstaying in Thailand is a serious offense. In 2026, the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) and integrated biometric systems mean that an overstay is immediately flagged in the national database, making it nearly impossible to avoid detection during your next interaction with authorities or when exiting the country.

2026 Overstay Penalties & Risks:
  • Financial Fines: The standard fine remains 500 THB per day, up to a maximum of 20,000 THB. However, in 2026, persistent overstays may lead to additional “Administrative Processing” fees.
  • Blacklisting and Entry Bans: If you overstay by 90 days or more, you will face a mandatory entry ban (Blacklisting). In 2026, these bans range from 1 to 10 years, depending on whether you surrendered voluntarily or were apprehended.
  • Digital “Red Flag”: Any overstay in 2026 is permanently linked to your ThaID profile and Biometric ID. This can complicate future visa applications, making “Fast-Track” approvals much harder to obtain.
  • Detention Risk: Overstaying puts you at risk of being held at an Immigration Detention Center (IDC) until deportation arrangements are finalized.
SiamConsult Passport Logistics: We take the burden of tracking dates off your shoulders. We monitor your 2026 extension deadlines and 90-day reporting windows, providing a “Buffer Alert” to ensure you stay fully compliant, secure, and welcome in Thailand.

Don’t risk your residency. If you are near your expiry date, contact us via the form above immediately.

8. Do I need to report to Immigration every 90 days?

Yes. Even with a valid one-year Non-Immigrant O Visa, the 90-Day Reporting (TM.47) remains a mandatory requirement for all foreigners staying in Thailand for more than 90 consecutive days. In 2026, this reporting is increasingly digital, yet “System Blocks” and address synchronization errors (TM.30) remain common for those in Krabi, Phuket, and Southern Thailand.

2026 90-Day Reporting Compliance:
  • Digital Submission: While online reporting is the 2026 standard, any change in residency or travel must be manually synchronized with your Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) record to avoid a “No Data Found” error.
  • The 15-7 Day Window: You must file your report 15 days before or 7 days after your due date. In 2026, missing this window results in a mandatory 2,000 THB fine and a “Red Flag” on your digital record.
  • Special Exemptions: If you are on an LTR (Long-Term Resident) or SMART Visa, your 2026 reporting cycle may be extended to 1 year. SiamConsult verifies your specific eligibility to reduce your contact with Immigration.
  • TM.30 Synchronization: In 2026, your 90-day report will only be accepted if your TM.30 Address Notification is current and correctly verified in the database.

SiamConsult “Set-and-Forget” Service: We take the burden off your shoulders. Our Passport Logistics team monitors your reporting dates and handles the submission for you—whether online or in person at the Krabi/Phuket office. We ensure your legal status remains flawless, so you never have to worry about a missed deadline.

Don’t let a simple report turn into a fine. Just fill in the form above, and we’ll manage it for you.

9. Can my family stay with me under the same visa type?

Yes. Your legal spouse and children under 20 years of age can apply for Dependent Visas (Non-Immigrant O) that are directly linked to your primary visa status (such as a Non-B, Retirement, or LTR visa). In 2026, the Marriage Equality Act has expanded these rights, ensuring that all legally recognized partners can remain together in Thailand with full legal security.

2026 Family Synchronization & Compliance:
  • Marriage Equality Integration: As of March 2026, Thailand officially grants dependency rights to same-sex spouses. We assist in verifying your apostilled marriage documentation for seamless digital portal acceptance.
  • Children Under 20: We manage the specific 2026 relationship evidence required for biological or legally adopted children, ensuring their stay is synchronized with your own expiry dates.
  • Coordinated Biometrics: In 2026, every family member must complete a mandatory 12-minute in-person biometric session. We schedule “Family Fast-Track” appointments at Krabi or Phuket Immigration so everyone can be processed in a single visit.
  • Unified TDAC Management: We handle the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) registration for your entire household, ensuring each family member has their mandatory QR code correctly linked to your primary visa status before arrival.
  • Financial Maintenance: We verify that you meet the 2026 financial maintenance requirements—such as the 400,000 THB deposit for certain spousal tracks—to prevent “Audit Flags” during your annual renewal.

SiamConsult Family Support: With 16 years of local experience, we synchronize your family’s 90-day reporting and annual extensions. We handle the Passport Logistics for the whole house, so you can focus on building your life together in Southern Thailand.

10. Why choose SiamConsult for my Non-O Visa?

Because experience matters. In the digital landscape of March 2026, navigating Thai residency requires more than just filling out forms—it requires a partner who understands Passport Logistics and has the local authority connections to troubleshoot “System Blocks” in real-time.

The SiamConsult Difference in Southern Thailand:
  • 17 Years of Local Authority: Since 2009, we have built trusted relationships with the Krabi, Phuket, and Phang-Nga Immigration offices. We don’t just submit files; we ensure they are “Audit-Proof” before the 2026 digital scrutiny begins.
  • Fast-Track Biometric Scheduling: Every long-term extension in 2026 requires a mandatory 12-minute in-person biometric session. We coordinate your appointment at the provincial center to minimize your wait time and ensure your High-Def photo and fingerprints are correctly recorded.
  • Digital Ecosystem Experts: From the TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) registration to identity verification via the ThaID App, we handle the technical hurdles that often stall DIY applications in 2026.
  • Bilingual Precision: We provide bilingual templates and ensure all certified documents—including those for the 2026 Marriage Equality tracks—are apostilled and translated to the highest official standards.
  • Full-Scope Coverage: Our service extends from Ao Nang and Koh Lanta to the main provincial hubs. Whether you need a simple extension or a complex “Non-O conversion” from a 60-day exemption, we manage every detail.

SiamConsult Care: Our goal is your peace of mind. We take the complexity out of 2026 residency rules, providing you with a smooth, predictable, and 100% legal path to stay in Thailand.

11. How is the step-by-step procedure with SiamConsult?

In 2026, the path to a Non-Immigrant O Visa has shifted toward a “Digital First” model. At SiamConsult, we navigate this modern ecosystem for you, ensuring that your TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card), biometric records, and physical dossiers are perfectly synchronized for a first-time approval.

Our 2026 Step-by-Step Process:
  • Step 1: Digital Intake & Pre-Audit: Start by filling in the online form on this page. Attach your passport copy and your current 2026 TDAC QR code or entry stamp. Our specialists will perform an immediate “Audit Check” on your eligibility and financial seasoning.
  • Step 2: Expert Consultation & Strategy: Once we review your files, we contact you via email to confirm the correct Non-O subtype (Marriage, Retirement, Dependent, etc.) and outline the 2026 “Fast-Track” timeline specific to Krabi, Phuket, or Phang-Nga.
  • Step 3: Document Engineering: We prepare your complete bilingual application set, including 2026-standard financial evidence, relationship certificates (now including Marriage Equality documentation), and residency proofs (TM.30).
  • Step 4: Biometric & Appointment Scheduling: We coordinate directly with the Immigration Bureau to schedule your mandatory 12-minute in-person biometric session. We ensure your High-Def photo and fingerprints are recorded with zero technical delays.
  • Step 5: Direct Liaison & Approval: Our team manages all communication with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or Labor where needed. We handle the “Passport Logistics” from submission to the final visa issuance, providing clear digital updates at every stage.
  • Step 6: Continuous Compliance: After your visa is granted, we provide ongoing support for your 90-day reports and annual extensions, keeping your residency in Southern Thailand secure and stress-free.

SiamConsult Assurance: With 16 years of local experience, we make the complex digital transition of 2026 organized, personal, and fully understandable. We handle the system so you can enjoy your life in Thailand.

I applied for a Non-B Visa and Work Permit through SiamConsult, and the process was smooth from start to finish. They explained every step clearly and handled all the paperwork with Immigration and the Labour Office. I now work legally in Thailand without stress. Highly recommended!”
