Immigration to Thailand: Long-term Visas
Foreigners wishing to remain in Thailand for an extended period of time may apply for any number of long-stay visas at Thai Embassies or Consulates abroad. In most cases, such visas will be granted for a period not exceeding 90 days following entry into Thailand. The visa can then be extended at a local Immigration Office for the maximum allowable period of extension, usually a year following the first date of entry.
The most popular long-term visas requested by foreigners:
Business Visa
to allow the applicant to work in Thailand (obtained in conjunction with a work permit)
Marriage Visa
to allow a foreigner married to a Thai national to live with his/her spouse in Thailand
Dependent Visa
to allow the married spouse of a foreigner holding a long-term visa to accompany his/her spouse for that same period of time; this visa also applies to children under the age of 20 accompanying parents with valid long-term visas in Thailand
Guardianship Visa
to allow a parent to come to Thailand to take care of his/her Thai child or a foreign child enrolled in a recognized educational institution
Education Visa
to allow an individual to attend recognized academic courses in, for example, the Thai language
