What is a Thailand Family Visa?
A Thailand Family Visa is issued to eligible foreign nationals who wish to visit or stay with family members who are Thai citizens or legally residing in Thailand. Depending on the applicant’s relationship and purpose of stay, applicants may apply for an appropriate Non-Immigrant Visa (Category O) or another eligible visa category under Thai immigration regulations.
The applicable visa category is determined by the Royal Thai Embassy/Consulate based on the applicant’s eligibility and supporting documentation.
