Guardian Visa in Thailand

The Guardian Visa allows a parent to reside in Thailand to accompany their child who is enrolled in a Thai educational institution. This visa is particularly useful for young families where the parents are not seeking employment in Thailand. A Guardian Visa can be obtained if your child is attending any international school in Thailand or accredited Thai schools.

Requirements to Obtain a Guardian Visa in Thailand

To apply, you will first need to obtain a single-entry Non-Immigrant O visa from a Thai Consulate. This visa grants an initial 90-day stay. Upon arrival in Thailand with this visa, you must meet the current financial requirements, which involve having 500,000 Baht in a Thai bank account for a period of 30 days for the first year and 90 days for subsequent years.

Thai Immigration Requirements for a Guardian Visa

Thai Immigration also requires proof of the parent-child relationship, which can be demonstrated through either of the following:

• A notarized birth certificate.
• An affidavit from your consulate.
