What QuickVisa does
QuickVisa provides document review, case preparation and procedural support for Family Visa. The final decision is made by the competent Thai authority.
What a family / Non-O route is
Family stay in Thailand is usually a Non-Immigrant O (“Other”) ground, not a separate visa named “Family Visa”. Non-O is a group of non-work grounds. The ground must be stated: marriage to a Thai national, parent of a Thai child, or family member of a foreigner who already has a qualifying stay (for example a Work Permit holder or a retirement principal).
Each family member needs their own passport, their own visa or status, their own permission to stay and, if they travel, their own Re-entry Permit. Attachment to the principal is only the legal ground, not a shared visa.
Financial evidence, marriage or birth documents and office practice differ by ground and by Immigration office. A marriage ground is not the same checklist as retirement.
Service process
Initial case review → document checklist → document verification → application preparation → submission/appointment support where applicable → status follow-up.
What we need from the client
The exact checklist is case-specific. We first verify passport/immigration status, the legal basis of the application and supporting evidence required by the responsible authority.
What the client needs for a Family / Non-O route
The list below is the official-source baseline. The exact checklist depends on category, nationality, place of filing and responsible authority.
- Passport/travel document valid for at least 6 months.
- Completed application information and recent photograph.
- Financial evidence under the applicable category.
- Relationship evidence: MFA lists Birth Certificate and Marriage Certificate (or equivalent) for category O.
- Documents of the qualifying family member in Thailand where required by the specific route and authority.
- For an in-country extension, current immigration and address documents; the exact checklist depends on the family-extension basis.

What the Family Visa Is Used For
The family-related Non-Immigrant O route is used for eligible family connections, for example joining a Thai spouse or parent, accompanying a qualifying foreign resident, or staying with children or other dependants where the legal basis is accepted by the responsible authority.
Typical use cases
The applicant generally needs to prove the family relationship and provide documents from the Thai or foreign sponsor, depending on the case. The correct route can differ for a spouse, child, parent or dependant, so the relationship and immigration status must be assessed together.
Before applying
Marriage, birth, household registration, sponsorship and financial documents may be requested according to the place of application. Check the official Non-Immigrant O information and the family visa FAQ.
