A parent,and whetherit applies.
Possible in some circumstances, with its own conditions. Worth asking about rather than assuming either way, because both assumptions are wrong about as often.
Ask whether it applies to youHua Hin Visa Concierge is a private visa and immigration administration agency. We are not a law firm and we do not provide legal advice. All applications are decided by the Thai authorities, and no outcome can be guaranteed.
Neither yes nor no, yet.
This is the question most people answer for themselves, in one direction or the other, before anyone has read their circumstances.
Why it is not a simple answer
A parent is not treated the way a spouse or a child is treated. There are circumstances in which an application is available and circumstances in which it is not, and the difference sits in the detail of your household rather than in a general rule.
What those circumstances are depends on the case. We would rather confirm them for yours than publish something that reads well and is wrong.
What tends to be relevant
Your own permission to stay, the arrangement your parent is living under now, and what evidence exists of the relationship and of dependency. We ask about all three before we say anything definite.
Why asking costs nothing
The conversation takes a few minutes. Assuming it is impossible has cost people a year of separate tourist entries, and assuming it is straightforward has cost people a wasted filing.
We check before you plan
The order matters here more than usual, because the answer changes the whole arrangement.
You tell us the household
Who lives where, on what permission, and since when.
We check the conditions
Against what is confirmed for your case rather than against a general reading.
We say plainly whether it applies
Including when the answer is that it does not, which is often.
We set out the alternative
If a dependant route is not available, there is usually a different arrangement worth knowing about.
Conditions, and the file
Both stay unpublished until they have been confirmed.
What you need
Each item below is confirmed against your circumstances and the office that will read it, rather than published in advance.
What we will not do
We will not encourage a filing we do not think stands up. A refused application is not a neutral event, and it is on the record afterwards.
We answer the question asked
What we take on, and what stays with you.
We tell you when it is no
Plainly, and early, so you can plan around it rather than wait on it.
We tell you what else exists
Where the dependant route is closed, other arrangements are usually open. We set them out in the same conversation.
