Alien : Excuse me, my husband just died recently and my visa is for accompanied spouse and children. What shall I do?
Immigration officer : I’m sorry to hear that. Do you plan to continue your stay in Thailand?
Alien : Yes, my son is still studying at an international school in Thailand.
Immigration officer : Well, then. First you need to cancel your husband’s visa by showing us his death certificate. This will also cancel both yours and your son’s visa. After that, I suggest that you apply for a guardian visa.
Alien : What do I need for the application of a guardian visa?
Immigration officer : First, you need two certified letters from your son’s school. One letter must certify that he is a student at the school. Another letter must certify that you are his mother. Also, the school must state in these letters that they want your son to continue studying at their school. Finally, you need a passbook and a bank certified letter showing that you have at least 500,000 Baht for the last 60 days. Alien : Is that all?
Immigration officer : Yes, Ma’am.
Alien : Thank you. Immigration officer : You’re welcome.
