Please inform yourself of the rules by the Thai government that are requirements for obtaining a Guardian Visa.

By Thai law the Guardian Visa allows a parent to live in Thailand for the purpose of caring for their children. It is against the law for a parent on a Guardian Visa to work or volunteer. CRICS will not request a Guardian Visa on behalf of a parent who is working for another organization.

Additionally, there must be 500,000 baht in a Thai bank account for 2 months before the Guardian Visa can be renewed the first time (it must be in the name of each parent who is a Guardian). There must be 500,000 baht in a Thai bank account three months before the Guardian visa is renewed the second year.

One parent can "follow" one child. If both parents want to be on a Guardian visa please use the other parent's information on the student information form for your second child.

The CRICS fee for a Guardian visa will be 3000 baht/parent per school year effective immediately. The family is responsible for all visa application costs.
