luckily someone put me in touch with the BOI and they clarified my wife will qualify for a dependant's visa after the 25th. That's a huge relief for me.

you're right about their responsiveness. I already heard back confirming that my wife will be eligible for a dependant's visa once same sex marriage takes effect.

@Brandon ***********

than you so much for this information! I was getting some red flags when she dismissed the LTR so quickly with me already having most of the paperwork. I'll definitely reach out to the BOI.

hi, thanks for the info. I'll definitely reach out to them. I'm totally remote, and would be staying in Thailand full time. I have permission from my employer to work remotely from Thailand keeping my US job, and they'll provide any paperwork needed to verify that status.

What kind of company does your husband do remote work for. If the company is publicly traded or worth over a certain amount of money, you've done a specialized job for over 5 years, have permission to work from Thailand, and make over $80,000 equivalent/year - there's a LTR visa for that. There's more info on like the Thai embassy site or through agents. We're moving there next year and that's the visa I'm seeking.

thanks, yeah, Thailand has stem cell therapy for Parkinson's that the US doesn't have, and we're looking into that. Though she'll still need meds, it'll slow it down.
