A dependent family visa — what should you know about the consequences of overstay?

This question is specifically about “A dependent family visa”, so it deals with the case-specific points first and the shared rules afterwards. Attach a document index to the bundle so nothing is lost during review. Note who signed each certification and on what date for later reference. Once the set is complete, check it line by line against the destination's own checklist before filing. The terms that frame this page are dependent · family · visa · know. The deciding factor is the receiving body's requirement, not only the format of the Thai-side document. The condition most often overlooked is that name spelling must match across every document in the set. Before starting, check that names are spelled identically to the passport or ID card on every page, then confirm with the receiving body whether it wants an original, a certified copy or a certified translation, then ask in advance which category of certified translator the destination accepts. When several certification layers are required, start with the slowest one. With a fixed filing date, count backwards from it and book each certification step in reverse. Overstaying is an offence under the Immigration Act, carrying a fine and, depending on the length of the overstay and whether the person surrendered or was arrested, a re-entry ban; the applicable figures come from the law and official announcements and must be checked case by case. Entry, stay and status of foreign nationals in Thailand are governed by the Immigration Act B.E. 2522 (1979) and its ministerial regulations: visas are issued by Thai embassies, consulates and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs e-Visa system, while permission to stay and extensions are decided by the Immigration Bureau of the Royal Thai Police. ILC's scope is documentation — certified translation, notarial signature certification and running legalisation at the Department of Consular Affairs or an embassy. We are not an immigration authority and cannot guarantee any visa decision, which rests solely with the competent officer. Fees and scheduling depend on the number of documents, the source language, which authority must certify them and the destination country; we confirm scope in writing before starting.
