ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The question asks about eligibility for a DTV visa given that the asker has a Thai wife and children in Thailand while working abroad. The responses clarify that the DTV visa is primarily for remote workers or those involved in soft power. It is also noted that having a Thai family does not directly affect eligibility. The general consensus is that the Non-O visa based on marriage may be a more suitable option despite challenges in renewal.
