TLDR : Answer Summary

A single mother relocating to Hang Dong District, Thailand, is seeking guidance on applying for a DTV visa for herself and her two young children. Community responses indicate that applying for a DTV visa must be done from the home country, as applications cannot be submitted within Thailand. It is recommended to handle all visa applications while still in the USA, with specific advice about ensuring all necessary funds and documentation are prepared. Additionally, options like soft power programs and cooking classes in Thailand that fit visa requirements were mentioned.

You can’t wait until you are there, because you can’t apply for DTV inside Thailand.

It is best done in you homecountry, where the Embassy Staff will be familiar why the way documents are formed in that country.

You can apply while in the USA - you cannot apply in Thailand so if you did come here you would then have to leave to apply in Vietnam, Laos etc. The same is true of applying for the dependent visa for your kids. Much easier for you to apply for all of it in the USa and arrive with the visas

You can’t apply for a DTV in Thailand. Use the map below to work out which consulate you can apply to.

It’s all done online but routes to the consulate that covers where you live.
