ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
A family of four is planning to move to Thailand in January 2026, looking for advice on visa options, cost of living, and suitable cities. They intend to apply for a DTV visa for the wife and an education visa for the husband, but seek clarification on whether a dependent DTV visa would be easier. Community members suggest that a monthly income of around 200,000 baht is advisable for living in Bangkok, especially considering factors like school choices for children, food preferences, and housing costs associated with pets. Several insights highlight the need for careful financial planning, particularly regarding rent and potential medical expenses.
