What are the best visa options for a British expat moving to Thailand with an American spouse and child?
Hello! I was looking for some advice. I’m a British National and my wife and child are American. We are aiming to move to Thailand by June 2025 and had some queries as to what the ideal visa options would be for my family and I. I am aware that as a single parent of an student enrolled in an International school automatically guarantees visa facilities for a single parent and the child. What would be the options for the other parent? Looking forward to hearing everyone’s opinions. TIA for the assistance.
