What are the best visa options for retiring in Thailand with young twins?

@Brett ***********

, in that case, you may need to follow these steps.

1. Get you two Single Entry Tourist Visas if possible, or at least for your wife.

2. Once in Thailand open a Thai bank account in your name only and transfer your funds (one bank account is enough). Settle in an address. Get all necessary papers, prepare your Non-O retirement in-country ASAP

3. Apply for it before you still have days (depends on your address in Thailand) in your stamp. it will be issued and inked into your passport after that days

4. Once you get your in-country Non-O retirement visa, your wife goes to one of the countries around where she can enter and Thai Embassy there would issue a Non-immigrant visa to Czechs

5. Apply for her single entry Non-O based on trailing family (dependant) to your Non-O retirement there

6. She would come back on Non-O trailing family

7. You will apply for 1-year extension based on retirement when your stamp is remaining less than days (depends on your address again)

8. Your wife will apply for 1-year extension based on being trailing family to you when her stamp is remaining less than days

(If you can plan travel appropriately, 7 & 8 can be in the same window, so you can do them at once

As I mentioned about the children, they can do the same way as your wife, or you can decide to let them overstay for a while
