ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello everyone! I'm brand new to this group and in the early stages of looking into relocating to Thailand! 

I'm looking to relocate with my mother and myself. She's of retirement age, so any information regarding visa options for retirees would be so super helpful.  

I currently work virtually as a nutritionist and am looking into starting my own business. 

Thanks in advance for your help!

TLDR : Answer Summary

A new member is seeking advice on relocating to Thailand with their mother, focusing on visa options for retirees and the process for starting a business as a virtual nutritionist. Community members recommended researching the retirement visa for the mother and a Destination Thailand Visa (DTR) for the poster, as well as additional resources such as Travelfish.org and YouTube content related to similar experiences.

I read it as that's what she currently does, not necessarily what the business she plans to start will do.
