My family and have been in Taiwan since covid hit and we've been looking to move to Thailand. First we were trying to get the special tourist visa (we meet all of the requirements) but since we're not Taiwanese residents, the Thai embassy here won't help us with that and the Thai embassy in the US says we would need to go there in person to get a stamp. Too much of a hassle so we're looking to get a tourist visa and then figure out a way to stay in Thailand. Does anyone have any advice for this? We have 2 kids that go to school so maybe we could switch to an education visa once we're there? Thanks for your help!
TLDR : Answer Summary
A family currently in Taiwan is seeking advice on how to move to Thailand amid travel restrictions. Initially considering the Special Tourist Visa (STV) but facing obstacles since they aren't Taiwanese residents, they're now exploring the option of obtaining a regular tourist visa. They inquire about potentially switching to an education visa for their children once in Thailand. Responses suggest applying for single entry tourist visas for the family, which would allow for a 60-day stay with a possible 30-day extension. Additional suggestions include checking services like Thailand Elite for various visa options.
