Hey Everyone. I'm a disabled U.S. veteran planning to move to Thailand on January 7th, 2025 with my wife. I was wondering since we're both under 50, what would be the best long term visa option for us? I plan on working remotely but my wife will be retiring. Also, we plan on getting a tourist visa before departing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A disabled U.S. veteran and his wife are planning to move to Thailand in early 2025 and seek the best long-term visa options since they are both under 50. They are considering starting with a tourist visa and have received various suggestions including testing the waters with short-term stays, applying for a METV (multiple entry tourist visa), or looking into the LTR (long-term resident) visa specifically designed for remote workers, though challenges in qualifying were noted. The discussions also touched on the necessity of obtaining work permits for remote work and the implications of their location choice in Pattaya.
