ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
A Swedish family of three, where the parents are unmarried and not working, is looking for long-term visa options for staying in Thailand. The discussion highlights that arriving on a visa exempt status allows for conversion to another visa, although options are limited due to their age. Possible visa types include an education visa for the child, or an LTR visa, but concerns arise over the lack of marriage which affects availability of dependent visas. Each parent will need their own visa since they cannot rely on spouse options.
