What visa options are available for a family of digital nomads moving to Chiang Mai, and are there better alternatives than Iglu for starting a business?

make sure you get pre approved for Vietnam before you come...

I wonder if you can share a visa like you can a beer?....Just saying.

Iglus 30% seemed high to me as well.. If I understand correctly they also want the money to flow through them. In effect your clients become their clients. And the money relationship becomes between client and Iglu, I think asking a little too much. I just skip over the boarder every 90 days. I looked into other options and found it to be one of the better ones.. Who doesn't like to go to Bali 3 weeks? Vietnam was great. If you have the money look into the Elite visa. Getting married isn't difficult (you'll have to marry a thai), but that is costly and then also you'll be married. I think other 'options' meaning BS-ing the system are unwise.. Its not worth the headache

Iglus 30% can be capped to equate to only 600 USD per month by using an offshore entity. It includes health insurance and taxes, but still isn't cheap.

All those visa you are not allowed to work in Thailand on

Suggest you join the Chiang Mai Digital Nomads FB group.

So you have 2 options, for those who want to work need a Non Immigrant O visa base on marriage with a Thai National, or a Non Immigrant B visa. You can set up a company of which 51% must be Thai share holders and max 49 % foreigners, for each work permit you need 2 million bank guarantee and 4 Thai staff. For the rest, if they younger than 20 than can ask for Non O immigrant Visa depending on dad or their husband/wife visa as dependent.

Based on which law is that? For working in Thailand you need a Work Permit,

If dad is over 50, he can apply or a Non Immigrant O visa based on retirement, if you go to school you can apply with help from the school for an Education Visa for all the rest depends if they all meet the requirements. Without info hard to give advice.
