What visa options are available for a family traveling to Thailand for three months, given recent visa changes?
Can anyone help? So ive book accommodation and my flights for myself, my husband and my 83 year old father. We travel to Thailand on the 1/1/27 and return back to the UK on the 30/3/27 and booked everything before the Visa changes. I run my own business that I have someone in running while im away. My husband is on 4 months leave and my dad has retired. We all have a decent amount of money in the bank so what Visa do we apply for? We are all over 50. Any help would be appreciated as I dont want to have to cancel. And to add we last visited in May last year

Congratulations, you heard right, so your hearing is good.
May be not as good as chances to get DTV with this level of research abilities

You appear to be attempting to cause unease by suggesting that, since 31st August, embassies/consulates can introduce additional requirements known only to themselves. You need to reassure future applicants that this has always been the case. Government departments worldwide operate similarly.
