Hello all! We are looking for people in a similar situation. Both my wife and I collect pension, roughly 284,000 THB per month combined, not including outside sources of income. We started working with Bangkok Buddy as a visa / travel agent, but after hours of research into the subject we are lost.
Quick bio of our situation, we are both U.S. Military Veterans with 3 children, we would like to put them in an international school, however we must figure out our visa situation before applying. Another thought that may be important to take into consideration with Visas, (having a Thai employee, aka Nanny). We are both in our 20’s so we don’t hit that 50yr mark quite yet lol.
For the expats in similar situations, did you stick to Thailand or move from country to country every 90 days? Please help us navigate this 🙏🏻 Thanks ya’ll!

TLDR : Answer Summary
A U.S. military veteran couple seeking advice on visa options for living in Thailand with children in international schools has raised concerns about financial challenges and eligibility for various visa categories. Given their combined pension of 284,000 THB, and their interest in education for their three children, community members have suggested exploring education and dependent visas based on the children's enrollment. The conversation also touched on the associated costs of international schooling and the financial requirements for those visas. Additionally, some users expressed skepticism about the couple's age and pension, leading to a mix of supportive and critical responses.
