ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation revolves around obtaining the appropriate visa for moving to Thailand with a small child. The primary visa mentioned is the NON-O visa, which can eventually lead to Thai residency after three years. Additionally, if the child will attend school, a student visa is necessary, along with a guardian visa for the parent. Other alternatives discussed include the DTV visa, which requires entry and exit every six months and has various eligibility criteria. Participants emphasize the importance of researching visa options as they may change over time, and the necessity of ensuring financial stability before the move.
