What visa options should a family consider when moving to Thailand while one parent works in the UK?
Hi, looking for advice please. We are a family looking to move over to thailand. The plan is for my husband to still work in the UK, possibly 6 weeks on, 6 weeks off. Any advice for best visas please? 🙏
Answer summary
A family planning to move to Thailand, where one parent will work remotely in the UK, is advised to consider the 'DTV' (Digital Nomad Visa) option if they meet financial requirements, specifically having 500,000 THB in a bank account. The husband may not need a visa, but the wife and children will require visas. The DTV visa is valid for 5 years, after which they would need to apply for another visa.

Your husband technically does not need a visa but you and any children would. Remember Dtv is 5 years so after that you will need another visa.

He should do DTV and add you and your kids on it? Does he have 500k THB?
