TLDR : 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.

If you have 500k THB in an acount DTV is the easiest.

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