Trying to sanity check my plans- I'm about to retire from the (US) military, planning on moving over to Bangkok and attending university on GI Bill. I know it's no problem to get my own Ed visa through the school, but the school I'm planning on attending is saying they (and others) don't provide sponsorship for family members.

Would my wife and son (14) not be able to accompany me via non-O immigrant visa?

We are planning on enrolling him into one of the international schools, but prob not until we're settled and have things figured out a little better, maybe the second school year in country- so getting him an Ed visa and putting my wife on as the caretaker doesn't help.

DTV for wife, with son as dependent? Is that a viable plan?

I am looking to talk with a visa agent for some clarification/advice.

I would get my own DTV, but I *want* to attend university, and it's my understanding that the schools will push me onto their own Ed visa.

Thank you

A question for those who are retired military living in Thailand and who uses TriCare. Can you get your prescription medicines sent to your home address, or mailed there, like high blood pressure. Type 2 diabetes meds, for example?
