My wife is half Thai and is in the process of obtaining her Thai passport. As her husband, I’m trying to understand what the easiest visa option would be for myself and our two children once she has it? Our children are 1year old and 4 year old.

Would we be able to apply for the appropriate visas from within Thailand while on a tourist visa, or would we need to leave the country to apply?

Also, if her Thai passport isn’t issued before our current tourist visa expires, is it possible for us to switch to education visas instead? In that case, can our children be listed as dependants under one visa, or would each family member need their own visa arrangement?

Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated

What's the equivalent of DTV for Vietnam? No work, just savings

Hypothetically, if someone obtained an "Education VISA" via an agent, and then went back to home country for an elongated period of time and then returned back to Thailand, let's assume a re-entry permit was applied for before going back to home country. Would that person be scrutinised more by Immigration staff at the airport?

Getting ready to move to Thailand and really needed help with my Visa situation. Don’t really know where to start. I’m currently in the states and plan to come June 6 since my lease is up. I won’t have had the 16k in my account for 3 months yet to apply for the dtv visa. Anyone can point me in the direction of an agent who can assist me with the transition to come to Thailand. I would like to be in Bangkok. My income will be my VA monthly payment. To include my retirement from my job.

Curious, looking at getting a DTV because I plan to retire in Thailand longterm but I wanted to take cooking and language classes anyway. Can you transition from a DTV to a O or OA down the road?

Hi all

Does anyone have any experience with getting an education visa for their child where the biological father has not consented (they’ve never had contact and we do not know his location)

I am looking into getting a court order but in the meantime wonder if anyone has experienced anything similar and what questions you were asked at immigration?

Thank you

Hello I’m American and my girlfriend is Filipina we are looking to both apply for the DTV. I will be sponsoring here and we are wondering what is needed to apply!

We are currently in Vietnam and I have the money and everything necessary for proof of funds

Hey guys, I’m coming to Thailand on a 2-month visa and running into an issue finding a condo; most places only offer 6 or 12-month contracts.

I’m a digital nomad, so I was wondering if it’s possible to extend or switch to a longer visa after arriving in Thailand? That way I could commit to a longer lease.

Would really appreciate any advice or experiences

thanks

can international college students still open accounts

Hi,

In June my husband, our 13 yo child (we have accepted an offer for him at an international school there) and I are moving from the U.K. to CM. We are both 50+. We have already found a condo and are going to arrange the lease before our arrival. What visa should we apply for e.g. guardian, retirement or other? What is the procedure? Should we contact Thai embassy in the U.K. before we leave? Thank you 🙏 🙏 🙏
