Hello, I am seeking expert advice on relocating my family to Thailand in June 2026. My children will be 17, 14, and 13 years old, and I am unsure about the specific visa requirements. Chat GPT suggested that the DTV would be the most suitable option for us. I plan to homeschool my children initially and later explore other educational options. As a remote federal employee, I anticipate continuing in my role abroad, but I am also exploring alternative employment opportunities. I am currently pursuing TEFL and Cybersecurity certifications. Although I do not have substantial savings, I expect to receive $100,000 to $150,000 from the sale of my house and additional funds from selling our belongings. However, I am concerned about meeting the income and asset requirements, particularly if the necessary funds are not available in my account at the time of application. I wont be able to sell my house till around March when it is closer to the time we leave. The price for a monthly rental here in PA will run us at least $5000 which is a lot so if i can stay here as long as possible I will. Can someone explain the financial guidelines to me? Will my current job count as income or my house as assets? Can anyone recommend a professional in Pennsylvania who can assist me with the visa application process? Hopefully I am making sense. Thanks in advance!

I was wondering if anyone knows can kids go to school (international school) if they join me on a DTV?

Hi everyone I have a question are their any parents raising teenagers or have raised what was it like ? safe ? what neighborhood did you live in and what solution for school did you find planning on leaving the US in may

Hi Guys.

My application was accepted last Thursday in Cambodia. Workation. I was worried about being asked for tax returns etc but that never happened. Flew in last Friday and was asked no questions. Stamped in for 6 months.

I have a few questions;

1. I'm considering doing a Bachelor's degree, potentially at a university in Thailand, possibly online with Open University. Would it be possible to do that on a DTV?

2. If I did do the degree here, I'd be working very little (online, with an employer based in another country) and getting support from my Thai partner. Would I still be expected to pay tax on the little that I earn?

3. Am I expected to register where I am staying? It seems a bit pointless, as one of the reasons to get a DTV is to live a semi-nomadic lifestyle, moving from place to place. Who do I report this information to?

Thanks for your help so far....

I got my Study visa. Now the only thing is I feel I would like to postpone my trip for a while. Need to take care of some stuff if possible).

In the application before approval, I had mentioned that I would be there in the next two weeks from now, but now I would prefer to go there after two months.

Ofcourse I had also mentioned the date of beginning of School course and my flight dates which are all in the next two weeks.

Is that going to be fine if I don’t follow those dates and go after two months or it is going to be risky in Thai airport?
