I’m moving to Thailand for only 1 year with 6 and 11 year old kids , I noticed schooling is very expensive so I decided to hire a private teacher for homeschooling.

I work remotely which visa would you guys recommend?

I am 55 and preparing to move to Thailand in a few months on a retirement visa and I have a school age child. (14 yrs old) From what I have been reading my child would need an ED visa and attend Thai school for long term stay which is very pricey. Also when she turns 20 she would have to leave unless she had a DTV or education Visa which she would not be able to do obtain. What would be our other options besides leaving her in the states with family?

Hi everyone , we are from HK , now stay in Phuket study in international school . My boy in 12 years old ,we would like to start homeschool and we are now in ed and non-o visa , but after not attend to the school , any appropriate visa we can apply for ? DTV ?

Many thanks 🙏

Looking to move my family of 8 and possibly mother in law to Bangkok in Summer 2026. Give me some advice please.

We currently homeschool Ages 18(interested in Culinary), 14,10,8,4,1. What would be the best option for such a big family?

We don’t have the baht requirement for us all to be on DTV., only myself would cover the Baht requirements with dependents/ current living expenses $3600 monthly

My children are US Passport holders and their mom. I’m a Jamaican Passport holder . Would the requirement make a big difference ?

Also, has anyone done a retirement visa. My mother is 80 on a fixed income. Any advice on that. (Found answer to this)

Any expats worldschool their children do you have a tutor or send them to school in Thailand? And what are the costs?

Looking at our options for the years we plan to be there (coming from the uk).

Our kids will be 10 and 8.

Open to all options, T.I.A

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!

Edit for all the enquiring minds:

My husband receives a steady monthly income from the VA. We will have DTV visas. We homeschool our children and will be be putting them in muay thai. Thanks for all of your input and concerns for our family. P.S. we've done a lot of research but are also looking for feedback from people who are actually familiar with the areas.

Hi, we are a family of 5 looking to move to Thailand by the end of the year. I would like opinions on Hua Hin vs Chang Mai for families. TIA

Options for a family of six? Dad and Mom want to study the Thai language (actually want to study thai, not just for visa.) Kids are homeschooled, ages 16,13,11,7. Is it possible to get a dependent visa for all four kiddos?

Are there any online schools teaching Thai curriculum

For age 9 upwards that would accommodate home schooling from Malaysia or Hong Kong ?

Hello, thinking of moving over with my two children but at the moment just researching

Please can anybody give me any advice, tips etc please.

Thank you. I am a single mother
