Me (primary applicant) and my family are on DTV workcation visa. It mentions clearly that we can't work in Thailand. However, my daughter will be school going soon. Can she study in Thailand as a normal visa holder or any limitations in DTV? Will she be admitted in public schools (I am ok with her learning Thai language) or shall I only opt for international ones?

Hello, we are new to Chiang Mai, have been here for 9 weeks. I’m here with my husband and two kids, our kids are enrolled in an international school and will be getting ED visas soon. Through that, my husband and I can attain Guardian visas for the school year. We are unfamiliar with the process of applying for Guardian visas and will need to leave Thailand soon to reset our tourist visas while we are in the process of applying for them. My kids have appointment on November 3rd to change their tourist visas over to ED visas. At that point, we assume we can start the Guardian visas process. We were also told we would each need to have 486,000 baht each in a Thai bank account. We were also told we may need to have our kids’ birth certificates notarized, which we don’t have the original copies here with us so would not be able to do. Could anyone recommend a good Thai Bank and any advice regarding the original birth certificates? Could my husband and I leave every 2-3 months to reset our tourist visas? Is that an option for staying here long term?

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

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

Hello all! We are looking for people in a similar situation. Both my wife and I collect pension, roughly 284,000 THB per month combined, not including outside sources of income. We started working with Bangkok Buddy as a visa / travel agent, but after hours of research into the subject we are lost.

Quick bio of our situation, we are both U.S. Military Veterans with 3 children, we would like to put them in an international school, however we must figure out our visa situation before applying. Another thought that may be important to take into consideration with Visas, (having a Thai employee, aka Nanny). We are both in our 20’s so we don’t hit that 50yr mark quite yet lol.

For the expats in similar situations, did you stick to Thailand or move from country to country every 90 days? Please help us navigate this 🙏🏻 Thanks ya’ll!

(Pics for attention)

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

Hi Guys

Our family is looking to move to Thailand next year,

I’m 47 and have my own business here in the UK which I can run online.

My partner is 45 and is a carer? Is there any English run care homes in Thailand she could work in?

We have a 15 year old who wants to do hairdressing at college over there.

We also have a 13 year old daughter is there any schools you can recommend ?

We are looking for somewhere quiet but not to far away from a city/town is their any area you can suggest.

Also looking for 6/7 bedroom villa with pool and air con to rent long term that doesn’t come with added tourist tax if you could point us in the right direction all help and advise would be appreciated 🙂

Hi all,

I'm looking into relocating from Australia with my partner and 3 children.

My partner has a business and can work from anywhere. 2 of my children would go to an international school, my littlest is 1 yo.

We're not married but have been together for 17 years.

My partner is thinking, eventually, he would like to hire employees so I'm assuming that a business visa and work permit would be more suitable. Everything I've researched, our children would be able to apply for visas under his business visa but I would not unless we get married, which is fine, it's a piece of paper.

We're not in a hurry and want to ensure everything is done properly. I would love some advice on experiences or contacts for some solid info/assistance.

Appreciate any help. 😊
