Hello everyone. Thanks for all the useful info on here.

How long should it take to get a DTV for me and then apply to get spouse and two children added as dependents?

I am thinking about Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia or US or UK, so appreciate broad range of experiences and expectations.

I am looking at either soft power or self-employment - I am exploring both options.

Many thanks

On a retirement visa is it possible to add your child? Are there any other visa possibilities, other than education, for a child?

Hi all. My husband and I are planning to move to Thailand soon, initially coming on tourist visas. We've heard that before being granted a one-year visa, immigration typically issues a 3-month visa while you wait for your actual residency permit. My question is, will I be able to be attached to the 3-month Non-B visa? I work remotely and don't plan to get a separate visa, so I would be on my his visa. I'm concerned that if I can't join the Non-B visa, I might have to leave and re-enter Thailand, which I'd like to avoid.Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Lingering questions about DTV that I'm not sure have been answered yet:

— Can the 500k thb requirement be a USD equivalent in a US bank account, or does it *have* to be in a Thai Bank Account (I have one, but keeping that much in it for that long seems tedious and unnecessary). Concerned that transferring that much into my Thai bank account, if left unused, will have to be transferred back into my US account, but at a worse rate 🥴

— Dependents: will *each* dependent *also* need to pay 10k thb? Ex. I have four dependents. Will that be 40k thb for the dependents?

— Dependents: will each dependent require proof of an *additional* 500k per person?

— When more countries are added to the E-Visa online application system (one of their goals listed in their timeline—looking at SEA), will you be able to apply for DTV online from a neighboring country?

I have a children with Thai girl we not married which kind of visa I can get and or eventually working in Thailand ? Thx

A quick question please. I will be applying for a non O-A visa on my return to the UK next month. My wife will accompany me as a dependent on a non 0 visa would her restrictions be any different to mine. Would her visa need to be a Non O MTEV. Many thanks

Hi all! Question about ED visa. If my husband and I are able to get one for studying Thai in Phuket, what visa does my 7 mo old baby need to get or does he need anything at all? Also, any recommendations of schools in Northern Phuket close to Bang Tao or Surin? THANKS :)
