Hello everyone 👋

My wife and I, along with our four children (one of whom has special needs), are planning a long-term move to Thailand in early 2026. Our son with special needs will be receiving stem cell therapy in Bangkok, and we hope to settle down long-term near Jomtien Beach, Pattaya.

During his therapy sessions, I’ll be traveling with him to Bangkok for a week at a time, while the rest of the family stays in Pattaya.

My wife is a disabled U.S. veteran and receives a guaranteed monthly income of about USD 4,500 (~166,000 THB). We can provide full documentation of this income, along with supporting bank statements.

We’re currently trying to figure out the best visa pathway for a family of six that:

1️⃣ Accommodates dependents (spouse + children),

2️⃣ Doesn’t require a large upfront 3-month bank deposit, and

3️⃣ Allows long-term residence with minimal renewal hassle.

If anyone here has experience with family moves like this — or can recommend a reliable visa agent or immigration lawyer who handles complex family or medical cases — we’d really appreciate your advice 🙏

Thank you all for your time and any recommendations you can share ❤️
