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)

Well today was my first day possible to go back to immigration to process my 12 Month Extension of Stay based on my Non-O Retirement Visa. I had everything the Immigration Officer wanted and received my extension without having to get anything additional. Also processed my reentry permit while here since I already have trips lined up.

I know people on here get “snotty” when expats say 12 month visa instead of 12 month extension of stay, but the Immigration Officer told me I now had a 12 Month Visa🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

I would like to apply for non-o retirement visa while I will be in Vientiane Laos...

Before it was stating that passport should have 6 months validity when you will get in thailand and I now Isee some other place stating that I need 1 year validity...

Is there any body knows if 6 months validity could be ok to qualify for the non-o visa over 50 year old?

We currently homeschool but are very open to the education visa for our children. Ages 18(interested in Culinary), 14,10,8,4,1. What would be the best option for such a big family?

Ok. So I think I know the answer but I want to check. I’m currently on an extension of stay on my Non O for retirement. When I apply for my next extension of stay Can I change that to a non O for marriage or do I have to start again. Thanks

Hi. Sorry to ask something that must have been asked before but I received confusing informatiin from the Chiang Mai immigration office.

If I am on a retirement visa (my first time) and I want to do the same next year, does the money have to be in the bank two, three or four months before I hand in my application? Some websites give different answers. And is it a matter of sending in the exact same documents as the first time? Will those documents need updating - besides the bank stuff? And can I choose when I do it? I was thinking I might do it two weeks before my current visa expires, although maybe earlier so I have plenty of time if I get anything wrong. Is there an earliest date you can apply before expiry? Thank you!

Quick question; when you go to apply for a 12 month retirement visa extension for the 2nd time is there a 2 week 'under consideration' period or do you get the stamp on the same day? Many thanks.

Hello, I am inquiring about the retirement visa. I have plans to travel to Thailand in March of 2026. Would you apply for the retirement visa prior to coming or apply for the tourist visa 1st? Hope this makes sense. Trying to get clarity. Thank you.
