My wife is half Thai and is in the process of obtaining her Thai passport. As her husband, I’m trying to understand what the easiest visa option would be for myself and our two children once she has it? Our children are 1year old and 4 year old.

Would we be able to apply for the appropriate visas from within Thailand while on a tourist visa, or would we need to leave the country to apply?

Also, if her Thai passport isn’t issued before our current tourist visa expires, is it possible for us to switch to education visas instead? In that case, can our children be listed as dependants under one visa, or would each family member need their own visa arrangement?

Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated
