Can anyone advise please?

So my wife (Thai) and I have been married for 25 years this year. We've lived in the UK for most of those years, but now looking to retire to Thailand in 2 years when our son finishes uni.

Our son is 19 and holds a British passport. He was born in the UK. Would he be able to move with us and claim Thai citizenship without messing around with visas?

My concern is the whole national service thing. We didn't register him as eligible for national service as we live in the UK and at the time we had no intention of moving back to Thailand. It would be good if my son has the option of moving with us, even if it's only for a year or two.

Would this be an issue? Cheers

So a DTV holder cannot open a bank account. I tried all of them. Can I issue a Thai drivers license?

We're intending to apply for the DTV and then rent a house in Chiang Mai for a few years (kids will attend a private coop group). I understand we need to border hop every six months but I want to know is it necessary to go to different airports so it doesn't look like we're trying to be permanent residents?

We won't stay longer than five years but when I think about it we're not necessarily 'tourists'. Thanks

DTV Muay Thai

Has anyone who lives in Thailand applied for the DTV using a condominium or house in Thailand? I'm concerned about filling in my home country since my bank statement is from a bank in Thailand.

I am currently on the Thai vise website, I am applying in Hanoï.

They ask for your home address, should I put my address in Vietnam or in France (I'm french).

I can select that my permanent address is not the same as my current but I don't know in which order I should put them as both address are called home address.

Thank you

I hold a UK passport and currently staying with malaysian friends in Penang as a 90 days tourist.

I have deposit funds and landlord ready for a one year contract ready. I'm +60yo.

Im intending to apply online for the Non O visa before I travel to Thailand in mid July.

My questions are:

How do I provide proof of current address when I apply for the Non O.

Can I use my MDAC? Should the family im living with write something?

How soon before I travel should I fill in the application for the Non O?

Thank You for any help you're able to suggest.
