Hello, I am seeking expert advice on relocating my family to Thailand in June 2026. My children will be 17, 14, and 13 years old, and I am unsure about the specific visa requirements. Chat GPT suggested that the DTV would be the most suitable option for us. I plan to homeschool my children initially and later explore other educational options. As a remote federal employee, I anticipate continuing in my role abroad, but I am also exploring alternative employment opportunities. I am currently pursuing TEFL and Cybersecurity certifications. Although I do not have substantial savings, I expect to receive $100,000 to $150,000 from the sale of my house and additional funds from selling our belongings. However, I am concerned about meeting the income and asset requirements, particularly if the necessary funds are not available in my account at the time of application. I wont be able to sell my house till around March when it is closer to the time we leave. The price for a monthly rental here in PA will run us at least $5000 which is a lot so if i can stay here as long as possible I will. Can someone explain the financial guidelines to me? Will my current job count as income or my house as assets? Can anyone recommend a professional in Pennsylvania who can assist me with the visa application process? Hopefully I am making sense. Thanks in advance!

Edit for all the enquiring minds:

My husband receives a steady monthly income from the VA. We will have DTV visas. We homeschool our children and will be be putting them in muay thai. Thanks for all of your input and concerns for our family. P.S. we've done a lot of research but are also looking for feedback from people who are actually familiar with the areas.

Hi, we are a family of 5 looking to move to Thailand by the end of the year. I would like opinions on Hua Hin vs Chang Mai for families. TIA

Options for a family of six? Dad and Mom want to study the Thai language (actually want to study thai, not just for visa.) Kids are homeschooled, ages 16,13,11,7. Is it possible to get a dependent visa for all four kiddos?

Are there any online schools teaching Thai curriculum

For age 9 upwards that would accommodate home schooling from Malaysia or Hong Kong ?

Hello, thinking of moving over with my two children but at the moment just researching

Please can anybody give me any advice, tips etc please.

Thank you. I am a single mother

Question: Some years back I was told there's a global homeschool conference which meets annually in Thailand but, I seem to have forgotten the name of this group. Can anyone shed some light please? Thank you and cheers

If I am on a retirement visa and I homeschool my 14 year old, how does that work?
