Hi, I am looking for any answers on applying for the DTV visa with children. I have 2 children and can’t get definitive answers on the amount that has to be shown for kids. I am a US citizen and I homeschool. I’ve heard only 500,000 baht has to be shown for all of us and I’ve seen 500,000 each. Has anyone done this yet? Thanks

Hi group, new here. What kind of visa would I need for me and my two kids to live in Thailand for a year. I won’t need to work but I’m hoping I could take some cooking classes and a free cooking apprenticeship or something around those lines. Also plan on home schooling but would it be possible to have them in an international school if I have a tourist visa? Lots of questions. Thanks in advance

Does anyone know how a homeschooling family could get long-term visas to Thailand? the children don't go to school so they dont get the associated ED visa of course...

Need help with a visa for July. Want to stay for up to a year. 2 kids. I'll be making multiple trips out of the country throughout the year. 1 time a month. So is the process fairly easy, or should I hire an agency?

Thank you. The kids are homeschooling

I'm trying to sort through options for Thailand visas - we're teachers who need a break from teaching in China. We've been to Phuket before and love it.

1) Language visas are possible for adults but not for our kids. As we're qualified teachers we prefer to homeschool our own two rather than admit them to a school. We've been told we could let our kids just overstay as they won't incur a fine.

2) We've also been told volunteer visas are no longer allowed or being issued.

Can someone speak to that last point if it's true or not and if anything would happen with our kids being on overstay while we studied Thai?

I'm thinking about coming to Thailand in March with my daughter. I know staying for 6 months is an option for us but it looks like a really confusing process. I keep reading about 30 day extensions, covid extensions, 90 day check-ins, education visas, landlord forms and a bunch of other stuff and I'm totally confused. I homeschool my daughter so she won't be attending school there. We are both double vaccinated if that makes a difference. I would like to able to travel around Thailand freely without needing to keep going back to the original location to extend visas. What is the best & most stress free way to do this? 😊

Hello all, we are seeking to move to Thailand next year and exploring visa options. We will have two international students (our oldest children) and husband and I would come under the guardian visa. My question is what options might be available to get our two youngest kids into Thailand being that we would continue homeschooling them.

I cant help but ask - do you mean the Non-O visa + yearly extension can be used for a family with children, ie the family can live in Thailand without working, simply 'raising their kids' here?

And requirement is 500,000b, seasoned in a Thai bank? We home school our kids and would love to raise them here (no working here as we have an income from renting our house in our home country, NZ), is it really possible? We are currently visiting on 6mo METV.

I have lived in Thailand for 5 years volunteering, however I am no longer volunteering, and I am looking at returning and doing an education visa. I am curently in USA, I am wondering a few things, 1. when I return to thailand, do I need to show proof of departure from Thailand? we bought round trip tickets from thailand, so I currently don't have a departure ticket. 2. Can my kids follow on a Ed Visa? they are homeschooled. 3. Can a spouse follow on a Ed Visa?
