Don't hold your breath!

Maybe you don't want a visa in the future with these words?

Where are you? Thailand is a big place with 77 provinces. Every province has his own setup and immigration.

I'm talking generally to see if he can live in Thailand for one year or for an extended period. Some people holidaying love Thailand, but living here especially after dropping USD 20k and hating it is an expensive mistake. But we are not all rich like you.

@Dan *******
between 30k and 70k in Chiang Mai, but you need to check in whatever province you live in.

Easiest to do it in Thailand but you may want to try a one year education Visa first to see if that works for you instead of putting all that money out there and then finding it doesn't work for you.

No consulates are giving dependent visas for kids so don't worry if they're all under 15 you won't have any problems at all.

It's a Ministry of Foreign Affairs problem and immigration don't care about kid's overstaying. It's just another stamping that passport which will disappear in a few years when they get a new passport.

Any visas can be scam visas even retirement visas old men! If you're not going to immigration yourself, in your own province then you're getting a scam visa.

So please shut up about dodgy education visas!

Make sure to get a visa and advice from people in the province you are planning to live in.

Yes the visas you are talking about work all over the country but look locally and have backup and support locally.
