John ********

thanks mate. I thought so, just clarifying.

Also ELIGIBLE FOREIGNERS

#3 Spouse and dependent Children of DVT holder.

I think I mistook that for Spouse of Thai National. So me having a Thai Wife (spouse) I am not eligible? Still have to do the Marriage Visa?

Thanks

What visa options are available for moving to Thailand for a family with a 50-year-old mother, an 18-year-old brother, and a 30-year-old sibling?

John ********

Try first 6 months in Chiang Mai and 2nd 6 months Hua Hin or PKK, a bit further south. You'll miss the Smokey Season in Chiang Mai, which is approximately February to May, give or take a few weeks.

Or even try 4 different locations at 3 months each.
