@David *********
asked, have you actually been to Thailand, and know where you plan to stay?

Are you remote working for yourself? Or remote working for a company? The requirements are different for each. And if you plan to work as a teacher, that cannot be done on the DTV.

Will your oldest still be 17 when you come? I think they would be considered adult at 18 (Can someone confirm this??). The requirements might be different for them.
