Yeah I have looked into Iglu. They filter your clients' payments through their system and tax it. Its kind of scammy with the percentage they require to give you a work permit. I don't think its a very good option for anyone who makes less 7500$ a month. =/ I am interested in starting a business and trying to use the America/Thailand treaty for 100% ownership.

setting up a branch in Thailand is interesting but I assume there are heavy start up costs? Do you have any articles you could point me to for me to read further on the subject?

I'm familiar with Iglu but they want to tax 30% of your own paycheck filtered through their business. Are there similar alternatives to Iglu? Or are none established yet?

@Rob***

curious, how does one obtain a work permit and non Imm b for online work?

That is true. They can go onto overstay without blacklist or banning. Maybe not the most rule abiding way.. but there are no consequences for parents or children in that situation

You can obtain an education visa for learning English. It isn't about the subject being learned, more importantly that the school is capable of producing the documents for the proper visas.

Honestly, that would be something to discuss with the school. They will be able to give you the info and paperwork needed. I think the above thread may be of some assistance with explaining the guardian visa option.

Or purchase elite visas for you and your wife and obtain education visas for your children

Have you considered enrolling your children in an international school? Then they can come in on an education visa and I believe as parents you can ride on their education visa as they are your dependants instead of purchasing so many elite visas.
