learn to make and live off a budget

Overseas there are zero safety nets on foreigners…you either sink or you swim no in-between

triggered you so in the ballpark

@John ******

and the SES was their boss

@John ******

she will have to get high level (GS15 or SES ) approval for an overseas remote worker

Sounds like a lot of hurdles to go through

@John ******

most govt employees (GS grades) receive either the Red or Black passport to perform their duties overseas

Gemini AI is your best friend

@John ******

sounds good

But very few people get into that visa due to the stringent monetary requirements

@Adam *****

I’m guessing she’s either upside down on her mortgage or only has that much in equity in the domicile that will be her anticipated profit from the sale after taxe etc

If you want to work in Thailand you need to have a Work Permit not a DTV or other tourist visa (English teaching only averages around ฿45k a month unless you get a HISO international school or HISO university then the price per month goes up significantly)

DTV is the only Visa as of right now that allows you to remote work in Thailand all other touristy visas do not allow you to do this

$150k or ฿4.9 million baht for a family of 4 might last you 3 years if you manage it right

International school will cost you on average ฿375k per kid per year (฿1.2 million baht per year for your children)

…or higher…most school require the money upfront with no payment system

If you live outside the HISO high rise area you could find a 2-4 bedroom house for around ฿45k-฿60k a month

Food is on you…live like a Thai it will cost you around ฿25k a month…eat like a foreigner you’re looking at ฿40k-฿60k z month for you and your children

Transportation, entertainment, and international Travel will probably run you ฿100k-฿200k a year

And remember the FOREX rate changes daily so that means your budget will vary either up or down month to month

Good luck

I take it, it’s your first time dealing with Thai visas 🤣🤣

After you learn everything and become an Expert, Thailand will change everything and you will have to start over at Zero

T I T is all I’ll say

Good luck
