I actually haven't heard of that Visa so I will do some research to see if this will work out as well. Thank you for mentioning it.

@Jeremy *******

Thank you for this information. I plan on already coming over with a remote job. That is a must for me because I didn't want to just rely on my savings. When I visited I seen just how different the prices were in certain areas and that I quickly overbought things because it was so cheap. So my goal is to have income still coming in while I really learn how to budget and adjust to the local lifestyles.

Thank you for this information. As a follow-up, what did you mean by an "instant access bank account"? Are you saying the money will have to be in an account I would use overseas like Wise, Revolt, Charles S. or Chime??

@Travis ********

As I stated above if my job doesn't allow me I already prepared and started looking elsewhere for remote opportunities. My question was about the Visa requirements. Thanks!

To answer your question, yes I did visit. I have been to Phuket, Hua Hin and Bangkok. I wanted to make sure that this move would be okay for me and my children. I also want to know why do people assume when you ask a question they haven't visited yet or even want to visit yet before they move? Also everyone's US lifestyle is not the same. TBH mines was similar so it made me even more comfortable about this move. Thanks for the advice anyway!

Thank you for this information. Just for clarity, they want to see the actual funds not just them knowing I have a house that I will be selling for the funds or my yearly salary won't count either? Also would it be easier to move first on our tourist visa then apply for the DTV after that? In the event I cant sell my house 3 months before we leave??
