I am about to leave and meet with a visa expert to get an idea what's best for us.

If my husband dies while we are travelling, I and the kids will return to the US as soon as possible anyway. We are not planning to make Thailand our permanent home, we are just nomads travelling around for 1-2 years. Just finished our 6 months in India!.

If the kids can also tag along as dependents on their dad's retirement visa they wouldn't need ED visa right?

I like Chiang Mai and like the school where the kids are enrolled. I hope we get our visa extended.

Or, would it be better to apply husband a retirement visa and we all tag along as dependents?

Thank you

Thanks for all the valuable informations.

We misundestood about the requirements right from the begining. Our visa expires May 16th, 2013. No time to open a new account.

Is there a way for us to extend our visa?.

Our joint account has 800,000 baht. Can I take my husband's name off the account so that it becomes solely my account and I apply an extension as guardian of both kids.

Husband is over 50. Can we apply him a retirement visa based on his income. Does Thai immigration accept an affidavit of income sworn at the US embassy?

Thanks again.

Husband and I are in Thailand on dependent visa o for our two children who are on Ed visas. We opened a joint account deposited a 800,000 baht. Is this amount enough to extend our visas or do we actually need 800,000 each as we both are guardians responsible for each child according to our original visa applications back in our country?. Thanks!

Can anyone tell me what is the current pollution index in Thailand please? My twins need to get out of the AC room:-)
