My wife and I would like to move to Thailand with our infant child July of 2016. We are both US Citizens. I currently work for a company based in America, and I would want to keep the job and work remote.  My current company wouldn't sponsor me or anything like that.

My question is, can I do this? Is there a visa for this kind of situation? I've heard of people traveling around Thailand that are bloggers and do freelance work for people outside Thailand.

My goal is to live there, get a drivers license, bank account, and call it home.

Short answer is NO there is not a visa for the situation you quote in OP.

There are visas available for legitimate work here with the appropriate work permit. There is plenty of info on this site and others on those ways.

Bloggers working under the radar.......you hear some stories, but do you really want to expose yourself, wife and child to possible circumstances?

The only real way to prosper here is to do it legally, which can be expensive, if you are below retirement age(50 for visa purposes).

There are easier destinations in SE Asia.

What easier destinations do you speak of?

How about giving a little more information please.
That way people can assess what you have posted and make their own evaluations.

Dear Expat-Blog members,

I saw many misinformation and wrong guidance in reply to his question.
I dont understand why  allow promotion of -ELITE VISA-...which could be a s*** and not related to OP situation and why you  aloud promotion of illegal activities. As working on educational visa.
It is not true that he cannot make working visa and situation is not black and white.. he has many option to settle his family.  There are so many types of visas also... Genuine one, not s***, I provide you a link with official immigration authority translation of immigration law. link

Hi
The Police Orders you link to were replaced from 29th August 2014. Thai Visa extensions are now subject to new police(immigration) orders. Prior to August 2014 Police Order 777/2551, 368/2551, 305/2551 and 118/2551 were the regulations that covered the criteria for granting an extension of stay in the Kingdom and the documents required to apply for such extension. For example, information about extensions based on retirement, marriage to a Thai and attending an education course in Thailand can be found in Police Orders.

The new Police(immigration) Order 327/2557 now covers the criteria and conditions for an alien application for a temporary stay in the Kingdom of Thailand. While Police(Immigration)Order 138/2557 now covers supporting documents(required) for consideration of an alien application for a temporary stay in the Kingdom of Thailand.

Anyone who would like to read the current which cover EXTENSIONS of stay in the Kingdom can do so by clicking on the link.

thank you for your update,

although, it hasn't been any change regarding OP situation and case. Also I dont trust ThaiVisa forum information. but doesnt meter, in this "new" information, they added more options for visa seekers, if it is true, then his spouse and child have additional types of visas that they can apply.

I included the link to Thai Visa since they have a translation of the new Police Orders which are real and came into effect last August. If you have a better one(translation) perhaps you would share it here so we can all look including the OP.
