visa

Florida Michelle

My husband, me and our two kids 3&5 are planning on moving to phucket next year. He will qualify for his retirement visa. My only question is I'm only 41 and was wondering if me and the kid's can be attached to his visa as dependents or do we have to get visas on our own? He has 178000 BHAT  in pensions coming in every month so financialy there is no problem.
