Is it possible to get a 6 month visa anymore without the bank account or signing up for school? I am here on a 30 tourist extension and think I can do one border run next month to equal 90 days total but would like to stay another 90.
Answer summary
The possibility of obtaining a 6-month visa to Thailand without a bank account or enrolling in school is limited. Current options include a multiple entry tourist visa (METV), which can allow for a stay of up to 8 months through border runs, or a 60-day tourist visa applied for outside of Thailand. Countries like Vietnam and Laos may offer METVs to non-residents, enabling entries of 60 days each time.

Both Vietnam and Laos appear to be issuing multiple entry tourist visas METVs to non residents at this time which is a 6 month visa that gets you stamped in for 60 days each time you enter. Not aware of anywhere else that does this other than your home country

Tam Ara There is no fixed limit how many border runs you can do ( except land borders run max 2 ) Every time you enter with visa exempt you can stay maximum 30 days plus 30 day extension in the local immigration office But you will limited to stay in total 180 days by your last stamp If you use the e-gates you probably will already called to the manual gate when checked you got a certain amount days. It makes no difference if you will come on short stay visas the limit is 180 days the visa only grants you to enter between a certain begin and end date, the IO can always tell you cannot enter or limit your stay depending your status For long stays Visas there al lot more needed requirements

Tam Ara you can apply and get the 60 day tourist one outside Thailand , but and its a big but , the Immigration Officer could and very well might refuse your entry . No one on here can predict the outcome .
