ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
A retired person planning to visit Thailand for a total of 5 1/2 months on three separate visits may need specific visas such as a Non-O visa or a multiple entry visa. For those over 50, obtaining a retirement visa is recommended for flexibility in travel. Depending on the traveler’s nationality, they might also qualify for a 60-day visa exemption per entry, but it’s important to check for any potential issues with immigration officers upon entry.
