What are my options for staying in Thailand long term that doesn’t involve going up to immigration every 2 months? I am 26 years old and already married so retirement and marriage visa are not an option for me.

TLDR : Answer Summary
For a long-term stay in Thailand without the need to visit immigration every two months, your main options include obtaining an Elite Visa, enrolling in a study program, or securing employment in Thailand. The Elite Visa allows for a five-year stay and starts at 600,000 THB.

The only option is an elite visa, study, or to get a job. An elite visa allows you to stay five years.

This starts at 600K THB for five years.

Based on the information given to the group, there's nothing else we can recommend.

Thank you

Already married to whom? Is this person a foreigner working in Thailand? Are you legally working?

she's on a visa exemption based on previous posts in another group. She claims to have lots of money so the elite visa might be a possibility...if true of course.

if she was legally working then she would already have a long term visa, no?
