ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi, I know I can apply for a O-A visa as I have done in the past, but if I’m just thinking of staying just 6 months, is there a another option I could consider ? Thank you so much in advance

TLDR : Answer Summary

If you're considering a 6-month stay in Thailand, aside from the O-A visa, you might want to look into the METV (Multiple Entry Tourist Visa) which allows for a stay of up to 6-8 months with proper planning and access to neighboring countries.
