What are my visa options for staying in Thailand for a year as a UK citizen?
Hello, I plan on coming back to Thailand end of this year. I am from the uk and wonder what are my options on visas with how long I can stay? I want to stay for a year if possible, is this possible on multiple entry visa?
Answer summary
A UK citizen can stay in Thailand for 30 days with a visa exemption. Alternatively, a 6-month multi-entry tourist visa can be obtained online from London for £150, allowing for a total of up to 9 months with two border crossings.

@Thomas *************
you have to have a job before you can apply for a work visa. The multiple entry non-B is a pretty rare visa.

if you're not going to be working you can get a multiple entry tourist visa from your home country before traveling. This visa type is only available from your home country.Thomas **************
