STV Visa TR Visa Visa Exemption O-A Visa Retirement Visa Thailand Immigration Expat Visa Options

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hey all, I am sorted for a visa, but I am seeking some advice for my dad, he's talking about applying for the STV (same as me), but I feel maybe another visa or process would be better for him. He wants to stay in the country for 4-5 months. 

My question is for everyone who has travelled on the TR visa or Visa excempt, how are you managing to stay in the country for longer than the 2/3 months which these visa's/excemptions allow? Also, is there a more suitable visa for a retired person? (note- he's unmarried, doesn't live in Thailand but spends many months each year there) 

many thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is looking for guidance on visa options for their father, who is considering applying for the STV visa to stay in Thailand for 4-5 months. They inquire about experiences with the TR visa and visa exemption in terms of extending stays beyond the typical 2-3 months and seek recommendations for a more suitable visa for a retired individual, mentioning that he is unmarried and spends several months in Thailand annually.
