Hi, I want to return to Thailand on a more long term/full time basis and have been looking into applying for a Non OA multiple entry 1 year Visa. I meet all the requirements, but with all the restrictions in place, Covid 19 complications, plus cost it's seems a bit of a painfull and worrying process. Wondering if I might be best served looking at another type of visa and then once I am out there exploring other possibilities in which to stay.
A bit of background about me. Been going out to Thailand since the late 90's, from the UK and just turned 50. Enough money in a British bank account to meet criteria. I have a Thai partner and we want to get married when we return to BKK. Plus I also have an 11 year old Thai born/Thai national daughter who also lives in the capital.
Any advice, tips or pointers will be greatly recieved.
