What are the best visa options for staying in Thailand for 4 to 5 months during winter?

Last year we entered for 60 days, then left for Vietnam for 30 days and reentered for another 60 days and one 30 day extension then home. We had all airfares booked but never requested to see them.

Best option leave her

6 month multiple entry tourist visa

60 days free visa from uk, flight over to Vietnam and stay up to 45 days free visa then fly back to bangkok or home from vietnam like i'm doing.

Tourist visa

Depending on where you’re coming from, at least I know from the US you can only come for two months and then file for an extension in the second month for one month. No, 4 to 5 months anymore.

Take care, it's not so easy.

This year, immigration denied me a visa extension of 30 days : they only allowed 7 days, because i had a extension last year.

A friend of mine, after two months in Thailand, went to Laos for a month. Upon returning, he had a lot of difficulty getting back into Thailand and obtaining a 60-day exemption.

So, it's your own situation who will tell what you have to do.

Never come ? Ok

Or have some visa run or extension in passeport : make a visa retirement

Can I get a 30 day extension with a Non O 90 day visa giving me 4 months in Thailand?

We went to extend our stay by 30 days yesterday all set too change we were told even immigration people couldn’t tell us as they said they don’t know. So I’d hold fire

Multiple entry tourist .

You can not be sure they will not change the visa exempt in the middle of your trip

MMMMMM Interesting. So i get a FREE 60-day visa in Thailand then skip to Laos and Cambodia for say 30 days. Then i can come back into Thailand for another FREE 60 day visa then get a PAID 30 day extension if need. As long as i don't spend more than 150 days in Thailand in a calendar year. CORRECT??

I would try the Thai government website. 😛

how long can you stay in thailand without a visa?

I used to alternate between Langkawi in Malaysia 90 days and catch the ferry to Koh Lipe and check into Thailand and get 60 days and travel round Thailand and then back to Langkawi for another 90 days visa

Thailand is an amazing place just not a sex hub. I agree with a lot of people that are not everybody goes there to be a whore anyway you can go 60 days you an extension for another 30 while you’re still in the country and then you just leave the country and then you can get another 60 days stamp and then you can get another 30 days extension so technically you can stay there for six months with no paying extra Visa cost if you plan on staying more than six months then yeah you need to get a tourist visa which will grant you another 90 days for 200 and something dollars. I forget how much but you can technically stay a whole nine months without spending a lot of money and the paperwork minimal you just need to have at least I believe don’t quote me but I think 20 or ฿40,000 proof of income

As of right now, on your UK passport you have visa exemption on arrival 60 days. Can be extended another 30 days. Go to Laos for a few weeks, then come back to Thailand for the same.

Did the same exact thing in 2025. 90 Days + 3+ weeks in Vientiane + 90 days, then went home.

Go visit vietnam

Your taking your wife??

6 month Multiple entry tourist visa but you can only stay 60 days at a time every time you enter Thailand.

No visa required. Two 60 day visa exempt entries are no problem at all. I would suggest spending 2-4 weeks visiting some of the many other amazing countries in the region as well. So 60 days Thailand, 15-30 days outside, 60 days Thailand.

Probably just a tourist visa and do a reentry plus 1 extension if 5 months
