ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi everyone looking for some advice. Not looking immediately but I. The next year I was hoping to move to Thailand. 

I guess because of COVID visas are very different now. But can anyone advise what it was like or how I can get a long term stay in country. 

If a border visit is needed each 3 months it’s not the end of the world. But any advice would be really appreciated. Oh and I won’t be employed by any Thai company’s if that makes a difference. 

Thanks you 🙏🏼

@Stuart ********

No not over 50. I’ve seen the elite visa rather pricy so looking for other ways.

not so many options open for under 50. Volunteer, education (or elite).
