What are the options for obtaining a long-term visa in Thailand as a veteran planning to relocate to Pattaya?

Do your homework. Everything seems to be in constant change around here. Also, I would recommend you look at Vietnam as an option.

Apply non o based on retirement before you travel that give 90 days on entry when you in the country open bank account and deposit 800k then take a trip to immigration ask for the list of requirements for one year extension and repeat to end of time. If you wish to leave the country buy a reentry permit to keep your visa alive

Being a VETERAN doesn’t account for anything with Thai immigration, only means something in your own country, doesn’t give you any PULL or extra benefits here.

You are just another number on the system. Welcome to Thailand.

Get an agent to help you is your best bet.

How old are you? If you’re over 50, and you can scrape together ฿800,000, a retirement visa is probably your best bet. You can apply for a non o in your home country. It’s good for 90 days. Once you arrive, you put ฿800,000 in a bank account in Thailand, which you can open because you have your long-term visa. And then once the money has been in the account for two months you apply for a one year extension.

Alternatively, if you have $80,000 in passive income per year and you are over 50, a long-term resident wealthy pensioner visa is also very good.
