Thailand retirement visa Thai long-term visa options Visa for expatriates Thai family law Marriage visa issues

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi I'm staring down the barrel of retirement in Australia and would like to live in Thailand

I have a 6year old Thai daughter. Not with her mum anymore. But I support and pay for her every month and continue to do so

I am noted on the birth certificate as her dad but have not been to the family law court to have me recognized by Thai law. 

It seems from what I read the retirement visa is becoming a little more difficult to obtain. 

And I could get married again but I've been told marriage visas are troublesome 

What is the best long term visa for me

Thanks
