Answer summary
For a UK citizen wishing to stay in Thailand for six months, the Multi Entry Tourist Visa (METV) is a suitable option as it allows entry for 60 days with the possibility of extending for additional stays. However, this visa may not allow for opening a bank account, which typically requires a long-term visa such as the Non-O visa for those over 50 or a retirement visa, also contingent upon providing proof of sufficient funds. It is advisable to consult embassy resources or engage with expat communities for detailed guidance and any updates on visa regulations.
