What is the best visa for staying in Thailand?
What the best visa?
Answer summary
The best visa for staying in Thailand depends on your qualifications and the purpose of your visit. Users suggest consulting an immigration agent and emphasize that you should choose a visa based on what you qualify for rather than seeking the 'best' option. Discussions highlight the NON-O visa for long stays, as well as considerations for a potential path to citizenship after three years. Other mentions include the Elite visa.

You don't pick visas based on what's best. You pick the visa you qualify for that suits your purpose of staying in Thailand.
