Hi everyone
You have given me great advice in the past and before I ask this question iv tried to look through all the information available for an answer.
My friend UK based with a UK passport has only visited for 4 weeks maximum holiday 3 times a year in the past. He is retired.
He wishes to come Dec 1st to Feb 28th approximately for extended holidays. What is best for him visa wise without having to get extentions etc whilst here.
Thank you in advance
TLDR : Answer Summary
A UK retiree planning to stay in Thailand from December 1st to February 28th, totaling around 90 days, has a couple of visa options. He can apply for a Single Entry Tourist Visa, which grants 60 days upon entry and can be extended for an additional 30 days at a local immigration office for about 1,900 Thai Baht. Alternatively, if over 50 years old, he might qualify for a Non-Immigrant O visa, typically aimed at retirees. There is also a suggestion to consider a multiple-entry Tourist Visa which would allow for re-entry into Thailand without an extension, though this may require leaving the country temporarily.
