ORIGINAL POSTER
I’ve been trying to figure out the best visa option for me. I’m kind of in between requirements. I’m under 50 so ineligible for a retirement visa. My intentions are to stay in Thailand 5-7 months out of the year. I have a pension that pays $80K a year, I’m employed, but plan to leave my current job and work part time online.

Would I be eligible for a 10 year long term visa, or am I restricted to a regular tourist visa, or multi entrance visa?
