A tourist visa is also recommended as a feasible option, involving initial entry for 60 days, possibly extended with a border run. Additionally, the METV visa is mentioned as a potential choice. The conversation emphasizes the necessity to provide more personal information to receive tailored advice.

Maybe the DTV visa, but I couldn't tell you if you're elegible as you didn't mention anything about your background.

Is the 180-day visa and frequent flights in and out the best option for a 2-3 year stay in Thailand?
