TLDR : Answer Summary
A user from Germany seeks advice on the appropriate visa for a 98-day stay in Thailand. Recommendations include obtaining a single entry tourist visa valid for 60 days with a possible 30-day extension, and considering a 6-month Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV) as a more convenient option despite its higher cost.

I would always vet the 6 month even if you don’t use it full. Easier!

And the OP has good options for the 98 days stay...Enjoy Thailand...

the 6 month METV is 200USD (approx) versus an 40USD single entry tourist visa

AND the financial requirements are 7K USD in the bank versus what ever the are for a tourist visa..

As
@El***
said, once you get the 60 days from the tourist visa entry, the 30 day extension, go to the border stamp out of thailand, stamp in and out of another country and then stamp back into thailand to get a 30 day visa exempt entry :)

What magical/important about needing to stay 98 days? How did you arrive at that # ???

@James *******
I guess a certain flight connection.

BUY a single entry tourist visa from a thai consulate in Germany BEFORE you wing your way here.

That visa is valid for 3 months from the date you get it <- meaning you have 3 months to ENTER thailand. When you do stamp in you will get stamped in for 60 days and you can extend that for 30 more days at the immigration office where you stay for 1900baht
