I am hoping that sometime soon I'll be looking at a retirement visa in Thailand. The wife and I have spent significant time there and feel at home in Chiang Mai in a way we never have anywhere else. However, I want our next trip to be exploratory and long. I'd like to spend 4 to 6 months in SE Asia, visiting other places (we've been to every country in SE Asia, but never had time to do more than play tourist).
So I want a visa that will let me come and go for those 4 to 6 months and spend more than 60 days in Thailand. Maybe more than 90. I've been up and down the Thai embassy list of visas, and the closest I can find is the Digital Nomad visa. Do I have to actually have a job as a digital nomad to qualify? Can posting photos to Facebook count? Or is there some other visa that really does cover what I want?
