Hello,
I'm wanting to stay up to 1 year in Thailand. Just wondering what would be the easiest way to obtain a 1 year visa/work permit.
I am considering working under a company (friend's business) or teaching English. Any idea which would be easier and require the least amount of paperwork?
Currently I have a tourist visa but will be getting the non-immigrant B visa soon.
Thank you all in advance !
Sam
TLDR : Answer Summary
The easiest way to obtain a 1-year visa or work permit in Thailand may involve a few options depending on your situation. Options discussed include: working with a company, teaching English, applying for an education visa, or considering retirement for those over 50. Teaching English is highlighted as a rewarding path, especially if you have a university degree and good English skills. Some suggestions include checking out resources like www.ajarn.com for teaching positions. Additional advice includes looking into marriage for a simplified visa process. Overall, getting a Non-B visa through employment or teaching seems to require less paperwork compared to other options.
