I am an American, over the age of 50, who is interested in long term visa for Thailand. Not interested in Retirement or Marriage visa. What type of visa should I get? O? O-A? Do I get the visa in my home country? Thank you for your advice.
TLDR : Answer Summary
An American over 50 interested in long-term visas for Thailand, but not in retirement or marriage visas, should consider the Non-O and Non-O-A visas. The Non-O visa is often linked to retirement, while the Non-O-A visa allows for longer stays. Obtaining these visas must be done through a Thai consulate in the individual's home country, where specific documentation such as a police background check, medical certificate, proof of funds, and health insurance is required. Alternative options like the Thailand Elite visa may also be worth considering.
