I've been to Thailand several times but taking advantage of the tourist visa from 30 to 60 GG. I am retired and from January I would like to stop a bit more, say 3 or 4 months. What are the available options? I read something on the embassy's website but some things were not clear .... thank you for accepting me and thank you for any advices

Answer summary

The user, retired and having visited Thailand multiple times, seeks advice on how to extend their stay for 3 to 4 months beyond the standard tourist visa duration. They mention exploring the embassy's website but finding some information unclear. A commenter suggests that a 90-day stay is feasible through various visa options such as a Tourist Visa (with possible extensions) or a Non-O Visa for retirees over the age of 50, which allows for longer stays.

90 days is easy as there a few ways to get a 90 day stay without leaving Thailand (Tourist Visa (and, currently, Visa Exempt), 60 days + 30 days extension, Non-O over 50 (90 days)). Will you be visiting once a year or more because the Non-O over 50 plus the 12 month extension might suit such a plan?
