Hi everyone, I’m going to Thailand Phuket , I would like to know what type of visa I need for 1 year in Thailand? 

Thanks

Answer summary

For a one-year stay in Thailand, you may need to apply for a Multi-Entry Tourist Visa (METV) or a Non-Immigrant O/A visa, depending on your circumstances and plans. The METV allows multiple entries into Thailand for 6 months, granting a 60-day stay each time you enter, extendable by 30 days. It's important to apply for your visa close to your planned travel date, ideally 5 to 6 weeks in advance. Each Thai embassy may have slightly different processes, so checking the specific requirements of your local Thai embassy is essential.
