TLDR : Answer Summary
To stay in Rawai, Thailand for more than three months, your daughter, who is English and a digital nomad, can initially apply for a single entry tourist visa from the Thai consulate in Jakarta. This visa will allow her a 60-day entry, which can be extended for an additional 30 days for a fee. For longer stays, she might need to consider other visa options, such as a Non-O visa, especially if she intends to stay for approximately two years.

 No matter what she WANTS to do once she's here, her best course of action would be for her to get a single entry tourist visa from the thai consulate in Jakarta Indonesia before she wings here way here 🙂

That will give her 60 days when she stamps in and she can extend that for 30 more days once she is here

Those 90 days will give her time to look for other longer term visa options

She meets these requirements to get that Single Entry Tourist visa in Jakarta

Does she has a passport and if yes from which country?

What is the reason why she want to stay long time in Thailand?

Just based on being a daughter who wants to stay 3 months it is impossible to give any correct visa information.

 thanks, that leaves out most of the visa options. To work in Thailand she needs the

Non Immigrant B visa with work permit, issued with support of her employer or business partners in the company.

a Smart Visa with support BOI

a LTR Viss with support BOI

 if your daughter is currently in Bali and has no flights booked, she could fly to Kuala Lumpur (cheapest of the other local 'big 4' air hubs) and get her single entry tourist visa from the Thai embassy there. May be an easier experience than Jakarta if she has not been before, and likely to cost a similar amount for the travel expenses. Plus she could enjoy Malaysian food for a couple of days while she gets through the visa application and collection process, a refreshing contrast to the also-delicious Masakan Padang 😉 "...wants to run a business there" In Thailand? Or remotely from Thailand?

what is the nationality of your daughter?

there is no thai consulate in Bali (that consulate didn't re-open after covid), you have to get visas for thailand in Jakarta.

As Lloyd said, have her get a single entry tourist visa, that will let her get in on a 60 day stamp and she can get one 30 day extension for 1900baht after she's here.

That will give her time to LOOK for other longer term visa options

 OK thank you. She is English and wants to stay for at least 2 years. She is 36. She is a digital nomad. I used to live in Thailand with a one year non-immigrant O visa.

 just because she wants to stay for 2 years doesn't mean she can. She doesn't have many options being under 50.

Else the only other visa would be a single entry tourist visa which would give a 60 day entry and a 30 day extension

You can apply at a local embassy or consulate for a single entry, a multi-entry needs to be applied for in your home country

Alicia Croce A single entry TOURIST VISA gives a 60 day initial entry. You are thinking of a visa exempt entry which is 30 days - totally different

If you are married, (and your wife is Thai), your daughter may be able to apply for a single entry Non-O to visit her step-mother, if that was granted, she may then be able to apply for a 60 day extension of that.
