ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
A USA citizen planning to stay in Thailand from September to mid-November and then return frequently for projects should consider several visa options. A Non-O visa may be suitable if over 50, requiring a Thai bank account balance of 800,000 baht. Alternatively, a multi-entry Non-O retirement visa could be beneficial. Another option is the Long-Term Resident (LTR) visa, which many recommend if eligible. For frequent travel, using visa-free entry and extending stays in Thailand may be more economical than obtaining a visa, especially if leaving and re-entering the country multiple times.
