Hello to everyone,
I apology in advance if my question has been previously asked and answered.
I plan to go to Thailand for long term but i am not over 50 to apply for a retirement visa, also saw elite visas but I can't afford them at the moment.
Which visa would you suggest me? I've got a Spanish passport so if i am not wrong, the first 30 days are covered and then I could extend another 30. After that period, is when i am not sure. I've hear about paying a school to learn Thai and they help me to get a student visa that works for a year. Is that the best option? And after that 1st year, what would be the next way to continue with a visa?
Appreciate your help.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking advice on visa options for long-term stays in Thailand, particularly because they are under 50 and cannot apply for a retirement visa. They mention the possibility of initially entering Thailand on a tourist visa for 30 days (extendable for an additional 30 days) and inquire about obtaining a student visa through a Thai language course. Comments suggest the user may look into a multi-entry tourist visa for a longer stay, with extensions possible, or consider an education visa, with the caveat that regulations have become stricter. Alternatives mentioned include employment visas or marriage to a Thai citizen.
