What visa options are available for yacht workers in Thailand looking to start a business?
Hi guys, need advice on visas, I work on yacht around 4 to 6 months our of the year. Is there a better suited visa than the metv? As currently getting thar twice a year and don't really fancy forking out for the elite visa as looking to start a business in the next 2 years. Any advice much appreciated
Answer summary
A community member inquired about alternative visa options for frequent visits to Thailand while working on a yacht for several months each year. They currently use the METV but are exploring better options, noting concerns about using the METV twice a year and not wanting to opt for the Elite Visa due to future business aspirations. Suggestions from commenters included considering a DTV visa for those with medical grounds and meeting financial criteria, as well as exploring options in other countries like the UAE.
