Hallo me and my wife want to visit and stay 6 months

What visa type do we need?
Answer summary
To stay in Thailand for 6 months, you have several visa options: a multi-entry Tourist Visa, which allows you to enter and exit Thailand multiple times, or the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa), which is good for long stays. Depending on your country, you might also enter on a visa exemption for 60 days and then extend for 30 days. After this period, a quick trip to a neighboring country and re-entering could grant you additional time. It’s advisable to check the latest visa regulations through the Thai Embassy or consulate to ensure compliance.

No visa needed, you get 60 days on arrival and can extend for 30 more days. Then visit a neighbour country for 1-3 days and get 60 new days on arrival again and then extend for 30 more days. There’s your 6 months without any visa hassle. 🙏

Depends also if you are happy to leave for few days and come back.

If your country passport allows, you can get 60 days on arrival then extension of 30 days leave Thailand come back get 60 plus 30 extension this gives you 2 x 90 days

Extension cost 1900baht each time

I would be careful and check the taxes situation if you are there six months or more just to be on the safe side.
