My conversation with Benjamin Hays on acquiring an "out of Thailand visa" at Argentina (US passport/Argentina residency) was paused until today. Visited the Thai Embassy Argentina and they require a US Passport holder to apply in the US for visa, regardless of having Argentina residency. So, avoiding a return to US, have the goal of living Thailand long term and going through the in country hoops to do so. Starting with entering on a 'Thai Pass', would appreciate advice on a scheme of the necessaries to make extensions and conversions to reach a Non Immigrant Visa, as a retired person. Am prepared to live with short term stays, extensions, and If necessary leaving and re-entering the country. From earlier advice it looks possible, just not stitched together yet into a plan. Thanks in advance your advice.
