Okay I feel seriously overwhelmed trying to sort this all out. I have a family of 4 - myself I’m almost 50, wife is 37, kids are 15 and 18. I primarily make my income off of investing on the OTC and a very small trust check monthly as well. My trading account tends to have $100k or more liquid and $200-400k in play. We own a home in the US we plan to rent out while we aren’t there.

What is the best, simplest method to live in Thailand for 6-12 months at a time leaving to either another country or back to the US for a few weeks to a month or so annually?

My daughter being 18 would like to work there but my 15 year old will be continuing digital classes via a US school. I will continue to randomly swing trade while the wife will not work.

Best visa course of action with the process to get it done for a person who hates paperwork and really isn’t too great with crossing t’s and dotting i’s 😂

What are my best long term visas I should look into? I will be late 30s, from USA, fully retired living off my long term investments. Have no remote work nor plan or want to work at all. Is DTV soft power a good option? I don’t want to have to do cooking classes or Muay Thai every week for 5 years(though may end up doing Muay Thai anyways)

Should I just shell out the cash and get the elite?

Obviously once I hit 50 I will switch to retirement visa but need something for the next 11-12 years

Hi

Wanted to see what visa options were available if I was to fly over without a return ticket (estimated stay would be 3-6 months)

Thanks

Hi

I’m British from the in and want to go to Thailand for 6 months or so.

What are the best visa options?

Thanks!!!

I need some 'what kind of visa' advice from you for my current situation. Would be great to understand what is feasible and/or possible for myself and what you guys recommend:

- I live in Germany

- 50years old

- ready to step down from a well paid job and live from my savings for rest of my life

- own a Condo since 12years in Jomtien Beach

- have a Thai bank account

- travelled past 25yrs minimum 80x to Thailand all on 30/60 days stamps. Meaning 3-6times per year in average

- 4 stamps in my passport for 2025 so far btw...

- never extended or have any legal issues

- can provide any home financial requirements (leave my Thai bank account with necessary savings for spendings only)

- have spent money (ETF saving plan) which pays me 5.5k Euro/month for next 8years

- have a health precondition which excludes it probably from most insurances

- I spend 6months abroad from Germany with heavy travelling in and outside Thailand

What I am looking for is a visa which relieves me from checking or applying any trips in/out from Thailand most of the time. Meaning I love to travel and go to Lao, Vietnam, Cambodia etc. many times as well. So multiple entries etc. would be required.

Now I see there is DTV, LTR and other options but can't really figure out what makes sense while I don't really see a point for the Thailand privileged cards.

Health insurance I do currently for long termed travel insurance which only covers in serious situations and is better than nothing.

So for it's more health issues rather than financial aspects...

Hello to everyone? Does Thailand has now a 5 years visa to apply ?

Thanks.

If you don’t want to help you don’t have too .. but please don’t make stupid comments it shows how much ignorant and stupidity someone can have ..

I co-own a Thai company and I am registered as one of the managing directors.

I used to live in Thailand full-time so it made sense to have the yearly non-B visas and extend them every year at the immigration, but I recently moved abroad and only come to work in Thailand for a max of 3 months a year. We also no longer need the 4 employees and would like to scale down to 1 or 2.

What are my options now visa-wise? Ideally I would like to remain as one of the managing directors.

Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone! Me and my husband just married and plan to move to Thailand from the U.S. We purchashed a one way flight to Thailand for next month. The goal is to live in Thailand for at least a year. We think education visa would be best. However we’re not sure if we should purchase the classes and go with the education visa before getting there or getting an E-visa then changing to education visa once we’re there.

Hi, I’m getting ready to extend my visa for 30 days. After that, I need to figure out the best visa option.

To be honest, this whole visa situation is a bit of a headache. It feels like there isn’t enough clear or direct information online that outlines the requirements for each visa and where exactly to go.

It’s been frustrating so far.

Can someone tell me more about the visa options and also provide a physical address in Laos where I should go to apply for a visa?

I have money in the bank, but I’ve heard that I might not be able to access some of my own funds for certain visa types. Is that true? Do I just need to show my bank statements, or do I have to open a Thai bank account and go through all of that?

What’s the best option for someone who wants to stay long-term but also needs the fastest/easiest visa solution right now?

I have a question for the group what kind of visa do I need to apply for if I’m on social security disability to live in Thailand and does anyone know the cost . Also how do I get started and where do I go to do it .
