Hi Everyone!

I am French currently in Thailand near Hat Yai on a visa exemption. I am intending to leave to Malaysia on the 19th Feb in order to renew my time here.

I was thinking of doing a visa run by going to Padang Besar and coming back right away to get the 45+30 visa exemption pass.

Would it work to just pass the border for a few minutes and come back with a new visa exemption pass?

Another option that I consider is to get a tourist visa or a long-term visa.

What is the longest tourist visa that you can currently get? And what/where/how would I have to do to get it?

Are there long-term visa options? 

I will start my online business sooner or later,  yet I wasn’t planning to register it in Thailand.

Later on I plan to be employed by a Yoga place: I suppose you first need to get the job paperwork before applying for the work visa?

Thank you for your help!
