Hello everyone!

My girlfriend and I (German and Austrian)

are planning to go to Thailand for around 6 months.

What are our best options to do this properly with Visa?

As far as I understood there are two options:

A) Enter the country as normal tourist, get a 30 day visa and then extend to 60 days. After that we have to leave the country and can come back with a new tourist visa? Is that correct? Or will we have to leave permanently once the 60 days are over and cannot come back.

B) Apply for a Multiple Entry Visa. Where exactly can I do that? Our flight is in 15 days already. Is that sufficient time?

Is it also possible to enter the country with a normal visa and then apply within the country for the multiple entry visa?

C) I assume there is also a way to go with Visa agencies. Is that recommended?

Many thanks in advance!

Hello everyone.

I'm planning to travel to Thailand in the beginning of march and to stay at least 3 months.

What would be the best visa option for me? A regular tourist visa (60 days) and then extend it for another 30 days, or is there a better option?

I'm from germany

Any advice is appreciated.
