Now hoping for a smooth immigration process 🤞 (touch wood)

Hi ,

I just retired @65

I have a Thai partner (living together in Europe for last 3 years , will marry sometime this year ) , I also have a freelance job working 2 months on 2 months off which visa should I apply for ?

Got my first dtv stamp today from BKK airport.

Process pretty simple from Vancouver, Canada. My proof of work was just a freelancer website certificate of earnings. Cost was 650$ CAD (~17K BAHT).

Immigration officer actually had to call another one over during the stamping process as she hadn't seen one before. Asked me if I was working (said yes, online). Asked me how long I was planning on staying, I had to book a flight out for visa requirements so used that date 63 days out.

As far as I know, just have to leave for one day and can come back on the same visa, right? Until expiry? And can extend it once for 10k baht? So I'll just have to keep showing this e-visa for 5 years?
