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...

I'm so pissed off about some comments here. I've got the visa, I can work here remotely for overseas companies, I can pay taxes here, I can stay here for 5 years (with flights every 6 months). I don't have to pretend I'm a tourist, because I'm not, and it's clearly stated in my visa and my other documents. Period.

Are you a lawyer and want to force people to use your services? Why do you spread misinformation?

Is there anyone entering to Thailand from Vientiane - Nong Khai border lately on border bounce purpose? Is there any abnormal situations? I'm just curious coz I'm gonna do that tomorrow.

After 60 days plus 30 day extension can you start another 60 days by crossing Lao border and returning?

I am married to a Thai man, I want to go to join him for 4months , but the criteria for o/a visa is difficult. I would be better off with tourist visa and extend for month! So 3 months. We have been married for more than 30years and it’s got more difficult.

👋 just joined and hoping for some insight into my best option for spending 6 months a year in Thailand 🇹🇭 from November to the end of April

I have an idea but open to hear other opinions, I have been climbing in Railay Bay and Tonsai Bay for over 25 years and now I’m at an age that allows me more me time!

My budget is limited so nothing extraordinary expensive

Do I need medical insurance before I visit Thailand.

Are there any drawbacks of living on a Non O Volunteer visa?

Hi Guys,

I currently have a NON-ED extension of stay which expires on 30th October.

I am legally married to a Thai so I would like to do the following:

1. Cancel extension of stay based on education

2. Immediately apply for a 60-day extension based on visiting my wife with required documents

3. Apply for one-year extension based on visiting my wife with required documents and evidence of funds in my account for 60+ days

Please can you confirm this is definitely possible and the correct way to do things?

Many thanks

Quick question.

My wife and I will apply for 'retirement' visas shortly.

The required cash in the bank is THB 700K.

We have a joint SCB account.

Will 700K suffice for both upon application, or will we need to prove 1400K?

Thanks.
