So we have finally made the decision to set a date and move to Phuket (I already own a condo there). We are both on Australian passports, I’ll be 52 and my partner 42 we we plan to leave. We aren’t married.

I understand that I can do the retirement visa but what type of visa is best for my partner? Or me for that matter, we do intend to use Phuket as base for other travel outside of Thailand but would like maximum flexibility. No interest in student or elite visas. We can cover the financial requirements of the retirement visa also.

An sensible advice would be most welcome, TIA
