Give me option for Thailand visa where I don't have to exit. One year or plus

Hello

I am new here in the Group.

Can someone help me maybe?

I am 57 yrs old from germany.

I live in Krabi province southailand.

I need a seriously visa agency in the near from me.

I have only a small pension don't have 800 k for the warranty on a bankaccound in Thailand for can get a long-term visa.

Has anyone applied for the LRT(Long-Term Resident) visa type for 5+5 years? I plan to apply because i meet all the criteria, how long did the process take? As i understand, it is possible to apply both within Thailand and abroad through the embasy.

What routes have people taking to obtain this visa?

I'm thinking of the Muay Thai fighting gym route but I'm interested what else there is and what others have done

Being honest, I don't know if I could sustain that much training for five years

But I'm also confused about the five years. Can you stay ALL five years or do you have to leave for a fixed amount of time - like stay 180 days and leave 180 days before returning or can you return after 1 day, 30 days what ever?

I'm new to this so all and any info is helpful. Thanks!

🇹🇭 Has anyone experienced “comments” in the Thai immigration system?

Some travelers have reported receiving shorter stays or facing stricter questioning at the border after entering Thailand multiple times within a short period. In certain cases, visa agencies later confirmed that a “comment” (internal note) had been added to the traveler's immigration profile.

These comments are not visible and not officially communicated, but immigration officers can see them when scanning the passport. They may be triggered by recurring patterns such as:

Frequent entries and exits within a short timeframe

Short stays outside Thailand between entries

Behavior that resembles visa runs or long-term stays without the proper visa

This raises questions about how such comments might affect future entries or visa applications, and whether they can be viewed or removed.

Some common suggestions include:

Applying for an ED visa, which is possible if at least 45 days remain on the current permission to stay

If only 20 days remain, it may be too late to apply from within Thailand — applying from Cambodia might be safer

Using the e-Visa system, if applicable

Waiting a few months before returning, to allow the situation in the system to “cool off”

Any experiences or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

just had some good news from the Thai embassy in London, asking about the trouble we are having openings a Thai bank account at the moment and they said they except HSBC bank for a long term visa application, sounds good to me,

I am interested in applying for a retirement visa. Do I need to do that once I arrive in Thailand?

A friend said I have to open a bank account in Thailand. A few years ago, the requirement was $25,000 US for 6 months.

Can anyone advise ?
