I need some advice. My goal is to live in Chiang Mai long term, but I have family obligations that require my return to US every two months. I am of retirement age. What is my visa option(s) for this situation? I don’t want to risk denial of entry as I truly am not a tourist and would like to have a contracted residence, bank account, DL. Thank you for consideration.

How large are Visa and Multiple Reentry stamps?. - I would imagine that if one travels in and out of Thailand fairly frequently you would likely need additional pages added to their passport. Is this common? Thanks

Re-entry Permit: would you advise, if multiple re-entry permit starts counting from the day applied (and not for a calendar year Jan-Dec)

Hey guys, I am currently on a non-immigrant B visa for 3 months before getting my work visa sorted and planning some trips outside of Thailand. I know that if get out of Thailand without a re-entry permit...I'll have to start my non-immigrant B visa process all over again (which I really want to avoid). I want to travel several times outside of Thailand during these 3 months. What is the easiest way to do a re-entry? I know that you can do it at the airport...but can you do that several times? Is the visa counter before or after the immigration? Thanks a lot for your help!
