Very simple. Get a tourist visa and then get sorted out when you get here.

I found this website many years ago and had trouble finding it again. It's very good.

it's very simple. There's about 4000 foundations in Thailand, find one that does things you like or passionate about. Then see how you can offer your services and come to an arrangement. It's probably a lot cheaper than the others, but may take more time.

I got a volunteer visa in January. Why? Because I am a real volunteer and have been for 12 years.

@Paul ****
it's all explained in what they put in your passport. I have 12 years of volunteer visas and used to look after 170 volunteers for a foundation so I know a little bit if you need to know more.

There's a lot more charges than the 1000 baht reentry. My suggestion is don't go anywhere.

You gotta try getting some COVID insurance that doesn't cover COVID to get back in.

You can't get off STV, you have to leave.

My suggestion is get a normal tourist visa and changeover to something else.

You basically get 9 months from the date you are stamped in with 2 extensions in the middle.

You can stay after September.

I suggest a tourist visa and changeover to something longer term. You will thank me later.
