What are the best long-term visa options for living and working in Thailand for a 51-year-old expat on a tourist visa?
Paul *******
Easiest is a retirement visa. 12 months for 1,900 baht if you meet the financial requirements.

You can't work with this visa.

What type of work are you looking for?

I think that you need 12 months of deposits. At least 65,000 per month.

@Todd ********
 the 800k in my Thai bank is not "costing" me 40k in interest.
