Ken Chao. You can get insurance up to 75 which can be renewed until age 99.

OA you can border bounce close to the expiry of the visa and get a second "free" year. At the end of that year you can return to your home country and repeat the process. This method does not require transfer of any money into Thailand. You can get an in-country extension, but this means having either 800k in the bank (a very stupid process) or transferring 65k a month into a Thai bank account (most intelligent option).

Gary Harrison. It's not legit if you go through an agent to avoid having money in Thai bank account. A bribe is paid to the immigration officer. It's all ok if you don't get caught. If you are caught, you can get kicked out and banned for several years

Jim Butler. If you want an 'O' retirement visa you can get this at an immigration office, the OA you have to get from Embassy or consulate

Get a retirement visa. OA from your own country if you don't want to transfer money here, otherwise an O which requires 800k in the bank, or 65k per month transfer

Frank-Steven Eichholtz. There are long stay options for under 50's. ED visa, B visa, marriage visa, elite visa.

Vahid Yaghini. Border runs? Where have you been for the last two years?

Dave William. Wrong. You can ship in 65k baht a month. Yours to spend as soon as it hits the deck..I'd say that's VERY flexible!

Alex Andre. What

@Michael *******

has said is correct. The STV is available until September 30th. If you're prepared to jump through a couple of extra hoops, it could be a worthwhile visa for someone wanting to stay mid/long term. It's replaced the old "border bounce" scenario, as the 90-day bounces have been replaced with visits to immigration to extend. I'm sure it beats the shit out of sweating every 60 days wondering if the covid extension will be extended

Bruno Araujo. The covid extensions cost 1900 baht every two months, requiring in most cases two visits to immigration. Total cost is baht for a year. I just extended my non-O for twelve months. One visit to immigration cost 1900 Baht for one year. I can't figure out how you see the covid extension as being more flexible and cheaper! 🤣🤣🤣
