What is the best visa option for staying in Thailand long-term without facing immigration issues?

Bob ********

I would be more worried about a couple of other things you said, I have met someone, and I am opening a business. After 50 yrs of being around Thailand, all I see is another Farang being set up for a fall. You may be the exception, but Thailand does have rules and you are breaking several of them, be careful!!

What are the options for an Italian citizen born in Thailand to stay and work legally while obtaining a national ID?

Bob ********

For a start you. will need your original birth certificate, it has a registration no, that will identify you on the national database. If one of your parents is Thai you are Thai. If not you may qualify depending on how old you are, as they changed the rules. Good Luck
