That sounds reasonable for inpatient, worldwide, renewable. If that is affordable for you, I would take it, as they only get more expensive to start as you get older. Most will have options to include or exclude the USA for anything longer than a few weeks.

, just Google Thailand visa, and you should get a list of the visas. Also, there is an online website (the name escapes me currently) for certain countries' citizens to apply.

You won't be able to become a Thai citizen. Resident, maybe.

You can get long term resident visas. You need to be over 50, have a job there, have a Thai child, or married to a Thai, to start a long-term visa process going.

NO.

How many times did you leave Thailand, and how long did you stay out each time? And were you actually travelling around Thailand? They may deem you don't need a Multi entry, and just give you a tourist visa.

They may also determine you are trying to live in Thailand, and suggest you apply for an appropriate visa.

Just some things to keep in mind.

In all legality, you have to show onward travel within your initial exempt or visa period in Thailand. Book a flight to Kuala Lumpur for the end of the initial visa period. Heck go hang out for a few days there. This will serve the purpose to get you into Thailand.

There are suggestions to bounce to Malaysia fairly often here. The FB search isn't the best, but the Malaysia bpunce advice is still the same

, is there a quarantine period? Youan not be allowed to bring a dog on a tourist visa.

As of right now, you cannot get a 1 year tourist visa.

@Brandon ***********

is right, a multi entry visa is your best bet. But that would also suggest to immigration that you need the multiple entries.

Also, you would definitely need a departing flight in order to get the visa.

You could also come in on the single entry tourist visa, extend, and then go travel to a different country, then return visa exempt. Your life would be easier if you are moving around Thailand, not staying at 1 address though.

But bottom line, whichever tourist visa you use, you will need to leave Thailand several times.

Are you incapacitated in any way? Most of that stuff is very easy to do on your own.

But anyway...

You may need to go to several different sources for most of that. There is food EVERYWHERE in Thailand, so there is no need to cook or be cooked for. And there is delivery everywhere.

As far as getting a phone, just go to the mall, buy a phone of your choice, and they will set the SIM and everything up for you. There are pharmacies everywhere too. Not sure why you would need to be set up for that. As for Doctors, just go to one of the hospitals (Like Bangkok Hospital) and register.

You say you are lazy. This is something I do not understand.
