@**
is it possible to open a biz (with Thai partner) and that would qualify me for long term Thai visa ?

@Nongnuch *******
Most likely true in this computer age ...if he was flagged. But why return to passport country ... he could simply go to Laos and practice Laotian Muay Thai or Malaysia. etc ?!

On the one hand Thailand promotes tourism ... a 6 to 9 mo visa would follow. Whether I'm "living" or a "toyrist" I'm still contributing daily to their economy. But I also am mindfully we are all just guests in their country.

Don't think this is right time for passive aggressive condescending attitude. If you don't approve of MuayThai take it up w Thai govt

I've even over stayed my extension 2 different times. They weren't happy but nothing about not allowing me back in (just pay fine). Knock on wood most agents very nice at land crossings especially compared w attitude you get from usa customers agents.

I believe 99% they offer 1 year visa ED ... school fee $1 k to $1500 ..... in case 5 yr option is not affordable

Each time I've applied for extension at CM 2 offices I've been asked for it but not at airport.

visa exempt I've never heard that term before after nearly 1 year dealing w Thai immigration. If it walks like a duck and quack like a duck ...it's a Duck ! All semantics

@Brandon ***********
I've been in Thailand since Nov 2023 ... each 30 days I go to immigration or border crossing and get an additional 30 days. Last time I got 60

So all of these fall under visa exempt? Some were land crossings / others I had to fly back in.
