What are the options for obtaining a tourist visa in Thailand for several months of travel?

David ********

Why are you asking this question here, rather than asking the Thai embassy in your country? Or look up the regulations online. It's unhelpful to ask what happens next -- it's whatever you want to happen. Just don't be tempted to use tourist visas if your real aim is long-term residence in Thailand.

What should I do if I want to marry a Thai lady but don't have my birth certificate?

David ********

You've been with a Thai lady seven years. What do you expect will change by marrying her? How will you benefit? Is she rich? How will she benefit from being married to you? Think it through. It's not about birth certificates or identity. It's about property rights, money, taxation, inheritance......

What are the non-monetary benefits of a Thai lady marrying a British man in Thailand?

David ********

What is the point of asking a question about marrying a Thai woman in Thailand and then add "excluding money"? The benefit for a Thai woman is all about money because it brings security and social status. No point asking the question if you exclude money from the answer.

What are my options for obtaining a long-term visa in Thailand as a tourist planning to retire?

David ********

You say you can manage the 800,000baht deposit, but you don't say if you have a bank account in Thailand. If not, you could have a problem finding a bank that will set up an account if you are on a tourist visa.

Do I need to show monthly income if I have the required 800,000 baht for a retirement visa in Thailand?

David ********

If you have the 800,000 on deposit you don't need the 65,000 income to get the visa. But do you have another source of income to live on? You can't work in Thailand on a Retirement visa.
