Anyone can be a tenant. You don't need a Thai wife for that!

Nobody cares about 90-day reports once you've left. You just enjoy scare mongering..

And I "might" get hit by a bus, or I "might" win the lottery, or I "might" get to the moon one day

Whether you have built a 5-bedroom mansion on the river in Bangkok, or you rent a studio squat in the Khlong Toei slum makes zero difference to visas. You can get a "married to a Thai" visa which you will need to extend each year, and each year you have to prove to immigration that you're still married. Another option is a "retirement" visa, which is dependant on finances (either savings or income). Probably the best hassle free visa is the Long Term Resident Visa for Wealthy Pensioners, which is ten years multiple entry, and costs only 50,000 baht. It's the most hassle-free if you meet the criteria

He's pretty close as far as land ownership is concerned. Foreigners cannot own land in Thailand - end of story.

If an agency cannot guarantee re-entry they won't take you. They look at your history first. A while back they were declining anyone with an ED or Volunteer stamp in their passport

@Wayne *******

There's also no such thing as a retirement visa. People get so easily confused with terminologyy

@Stephan **********

They don't. I've done it many times. They're not interested in past history of 90-day reports. I'm in and out of the country 3-4 times a year, I seldom do a 90-day report

Don't worry about it. You'll be leaving the country soon, and airport immigration don't care about 90 day reports. It resets when you re-enter

The non-immigrant O visa IS the retirement visa
