thank you

@Graham *****

would have thought that being a tourist spending money, having a return flight booked and not overstaying would be the requirements.

@Len ****

can you think of a better, cheaper way? If all goes well, I will be going for the retirement visa next year, so I don't want to blot my copy book with immigration.

@Max ************

do you need many documents? I haven't properly looked at it, I think I assumed that it was just a straight forward tourist visa that you paid for.

Thank you very much. 🙏

Thank you

surely I need METV because I am a tourist and they don't do a 6 month visa where I do not have to leave the country in that time. That is the proof. All I want is to look around their country for 6 months, quite happy to have a return ticket to leave within 6 months, can show proof of finance for the trip. It almost feels like they don't want people to visit and spend money finding out about their history and customs.

@Peter ******

Are you talking about the visa free 60 days? Do you think that I would get away with doing that and getting the second extension? What exactly does a border run entail? Are there specific points in the border that you need to go to? I will be based in Chaiyaphum. Tia

@Graeme *****

I will probably be spending most of the time based in Isan, but will be doing a bit of travelling. Not sure that Muay Thai for a 66 year old is a great idea 😂 A cookery course might work. I was in Thailand in March for a month, first time in about 10 years.

@Garrett **********

Would I need to do anything to qualify for that, I am 66 years old, Tia
