@Michael *******

- Yes... correct... But please take note: The Non Immigrant O-A Multi- Entry visa is in actuality a 2 year visa.. Just Exit Thailand and Reenter a day or two before the First year Expiry date.. You'll be stamped back in one year out to the next Expiry date

What are my options for staying in Thailand while looking for work in hospitality without a retirement visa?

Joe ***********

Your only real achievable method would be to start your own Thai Registered Company in a field that would allow you to make money in a business type you are allowed to be in. Not easy and it is costly.

What is the best visa option for a UK citizen over 50 to stay in Thailand for 6 months?

Joe ***********

Once in Thailand you can apply for an O Visa 90 days or in most any neighboring country.. Then that 90 Day O Visa can be Extended for One Year - No official Retirement status needed - none.. Just meet financial requirements.. No official Pension status needed.

The Multi-Entry O Visa is rarely issued anymore for just being over age 50.. The 90 Day O Visa is finished in 90 days.

Does my 90-day reporting period reset upon re-entering Thailand on a Non-Immigrant O Visa after a trip abroad?

Joe ***********

Please note: some immigration jurisdictions expect you to report to the immigration office within 24 hours of reentering Thailand. Some immigration offices do not. This is not related to your 90 day report. It is advisible to check your Imm office policy on this issue
