What are the best visa options for staying in Thailand for 6 months?

James *********

I think u do the 60days...then extend 30days, then leave thialand & return with another 60days + 30 day extension, it makes no seanse as you can do that without the METV, altho it will probably give u peace of mind as I think your re-entrys are kinda guaranteed... holding the METV...I maybe wrong, im sure I will be corrected if so... 🧐

Can I switch from a monthly income option to an 800,000 Baht deposit for my retirement visa in Thailand?

@Michael ******

I totally agree... but a minority doing it correctly will not change things. and as Lee Johnson stated he is not happy transferring his money..

I'm just informing there is a loophole, if he wishes to go down that path it is there...
