There are several ways to obtain a long-stay visa for Thailand, depending on your purpose of stay and the length of your stay. Here are a few options to consider:
- Non-Immigrant Visa: This type of visa is available for those who wish to stay in Thailand for a longer period of time for reasons such as work, study, or retirement. The Non-Immigrant Visa can be valid for up to one year, and can be renewed for additional periods of time. To apply for a Non-Immigrant Visa, you will need to provide supporting documents such as a letter of employment or enrollment, a police clearance certificate, and proof of sufficient financial support.
- Retirement Visa: This type of visa is available to those who are 50 years of age or older and wish to retire in Thailand. To qualify for a Retirement Visa, you will need to prove that you have sufficient financial resources to support yourself during your stay in Thailand, and that you have a monthly income of at least 65,000 Thai baht (approximately 2,100 USD).
- Marriage Visa: If you are married to a Thai national, you may be eligible for a Marriage Visa, which allows you to stay in Thailand for up to one year. To apply for a Marriage Visa, you will need to provide proof of your marriage and evidence of sufficient financial support.
- Education Visa: If you are enrolled in a full-time educational program in Thailand, you may be eligible for an Education Visa, which allows you to stay in the country for the duration of your studies. To apply for an Education Visa, you will need to provide proof of enrollment in a recognized educational institution and evidence of sufficient financial support.
