He accepts he might have to do a border run but wants to keep it to a minimum. He may only come for 5 months so the 90 day visa in London + 60 day extension would fit the bill.

Thanks to everyone for their replies.

Thanks for the advice I was looking for. The topic can now be closed

I have a friend aged over 60 & married to a Thai who wants to come the Thailand every year for the English winter. He did not want to tie up THB800000 or show THB65000 every month in a Thai Bank.

I suggested a Multi Entry Visa from the London Embassy which last month they confirmed would be ok. However the Embassy has now stopped issuing these visas.

Can anyone suggest his best course of action, being that he does not want to keep doing visa runs.

I know several people who com to Thailand for their countries winter & who relied on the Multi Entry Visa who might want to winter elsewhere if there is not a viable option.

I & he would be thankful for anyones useful suggestions
