Hi,

Thank you for your replies..Did not think of METV good idea that would be option 1...option 2 would be the marriage route because for sure I would be pulled at the airport coming in on exempts and tourists visa's every weekend...which to me is crazy as I don't work in Thailand but spend my money in Thailand..yet they want to make it difficult.

On a more general note this seems to be a hole in the visa system for people in my situation I have business visa's for other countries (ie Russia and China) 1 year Multi Entry easy process to  do..but for Thailand..na so easy..why am I surprised.

Hi All,

Here is my story..looking for advise.

I have been with a Thai girl for many years and she is great all is well very happy. I don't work in Thailand and at the moment travel abroad a lot so come back and spent a week every month with her..normally entering on a Visa Exempt or Single Entry Tourist visa.

I am now looking to change my job which will be  working for a European company but based in Singapore so looking to stay in Singapore during the week and come back at the weekends..so I will go form 10 ish in/outs to 50 ish in/outs.

What are my options? I don't want to get an Elite Visa as forking out 500,000 Baht in one hit is just too painful. The job in Singapore is well paid so no problem meeting any monthly financial requirements and I would consider marrying my GF if that was a good route we have talked about doing this before just never found the time.

Really just looking for options..opinions (never a problem on TV)..suggestions

Thanks for your help clear and simple advice just what I was looking for..my mind now at ease..be back at the weekend..yehhh.

Hi all..ok here is my situation. .and I am open to advice/opinions..except the stupid ones of course...

I work in various countries in asia..a week here a week there etc and come back to Thailand at the weekend. .I don't work in Thailand. .just come back on a tourist visa for a few days or a week or so. I have been doing this on a 30 day tourist visa..never overstayed..only here for a few days to a week then off I go again. So my question is with the recent crackdown can I continue to do this?.I my view I am the perfect tourist. .go away earn my money come back spend money in Thailand go away again. .but not sure immigration see it that way especially as I end up with lots of stamps in my passport...do I try to continue?? Get a different visa??..move to phillipines??

Hi all, I will be moving to Ratchaburi in 2-3 Months...I know the place fairly well but my friends are of course Thai (friends or relatives of my girlfriend) which is great as everyone I meet are friendly, welcoming and happy to help me...I was wondering if there are any other English speakers based in Ratchaburi and if so do you meet anywhere as it would be good to talk...Anyway...please let me know.
