Kerryd: More on the CodFish and Screech later

Right now I'm pressed for time and I'm still not sure what to do about the Visa situation. Based on these replies I am now rethinking the matter, and my thinking is as follows:

Should I simply go to Thailand and enter on a "30 day tourist stamp"? I would then be able to work out the details of the residence Visa without being pressed for time (realizing that I would probably have to go to some neighbouring country to accomplish this).

Or should I get a 90 day Visa of some sort, because I'm assuming this will not be a time consuming situation involving medical certifcates, police forms, etc. So if anyone could enlighten me on these areas, I think that would do it.

What do you all think? Thanks for all the info so far

New to the board, second try to post a message.

I am trying to get help in determining which type of visa I should apply for. I want to remain in Thailand indefinitely. I would prefer least amount of aggrivation concerning border runs for extentions etc.

I am 70 years old, with adequate funds to support my self. I think I have adequate funds to satisfy bank deposit requirements, although I don't know the amount required.

I want to arrive in Thailand around 4th of July.

Thanks for any help
