Hello,

Please could you advise me (having chosen to reside in Thailand to spend time with my girlfriend) what is the best medium/long term option to stay in Thailand with as little difficulty, and hence visa runs, as possible?

I am aware that at age 50 this can be done with a retirement visa and sufficient pension or baht 800,000 in the Bank, but how much do I need or what rules apply to stay pre 50 years old, please?

I am Englishman 40 years old

Many thanks

visa wise unless you marry and go for a non imm o visa then your pretty much tied down to the bog standard tourist visa and visa runs.
