You may not be allowed on the flight without a Visa and with a one way ticket.

Get a Visa from the Thai Consulate in Hamburg. Details are here. http://www.thaiembassy.de/Address.htm

You can study Thai at one of the schools and get a Visa that way later on. You can get Tourist Visas in neighbouring countries.. Vientianne Laos will even issue a Double Entry. Giving almost 6 months with extensions and a border run in the middle.

Are you saying that you already have a Bride or that you are still looking for one?

Being Married to a Thai will give some more options.

There have been fairly recent reports that the consulate in Hull (UK) will issue visas to EU nationals and will post within the EU.

Their website is here http://www.thaiconsul-uk.com/ give them a call/email.

You should be able to get a multiple entry non-o visa for the purpose of visiting friends. Good for up to 15 months, you have to do a border hop every 90 days, with a final one just before the visa expires

I am sure that there was a few reports of Stuttgart issuing them as well.

a. Apply for a tourist visa, see above posts

b. You will probably have to leave the country for that

c. Yes, but make sure the school will arrange for a work permit and the other paperwork, a lot of schools and other organisations don't do that because they don't know how.

d. Yes, you will get a permission of stay upon show of your visa. This permission of stay can be extended in the case you have a non-immigrant visa for example for education or volunteering or retirement when you are 50.

e. You can get as many tourist visa's back to back as you want.
