How Can I Legally Stay In Thailand Without Leaving The Country

[kwilson76]

kwilson are you over 50 if so retirement visa works for you.

No, I said I am under 55. I wouldn't be searching through this forum for help if I was over!

If you are Under 50 - you can always get a Non-Immigrant-O with Multy entries based on Visiting Friends/Relatives - this visa is valid for 1 year with 90 day border runs. With this visa you can stay in Thailand up to 15 x 30 days.

Go to the Perth Thai Consulate. I'm under 50 years of age as well. I've been staying here for the past 3 years on Non-Immigrant-O visa doing border runs every 90 days (it's not so bad) - and in two years I'll be applying for the O-A visa (Retirement).

You did allright???? Here is what you said:"DegenFarang, I am in a similar position to you. I want to move to Thailand on a permanent basis, but because I don't have a job or study lined up, I am under 55 and am I not married to a Thai, I can't seem to find a reasonably simple way to do this! "

Five zero (50) and five five (55) are not the same.

If you do not want our help that is your choice but as long as you are a paying customers you have the right to demand quality service from the Walen school and we are here to deliver it.

Kwilson76 I guess you do not understand

1) If you are under 50 it is a problem visawise

2) If you range between 50 and 55: no problems You fit the retirement's requirement

3) If you are 55 + no problems; no problems You fit the retirement's requirement

Do you see a difference between points 2 and 3? No? well it is because there is none therefore you are either under 50 or over 50

This is why your post (and your insistance) is frustrating

I should also add that you'd better enquire about the teaching position you intend to get, especially if you do it on humanitarian grounds, as, it would still be illegal (unless I am mistaken)
