Tourist Visa, Border Runs

[male]

Hi there,

I heard it's possible to stay in Thailand long term on a tourist visa (just do a border run every 3 months). Is that true? I hold Lithuanian(EU) passport, please advice

Thank you,

Andrew.

Obtain a triple-entry 60 day (if that's applicable) tourist visa from the Thai Consulate in Lithuaniua, and if you get the visa/s a day or so before you fly to Thailand, you will be able to extend each of those 60 day visas by 30 days, (for a fee) and manage almost 9 months on a tourist visa.

---o0o---

After that, border runs will be every two weeks.

You are entitled to a Visa on Arival which gives 15 days. Usually costs 1,000 Baht but is free for a year from April 1st.

You should be able to get a Tourist Visa in your own country.

Whether you can get one in Asia I am not sure.

I don't need a visa on arrival, I'm looking for a no-headache way to live here... Border runs every two weeks doesn't sound too good.
