A single entry gives 90 days and can be extended for 12 months if you qualify.

Or

No it is not possible to extend 30 days as with a tourist visa entry.

You use the same form, and next to the usual also bring the birth certificate with you named as the father, the child and mother, household registration, copy of ID-card of the mother and the household registration.

Not sure about the Thai visa system not being crazy - surely having a regular outside income, a long established and sustainable business outside of Thailand, and no criminal or other record or dependency would be better sub 50 than over 50 years old with a very small pension, or like many i know - with nothing, just a Thai wife and trying to make a few bahthere and there in her name?

Not sure about the relative merits of young vs. old but I believe the logic behind the retirement extension is that retirees don't compete in the labour market, they just bring money from overseas and spend it. You could reasonably argue that in your situation you're doing the same thing (spending your overseas income in Thailand) but the existing immigration regulations don't make specific allowances for you and the many other folks in a similar situation. However, Thailand is not that different from other countries in this regard - try immigrating to the US, UK or Australia with the justification that you have an established business in another country and you just want to chill with your girlfriend. Unless that established business is substantial or one was committing to invest heavily in a new business in your adopted country, I'm guessing one wouldn't have much luck.

Well, not sure how many people aged 50 get to retire these days - it's 20 years beneath most of us, and in most "western" countries it's the other way around - as older people can easilly become a state burden - and I remember a Thai Visa headline a week or 2 back about elderly farang not being able to pay their hospital bills... but I hope 50 isn't old, or we're all doomed...

Either way, the ever-changing and confusing situation does little to attract tourism, foreign invesetors - oh, and as for chilling - I average 10-14 hours a day of work, every day (behind a computer or elsewhere - worldwide), and the girlfriend runs her long established biz in a similar way, ahh, ohh to be a kept man (state or girlfriend )

It is what it is, but I think we all know they don't help themselves - charge more for a visa by all means..

Spending Laos Aviation and tourism money every few weeks it is

Let them profffit from the backpackers ;(
