My wife and I want to stay in Thailand for six months later this year to see if a more permanent stay is for us can anyone tell us what are our visa options are.Thanks

Nationality?

Age?

A double entry tourist visa will give you almost 180 days with one border run and two 30 day extensions. A triple will give you almost 270 days with two border runs and three extensions.

If over 50, there are other options.

Thank you we are both Irish and over 50

You possibly could get multiple entry non-o visas that would give you 90 day entries for a year that could be extended for one year for retirement. You probably would need to show some financial proof to get them. If not then a 3 entry tourist visa would give you plenty of time. Contact the consulate in Dublin for info on requirements. http://www.thaiconsulateireland.com/

Great info thank you
