        You get 60 days when you arrive at the airport. Then you go to an immigration office and they extend it another 30 days. After 30 days you take a day trip to Vietnam. There you get a "visa on arrival" to enter Vietnam. Then you wait in line again to reenter Thailand. Boom, another 60 days. The Thai immigration office is probably not what you expect and is surprisingly efficient. Staying in Thailand for years is easy as long as you aren't extremely lazy.

        As for why it isn't longer? You know the US should demand that it get better entry options than the EU passport holders but Americans don't travel overseas enough to know better.

                As an American, you can stay in Mexico for six months (or 180 days) at a time with a "visitor's visa" — everyone over age 16 who travels to Mexico with a US passport automatically enjoys this option. You will be given this document before you arrive in the country (either via plane or at a border crossing).

                Because they don't know if you're going to be spending all that money. These countries tend to be xenophobic and see foreigners as walking piggy banks. If you're spending barely more than a local, they have no reason to want you in their country for a long time. Worst, you could be a begpacker and be a burden to their society. That's why if you actually had money and wanted to stay for a long time, they offer expensive long term visa options.

                What's the point of this exactly? You aren't rich. Thailand offers an elite visa for this exact sort of person; no begging required. You on the other hand just want to reduce your cost of living while working remotely. Why are you talking like you're some bigshot? If you've got over 300k burning a hole in your pocket, you can get a permanent residence in most places. Just go try it for a while and see if it's even worth the effort. You're mad cause these asiatics aren't begging you to stay but dude the Thai are so fricking nice that once you go you'll be much less frustrated with them. Or maybe you'll hate it but I doubt it.

                This is horseshit, almost 100% wrong. The second part is kind of true; people do of course do border runs daily. But they don’t/can’t do them forever, and they are regularly told to stop it, including but not before being denied entry.
                >its a big source of revenue for them and the border countries
                More nonsense. Ordinary tourist visas and ordinary tourist spends are a comparatively minor source of revenue. Rich tourists like those buying the 5-year “Elite” visas are a slightly larger source of revenue, investor visas larger still. But the biggest revenue is always going to come from people using non-immigrant visas, working locally, and paying taxes.
                >you have to have seriously fricked up to get denied re-entry
                Or you have to overstay or come back too many times. It’s actually quite easy.

                >its almost unheard of to be denied at land borders,
                Again, this is nearly 100% wrong.
                >since you might be stranded there and then its somebodies problem
                There’s some truth here, but they make specific provisions to avoid it.

                The video below is a little old, and this lawyer is uncharismatic and awkward, but unlike you, he knows what he’s talking about.

                In the interest of full disclosure, while I don’t know this guy myself, one of several attorneys I do know who work in Thailand does know him, so he’s technically kind of a friend of a friend. But I am not shilling for him, I just think his perspectives are be useful for people with an interest in staying in Thailand.

          For Americans, isn't it 45 days on arrival through visa exemption? Do you have to apply separately at the airport for a 60day visa? I'm not seeing it on their website.

            > For Americans, isn't it 45 days on arrival through visa exemption?
            Yep, since last fall it’s been 45 days, with the option to add an additional month in-country, for the visa exemption.
            >Do you have to apply separately at the airport for a 60day visa? I'm not seeing it on their website.
            They were doing 60 day “special visas” (on arrival, maybe?) back when you still had to quarantine. Completely different from the 45-day visa exemptions, which you get automatically when showing up by air and don’t have to pay for.

            You can still buy a 60-day tourist visa, but you have to do it in advance at an embassy or consulate (or have a travel agent do it for you if you are lazy or unable to locate an embassy or consulate). Can’t be done on arrival. Can also be extended once by 30 days before you have to leave the country to repeat the process, like the visa exemption.

            Officially, however, neither of these things can be done indefinitely. In both cases, you’re only officially entitled to do it twice in a row in a given year, giving you a total of either 150 or 180 days in country in a given year. Subsequent returns are still possible at the discretion of immigration and border control officials, but the standard now appears to be that they’ll let you in a third time with a warning that they’re not doing it again. It’s also possible just to be refused entry on your third try.

            I guess some people are still getting lucky and pulling it off for a longer period, but it’s not like the 90s when people stayed for years and years just on exemptions.

            I think people are using bad/old information they either get from other forums or, frankly, just sort of think they heard someplace. I don’t think anyone is speaking from personal experience apart from one or two people with atypical, unusually long Covid-extension experiences.

            I was in Thailand for years with real local jobs (and as a grad student with a legitimate university affiliation doing dissertation research on non-fraudulent education visas before that), and it hasn’t been a sure thing there in literal decades. People do get lucky or slip under the radar, and there’s a small portfolio of dishonest ways to get away with staying longer than the government wants you to without a good reason, but it’s inherently precarious. And at least in Thailand’s case, enforcement has always been sporadic (even back when it was a lot easier), so there’s always been an element of chance involved in knowing when your time will run out.

    The last great dodgy visa scam appears to be the year-long visas that some language schools are still offering. You will be required to actually attend a few hours of language class every week (the school signs off on your visa, so it’s not likely you can fake or skip this), and check in with immigration every month, but ever since the pandemic started it’s been possible to do this without leaving the country (you used to get shorter visas that had to be renewed abroad when going through a private language school).

    The immigration authorities have been complaining about these programs for several years now, and friends in the know in Bangkok are confident that its days are numbered. But it’s still possible at least for now.

    Otherwise, your long-term stay options are an investor visa (good for a year at a time, renewable indefinitely as long as the value of your investment portfolio never dips below ten million baht at renewal time), marrying a local, enrolling in a real school (university), or starting a business that employs Thai people.

    There’s a new ten-year visa program that’s just been rolled out, as well, but it’s extremely expensive. And there used to be a VIP 5-year visa for something like $20K that included goofy perks like concierge services and airport priority lanes, but I’m not sure if they’ve axed it yet.

        They’ve always been used essentially dishonestly. They’ve been talking about getting rid of them for several years. The one-year thing was actually only a recent innovation from the last few years; previously private language schools could only issue visas for three months at a time, theoretically renewable for up to a year, but in practice rarely for more than 90 days. Immigration always liked it better that way because it was harder for people to work illegally.

      lol dunno about Thailand but in Canada you absolutely can, there are "schools" that you can buy PR from because studying in Canada = free guaranteed Permanent Resident status. So you pay them money and you don't even have to show up to classes, they just say you did. You spend your time working your job (you can work in Canada while on a studying "visa"/PR) and you've cheated the system and immigrated to Canada, couldn't be easier. It's that easy to get into a first world country so it's understandable people think it should be that easy to get into a third world one.

        I'm sure some of the schools are, or were, corrupt--I doubt the Chinese mafiosi abusing the system as mentioned above were actually attending many Thai classes, and Thailand is generally at least a moderately corrupt place. But Thai immigration is actually unusually stringent, in part because authorities have been unhappy for decades with the fact that the country has such a long history of attracting lowlifes, scumbags, and perverts. And education-visa abuse has been problematic since the beginning--I don't think anyone living in Thailand on a one-year education visa from a language school actually moved to Thailand to learn Thai, and they know it, so they've been talking about cracking down for some time now.
