Frequently Asked Questions, Thai Visa

From Taiwan and want to stay for 1 year

I want to stay in Thailand for one year, which VISA that I should apply for. I am from Taiwan?

Please know that a 1-year visa is only applicable for those who are employed with a work permit in Thailand, foreigners on retirement, or those married to a Thai national. Foreigners who are also enrolled in an institution may also be granted initially a 90day ED visa or 1 year ED visa.

Note that they have become very strict with the educational visa and if you want to extend it beyond the 1 year you will need to show results from a university or the ability to speak basic Thai if you enrolled for a Thai language course.
