Thailand will allow foreign 'long-stay' tourists
The Thai cabinet on Tuesday approved the plan to allow foreign tourists who want to stay in Thailand for a longer period of time, such as winter visitors.

TB Immigration Info Brief 065/20: Proposal for New Tourist Visa Approved
On Tuesday 15 September, the cabinet theoretically agreed to a new visa. It would be named Special Tourist Visa (STV) and cost 2.000 Baht for a stay of 90 days. Those 90 days could then be extended 2 x in Thailand at the price of 2.000 Baht. This would allow a maximum stay of 270 consecutive days.
