No work visa but want to stay long-term in Thailand, DTV is very cost-effective! Sharing a few visas other than work permits
1. Digital Nomad Visa DTV (Destination Thailand Visa)

Visa validity is five years, each entry allows a stay of up to 180 days, visa fee is about 11,000 TWD, application documents are not complicated, mainly passport, photo, proof of deposit (500,000 THB), and proof of employment. The entire process is now completed online via Thai E-Visa, no need to visit offices, but you cannot work or open a company in Thailand.
2. Elite Card (Thailand Privilege Card)
The cheapest bronze card starts at 650,000 THB, buying a residence status from five to twenty years, includes airport privileges, account opening assistance, fast track services.
Basically, you pay for convenience, avoiding a lot of administrative hassle, suitable for those with budget, you can check the official website directly, no need to go through agents https://thailand-elite.com/visa
3. Long-Term Resident Visa LTR

Personally think it is more complicated, visa validity is ten years, some categories have work rights and income tax benefits.
DTV is considered the lowest threshold, also good to get to know the environment, quite foreigner-friendly.
