Be a yaddithian or shabti.
"Yaddithians live for thousands of years; they gain no benefit or penalty from aging and are immune to magical aging effects."
If you want to be really RAW, you could argue that immortal creatures also live for thousands of years. :p

For thousands of years until a group of adventuring murder-hobos put an end to their hijinks.

Conjure up a devil or demon and wish for eternal youth. Easy peasy.
This CANNOT go wrong!
Gain a mythic tier and chose longevity as your path ability. This could be done as early as 1st level.
Mystic was already considered and ruled out since it's GM fiat.
Is there a list of all the ways to live forever without the GM handing it to you (i.e., artifacts, mythic)? Undead don't count.

Might I interest you in some... Numerian Fluids?
Buy a bottle, and keep making the DC 25 Craft Alchemy check every hour until you hit the lucky number 100.
Other than the very small risk of your flesh dissolving, it's a pretty easy way to gain access to the Mutant Template or Immortality.
Major mind swap; steal a new body when the old one gets, well, old.
if gm allow them . be a Wyrwood - constructs don't age.

Honestly, most "immortality" as a class feature is overrated.
It's really just "you don't die from old age and don't take age category penalties."
There's already a spell for age penalties, Age Resistance.
And the spell Reincarnate can get you a fresh body. Assuming you need one in the first place. You can also use Cyclic Reincarnation. And don't worry about those not being on your spell list. That's what UMD is for. Plus they make items like the Wand Key Ring (which also helps with scrolls) so you can pretty easily UMD scrolls of these spells as needed.
A wizard also can make clones.
And a wizard can also make a timeless permanent demiplane and simply use astral projection to adventure in safety while his body never ages. Just don't try to physically leave your demiplane. That would go poorly.
Unless you actually came back from being dead, which several options do allow, it's really just a minor convenience that doesn't come up in most games.

Yeah, I have never seen an adventurer die from the old age, unless he has already retired.
Conclusion: don't retire.
Samsarans are technically immortal. When their bodies die they are reborn into a new samsarans.
...
Phoenix Bloodline 20 1/24 hours you are affected by true resurrection after 1 minute.
Samsarans’ souls just move through the cycle of souls differently. They cycle on the material plane rather than going through the boneyard and other outer planes. They have a stronger connection to their past lives, but can’t really be considered the same life and thus not really immortal.
You’d be better off tracking down a soul anchor and then dying by any means other than suicide. This would result in the outsider you become after death and judgement retaining all memories of life (including class levels) which would then be immortal. And this method works for any race.
...
Phoenix Bloodline still ages and True Resurrection does NOT bring back creatures that die of old age.
Bleachlings are basically immortal. Gnomes only age and die because of the bleaching, but if they survive it they stop aging.
* [6/7] Entice Fey or [9] Entice Fey (Greater) - Succeed at calling a Swan Maiden, bargaining with them to transform you into a Swan Maiden yourself. Congratulations, you are now a Fey! Use [6/8] Fey Gate or such to reach the First World and enjoy your effective immortality.
* Be a Level 20 Oracle(Time) - you stop ageing, do not accrue further ageing Penalties, continue to gain ageing Bonuses and cannot die of old age.
Contingency+(Cyclic) Reincarnation: Largely the same as the above, but requires finding some way to get them both on the same list (none come to mind).
Pathfinder savant.
The song of extinction requires an artifact to learn, it's probably outside the scope of this (non-mythic & non-artifact) list Doompatrol.
Blood kineticist capstone, heavens mystery final revelation, time mystery final revelation, solar mystery final revelation, whimsy mystery final revelation (if you rule that fey are immortal), enlightened philosopher oracle capstone, heavens spirit manifestation.
Becoming a lich works. (Technically, so does simply letting a shadow kill you, but I assume that you want to keep some shred of your original identity.)
well he would need access to the artifact, and he wants things that the GM can't refuse.The GM can refuse anything, he wanted a list of things that weren't freebies.
Access to this would be a knowledge check, teleport and then diplomacy with possible payment if it has an owner
FSM, I really hope one of my players makes this argument one day. GMs live for this sort of thing. } : D

If you're going the undead route, the capstone ability of the agent of the grave mini prestige class lets you be whatever kind of undead you want to be without losing your mind or free will. If you decide to follow the lich route it just gives you a bonus on any saves, checks, etc. required by the process.
What would an immortal campaign look like?
Run a few scenes every hundred years? How would you make the time as immortal the interesting part, instead of the becoming immortal part? Likely have to GM fiat a few extra ways to become immortal so that the game still has progression. I feel like you would have to narrowly focuses on one plot, one that would justify doing little for a hundred years. Re-write the kingdom building rules into cult-building rules?
Various versions of the Binding spell make the target immortal too. The downsides are things like living in a hamster ball or being a cloud...
