ORIGINAL POSTER

Question - American Citizen

Does anyone know if with a MEV it's possible to live in Thailand but work in Laos? Example..so part time work in Laos but then part time live in Thailand? NOT working in Thailand? Kinda a back and forth deal 1/2 and 1/2 during a month. 🤓

I've been in Laos 10 years... it was all so much easier in the past! 😎
