It is expensive, especially when there are gyms & cooking schools charging 10-15k baht & you will have to do a border run in 6 months unless you still have 500.000 baht in your bank after your innitial visa apication (So 1 million baht when applying) & re-register with the school.

If you think it is expensive, maybe Thailand isn't for you. There is no guarantee you would be able to keep your visa for 5 years without having to renew your activity. As a matter of fact, immigration is already requiring to have an ongoing activity when renewing with them in the country. We also hear people getting METV/Tourist TR when trying to apply with low cost courses. And finally, there are rare cases where people are asked to show documents at the border... Not common, but that's a risk.

for once I will agree with you. 27k is a fair price and that gym Fitness Hero in Patong he got the price from is actually a really nice gym. Very clean and modern with good equipment, I have trained there before.But Jeremy I still think you are a Gump 😉

Exactly. You can’t even get a sketchy 1-year ED visa for that price anymore. Meanwhile, Thailand is being incredibly generous with the new DTV visas 27,000 THB for a course plus 10,000 THB for the application- totals 37,000 THB. That’s just 7,400 THB per year. And yet, some people are still out here asking for cheaper prices! 🤦♂️

I’m specifically referring to sketchy ones that you don’t have to attend classes. I’m fully aware language schools that offer legitimate ED visas, however, they’re still heavily scrutinized by immigration officers and people often get questioned or even denied entrance into Thailand when they’re on those type of visas. Still, 30k per year vs 7,500 per year.. I rest my case 🤷
