Thailand visa is easy. Try doing an American one or a Chinese one.

Don't forget: map of the local area around your house, hand-drawn on paper only.

Oh wait, you wanted ones that aren't real. That one was actually a real requirement 😂

if you cannot provide documentation, you can find a service that will provide all the necessary documentation for a small fee (or large fee if you are not all that wealthy). But if you buy a few luxury condos just steps from the beach with high yield return potential, a visa will be included.

A notarized declaration stating that you will never – under any circumstances – transport a durian in an elevator, taxi, or hotel room. Violation will result in immediate deportation and a lifetime ban from Thailand

My mother in law brought a whole suitcase of fruits back to Europe from Thailand back in 2020, even Durian and i was amazed she even got through with it. She bought an extra suitcase just for this.🤣
