TLDR : Answer Summary
The Smart Visa for Thailand offers an attractive option for expats, allowing a duration of up to 4 years for a fee around £1000. However, the requirements can be strict, including a monthly income of 100,000 baht, which may be challenging for some. Community members shared links to specific information, emphasizing the importance of checking the official embassy resources and the specific eligibility criteria.
