Theories are the same as polls, they don't mean anything.

It was always a lot easier with visas before Prayut took over so I don't really think there'll be any major changes in a while🤷🏻‍♂️

Definitely they are going to make adjustments, refinements. The unlimited TV is a big mistake and when words spreads that it’s all up to the mood of the IO they will scare off too many people.

Same with the DTV. While it’s long overdue, it hasn’t been properly defined so changes will come.

I bet they will also improve their funny tax regulations because currently it’s really messy and even the people from various provincies don’t have a clue.

We’ll see what the future brings.

A fixed charge on immigrant visa and then exempt them from income tax might be a good idea and is fairly easy to implement. Much easier than handling all those tax returns.
