Here is some strong indicator of what I have been preaching over and over again: The LTR Visa - great as it is - is a failure in its current form!
It was set out a attract 1 MILLION highly sought after candidates - but a mere 4457 applications have only been achieved in total.
Especially the "Work from Thailand" category is a total misalignment of requirements and realities. Especially the requirement to be an employee of only a big or publicly listed company is just too far off the realities of many remote workers that would otherwise easily meet the rest of the requirements. Why oh why would they even care of I make my high income that I am willing to spend in Thailand from direct employment income of a listed corporation - or as owner of my own medium sized (consulting) business?
Meanwhile, a DTV Destination Thailand Visa was announced - but as so often not followed through. OK: Rant over. Have a great day, everyone. :-)
