Keep in mind tax rules and visa rules can change at any moment.

I assumed one price for the 3 years. You can do a lot of travelling for that sort of money. Rent somewhere in bkk say 6000 baht a month and use that as you base.

@Carman ******

wow 148,000 baht. Do you find that a good price for 3 years but still have to renew every year?

@Mike ******

10 years ago it was easy to get the "visiting wife's family in Thailand" visa at the consulate of course I don't have a family in Thailand for her to visit so she couldn't get one. She didn't get any nasty stamp in her Aussie passport. But they didn't want to accept her Thai passport. They told her to "lose it". We had no time to argue.

@Mike ******

but they waive the fine for the th day apparently. Not something I would want to do. As a side note my wife got fined for being 60 days over, 10 years ago. She was going to leave the country on her Thai passport but because she came in on an Australian one they didn't accept it

so when folk pay the 1900 baht to immigration for the 30 day extension is it 29 days or 30?

with everything now digital and could be made available online they could use the stop watch method. The clock starts when you get stamped in

Malaysia they give you 90 days. But no end date. You have to work it out yourself. Bit like the constipated mathematician. He worked it out with a pencil. 555

@Jean-Claude ********

that's right. Often if you ask a Thai how old they are they will tell you their age for their next birthday. So you're right. Born on your first birthday.

@Brandon ***********

yes it was the same with the 60 days. In May 1 until June 29. 59 days.
