@Erik ******

info source please as your right I do want/need to understand this visa

@Frank-Steven **********

ok so if can extend 180 every year then like I say 20k a year visa is not a bad price, wonder what agent fees will be

@James ****

well if you can do the 180 every year then 20k a year for visa is not bad compared to ED

@Keiron *******

as I understand it you get 180 days per year for 5 years and can extend by 180 days only once, in regards to how long you have to leave for that's the remaining 176 days of the year, so as it's multi entry I think many will maybe spread the 180 days through the year in 60 day chunks and visit home country or cheap neighbour country for the time needed out of Thailand

@James ****

yes from what I hear the 180 day extension can only be done one time in the 5 years

@Jordan *******

the reason it's 180 day per year is so that you do NOT become liable for paying tax in Thailand, although the whole tax details are a mess the 180 has been clear from the start

@Oliver *******

ah so immigration is like tax, even if it's there mistake you will probably get a bill to fix it, got it 🤔

Hi all quick update, I got back on Saturday June 1st and got 30 days, I did question it and was lead off to an area with several immigration staff and they said yes it's been announced but it's not law yet, and now today June 2nd I see a story saying it will happen late June or early July, so will have to wait I guess....

Landed at 3pm today 1st of June and got 30day, asked why not 60 and they said announced but not official yet

Well I'm heading to BKK on June 1st, so I will try and remember to update you all, I am from UK
