They just want long termers not to use visa exempt which is for tourists

They say they are reducing it but it hasn't been passed yet.

If you keep doing it you will get stopped at some point

Of course. If you are not seen as a tourist, at some point they will stop you. Happens every day. You cannot stay long term on a tourist visa even with border hops.

@Todd ********
I got heavily questioned on my first entry because I had previously been on a retirement visa. It is going to get even tighter shortly as they try to stem the stream of people trying to get round the rules.

Depends on the Immigration officer. Sometimes they will deny you on your 2nd one. It is variable. The minute they realise you are not a tourist they will either warn you or deny you. If staying long term, you need a proper visa.

Yes. Go and see your bank. It's about new laws on proof of identity. Do not answer online in case it's spam

They are getting.much stricter on people trying to stay long term on visitor status. More and more are getting denied entry

Good idea if you want your bank balance to go down quickly
