@Michael *******
 I see. Hard to get reliable news sources around here. Still hoping they wake up and see the benefit of attracting long-term visitors especially now. Even a broken clock is right two times a day, right? 😇

 I see. It is just that the article I linked seemed to be from just two months ago … so I was hoping maybe this is a current development.

 I see. Isn't now the time for Thailand to attract long-term visitors, if regular tourists are not coming? Am I expecting too much from the Thai government? So many unanswered questions 😉

@Benjamin *****
 Why not? And is that a good or a bad sign? Has it never been put before the cabinet. Did the cabinet refuse it? Isn't now the time for Thailand to attract long-term visitors, if regular tourists are not coming? Am I expecting too much from the Thai government? So many unanswered questions ;-)

Can I get a re-entry permit on a Covid extension in Bangkok?
Frank-Steven ***********
Doubtful. And what for? If you re-enter, you’d be stamped in for 45 days without visa and free of charge (surpassing your current extension date).

How can I open a bank account in Thailand while on a tourist visa?
Frank-Steven ***********
@Ken ******
 You should get used to those situations if you want to retire here. You will have broken processes like this on a weekly basis in this country. Try different banks. Get a residence certificate from immigration to impress / convince the bank. Bring a Thai national to tell the bank what to do.
