you didn't answer my question. If tourist can't work then they are just spending money stimulating the economy.
I know Thai people who are happy foreign people come because it gives them a job at hotels at dental office for people like it's just stimulating the economy.
When COVID happened and it was shut down a lot of people lost jobs. They are happy the foreign people is back.
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but from what I have seen is that when you apply from your own country your country ID/passport is the only thing needed.
To prove location.
But when you apply from other countries besides your home country they want to see stamp.
