Yeah, agreed. My visa concerns were increasing already before covid :)

Oh, and again, to anyone entertaining the notion. It takes a while to go through the various stages. I think I was a month and a half. But could've been quicker if my banks weren't assholes. So, we're near last chance unless the government does the right thing and extends the amnesty.

Just in case anyone is following and interested. I can confirm that you can convert from amnesty to elite. Just did it a few weeks ago. Painful amount to let go off, yeah. But, oh man, have I slept like a baby ever since.

It was recent. Went for the 5 years entry level.

Nothing about health insurance.

Peace of mind.

It's a long term stay visa where you only have to do 90 day reporting. They might even help you with that detail, depending on where you stay. Some might say it's a bit expensive, though.

Mine is 5 years (plus a bit) for 500k baht.

No, it's a PE visa :)

You're being rational and reasonable. Clearly the wrong place for that kind of thing 😅

You didn't answer above. What exactly would you expect embassies to do about this?

I'd say spreading it around social media is far more effective. Thai authorities does sometimes seem sensible to that kind of thing.

Also, settle down. You'll live longer.

Monday morning (which is, supposedly, the worst) a couple of weeks ago. Fairly quiet.

Might wanna read up on quarantine 😅

You can switch to "Thai Elite" without leaving the country. Cheapest one is 500.000 baht. That would give you 5 years with no visa concerns.
