Currently a 60 day tourist visa obtained from Thai embassy in NZ costs $300.Should the Thai govt bring into law this 60 day visa exempt scheme then why would you bother paying $300 for a tourist visa when a visa exempt entry will cost nothing,and if you can extend the 60 day visa exempt by 30 days then why would you pay $800 nzd for a 90 day non o visa based on marriage.Just my thoughts

That’s what I thought as well but my Thai wife’s sister has managed to get in twice and worked both times and is currently still working there,so I have no idea what sort of visa she has.

because a lot of people don’t get bht per month

Hi Bob,To get a 60 day tv do you have to show an onward ticket at the end of the 60 days or have an onward ticket for 90 days. 60+30 extension

there’s always lechon.

Medical and hospitals very expensive in Phillipines.I would imagine a lot of these alternate countries medical expenses would be very expensive unless you have medical insurance which once your over 60 the premiums are prohibitive

@Tony *******

if it is indeed true is it just for NZrs and probably Australians or every other country.If these new fees are for everyone I would say a lot of people will be looking elsewhere
