Yup. That’s the downside to the soft power. It can be very expensive. Medical could be an alternative? But potentially the same issue if its not 5 years worth of medical work

@James *******
Yup! Follow the terms of the visa 😂

@Andrew *******
Yup. Which I would do. I legitimately want to learn thai.

@Yasmin **********
Yeah thats the downfall to the softpower route. It’s still a newish visa so its still being figured out but presumably to be 100% safe you would need to be enrolled in courses the whole 5 years and the courses can be quite expensive.

They can ask you at any point and there have been reports on this facebook group of some people being asked at the airport on re-entry. They can technically ask you at any point so its important to be able to keep that money available and not dip below that amount.
