My post was pretty clear... to avoid BKK and Phuket airport, and Poipet border, as these three are tough on repeat visa runners. You could have saved time by reading my post.

Yes, but the extension is optional. You can border run as many times as you please. You can get in and out 50 times per year if you want, that's the meaning of multi entry.

@Mark ********

Yes, and even tho it appear too easy, it's been this easy forever in most other SEA countries. For example, in Cambodia, it's very easy to work as a foreigner and get 12 months extension every year. Vietnam is also easy. But Thailand was lagging behind.

I live 1h from Nong Khai border. I double checked my source with Tod Daniels. Ofc, it can change at any time. I can stay 150 days per entry (60 + 30 extension + 60 days extension based on marriage), for me most years I don't need to do a 3nd.

#1 No

#2 No, you get 180 days with each entry, each extendable for 180 days if you want to. So you can either 180 days x10, or 180 + 180 x5, or a combination.

#3 You get to stay until 5 years and 5 months.

It's often angry old foreigners not in that space who fear monger. There is no crackdown on digital creator, even more so with that new visa option.

Crackdown on Youtubers? There no such things. Again, I won't get into details but I don't know a single foreign Youtuber in Thailand with a Thai address linked to their ad sense.

You say that it's too good to be true, but if you look at Cambodia, Bali, Vietnam, etc, its all been like this for a while. I was living in Cambodia before and could extend 1 year at a time. Foreigner could easily work, everything was super easy. So Thailand is simply catching up to what his neighbors are already doing.

It's ed visa replacement. That's probably why they were rarely giving it anymore, it's all gonna be group in that new visa. I expect a list of like 10 to 20 things you can study or do.

We're all in different situations. Some of us have money invested, passive income, on computer a lot, and so on. I'm obv not getting into details, it's been like this for 30 years for a lot of people and this is giving another option to everyone. My gut feeling is that the 500k baht is the most robust criteria, the rest is not super difficult as in I don't think it's gonna be hard to confirm that you are self employed.
