agree, it's unlikely that the requirements will stay this lenient, but I won't have to worry about it until 5 years from now.
My real hope is that when the BOI see's big drops in their LTR visa applications, they lower those requirements to come more inline with DTV requirements.
The soft power requirements are strangely vague and extremely generous. Like apparently it's up to the embassies to decide how long the Muay Thai, cooking, language, classes or medical appointments have to be for.
Some accept 1 day to 6 weeks to 6 months of classes/appointments for a visa that lasts 5 years.
