, hmm. You are clearly twisting the rules doing so. But maybe this visa could be a way to get a long-term visa without paying too much money even though the requirements are not easy to meet.
, anyway, I still think it is a bit risky to get a 5-year LTR-T and then "quit" the job shortly after and then stay in Thailand for the full 5 years as nothing happened - as you are clearly misusing the visa...
, are you sure about that? Sounds strange. The website states that a work permit is included but you still have to apply for it. How can you work in Thailand even remotely from Thailand without a work permit? Many are doing so, but that is another story. The website also talks about an annual reporting replacing the 90-Day reporting but what it exactly includes seems not clear?
I guess the only way at any time is to cross the border? Or what do you mean? If you are asking for tricks for getting fast through the border, then there might still be the option of paying someone for jumping the queue or taking a public bus crossing the border if available in Nong Khai?
, I remember from before that the Washington Embassy says 20k (40k) but the MFA site says 10k (20k). But what happens in real life is what is important.
