@Sahil *******

because 500k ($14k) is not a lot of money.

why don’t you save that mantra for behavior that isn’t illegal.

@Terary *********

you’re admitting to having stayed almost 10 years on tourist visas. You’re probably not the best example to others.

@Andy ***********

it didn't bomb. There just aren't a lot of wealthy people who want to live here and most employers will not allow their employees to work from other countries for very valid reasons. It was never going to be a popular visa, but the people who have it are bringing in and spending lots of money here. Well more than a number of the DTV holders will combined.

@Ralph ******

exactly. This is something the 20-somethigs who can barely afford travel will not do.

@Andy ***********

I would hold on to that thought. So many of us will never get DTV as it isn't for us. Employees and business owners need Non-B. Other long termers familiar with government flip flopping won't cancel their current visas. Neither will Elite holders.

@Thaimer *****

if foreigners behaved themselves in Thailand like they do in other countries, that wouldn't be necessary.

@Andy ***********

more like watch the visa requirements change when the government realizes what it has done. There is a reason that no other country in the world does this.

Qualifications is a pulse.
