- I don't mind paying the 500K visa for 5 years. It's not about that.
- International tax laws are on the grey area but in general it's better to pay taxes somewhere or else your home country could claim that it deserves your taxes. I rather pay mine in Thailand.
- If/when I'll move to Thailand I will probably want to grow my business there using Thai work, and yes - it could also definitely help me get along term no-hassle visa.
Thing is, if I'm leaving my current place of residence and not paying taxes there anymore well.. I have to pay taxes somewhere. Naturally, Thailand should be that place since I'll be living there.
But ok, I'll move forward with #1 and #2 and see what comes up.
