It isn't stealing as every Australian person aged 65 or older is entitled to a pension provided they satisfy certain criteria.

Self defence visas seem to be pretty lenient

*rephrase* self defence courses seem to be pretty lenient in terms of fulfilling attendance criteria for an ED visa

There have been instances of people being denied entry on the MetV visa because the immigration official has suspected them of living in Thailand illegally.

So it is important to take note that a Multiple Entry visa does not give you impunity when facing scrutiny.

Things that will raise suspicion may be same day border bounces, consistently crossing at the same border and spending the vast majority of your "travel period" in Thailand.

They have the right to ask you for a flight out of Thailand and to see 20,000thb in cash everytime you enter the country (I believe there is no difference in criteria to the SETV) and ultimately they have the right to deny your entrance to the Kingdom and once they do that it is very rare their decision is reversed.

So, if you plan to come to Thailand each year for months I'd be interested to see how long you can do this for.

that 8000thb figure includes time cost, I don't have the official rate at hand

It's all about the documentation. If she has things in Thailand like a mortgage, assets etc. things she couldn't just bail on if she wanted to emigrate then it shouldn't be an issue.

Visa cost is about 8,000thb all things considered.

Is that 200k thb taxable income earned in Thailand or income earned outside of Thailand as well?

:D

lol X% of EB posts end in suggestions of suicide

yeah I've gone in at 1-2pm, never been there for more than an hour

Hi Barry. It won't work. The airlines explicitly do not allow you to fly Thailand-Cambodia-Thailand in the same calendar day.

Malaysia is ok and you won't have to mess with visas.
