yeah, I'm leaning to just getting a METV. If it does go into effect, what would be the difference between the SETV and the 60 fay exemption? Or would it be basically the same? Would they both have potential to lead to a retirement visa once in Thailand if I chose to go that route?

I meant so much for the hope of it being June 1. And was referring to the poster that mentioned the new program, not that they confirmed it would start June 1. I was hoping there would ha e at least been some more details released though.

it's funny, when it was first announced, a lot of people were giddy about it (me too), but all the seasoned vets were skeptical, trying to calm people down and tell them not jump the gun and to wait until it's in the the Gazette. Now I see what they mean. Lesson learned!

@Andrew **********

there was an official poster too wasn't there?

So much for June 1st. Not even more details released.

@Pip ****

is that flying in or land? Or both? Lots of people saying no limit to fly ins.

OK. Thank you. I think I'd prefer to fly to other countries in Asia to visit for a few weeks at a time rather than doing doing Border runs anyway.

yep, seems like it's already getting sketchy. Gonna just go with the O. Maybe look into the DTV depending on what they consider a 'digital nomad' and 'freelancer'. Hopefully it's pretty broad.

And for clarification...if I'm on an exemption and I fly in and out instead of doing a land border run, is there still a limit on reentries in a year or if you fly it's not limited. Saw that in another forum so wondering if you can confirm that.

Yea, but at least after 2 years, I could be more sure if I want to permanently move to Thailand. I've pretty much given up on jumping through all the OA hoops. I'm anxious to see what the new visas entail when they go into effect on the 1st. That DTV sounds kind of interesting. I also like the 90 days total you can get with the exemption.
