same here. We are content where we are. Getting a cute little 2 bed house soon on the edge of a rice field with a lovely Mountain View. She just wants a simple life nothing lavish. Just me her and a dog lol.
I heard different, apparently they relaxed arriving by air but hardened up on the 2 land entries. At the end of the day no one has a clue and it all depends on the mood of the IO at customs. Nothing is set in stone.
3 visa exemptions within a 6 month period according to the embassy website but like every thing else in Thailand it’s surrounded by vagueness and whatever.
The visa requirements are backwards. They don’t care about income they just want to see the 500k in a bank account so theoretically you could be unemployed. It’s a remote worker visa surely evidence of income is all they should need. I’m a remote worker and earn 90k baht per month but because I don’t have 500k just floating there I can’t get the visa. It’s pure bs and penalises a lot of remote workers meaning legit long term visas are STILL out of reach for the majority. And they wonder why people abuse the tourist visas.
