@Johanna *******
My statement is absolutely true. Your fear is based on refusing to look at the survival rates of those who do get covid... Statistically people under the age of 59 have only a very small chance of dying from Covid-19. The 1918 Spanish Flu killed 50 million people at least. Real reason for fear. The sickness and death rate of Covid-19 is not much different than seasonal influenza and you spend no time worrying about that. The death rate from Covid-19 is between 0.1% and 0.5% worldwide.

You have a real problem using the word "Execpt".. Except it is true for Non O based in Retirement... keep digging

Most of you act like Covid-19 is the same as the rampaging killer 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic... which is not remotely the case. Such Fear and Scare Mongering is laughable.

It is NOT POSSIBLE to have a Covid-19 Free Country and have tourism at the same time. Same as with Influenza - not possible - Pipe Dream

@Stuart ********
just keep digging.. The non O for Retirement is a significant category. And it is quite odd that a Non O Category that requires 800,000 Baht in the Bank or 65K Baht a month x 12 months is ignored by the government as being inconsequential

Maintaining a Zero-Covid-19 case occurrance cannot be done in any country unless totally sealed - permanently closed borders, no visitors, no international business meetings, no tourists...No National Economic Stability... and on and on.

North Korea could probably do it.

@Stuart ********
- But your answer was incomplete - you left out retirees

It seems on the surface that this new STV (when finalised) could be a route back... Then with a total of 270 days (3 X 90) a Non Imm O and One Year Extension could be arranged.

- That is only the Non O for Marriage or Dependents. Surely you are aware of the Non O for Retirement... no method to process back
