I don't know who wrote it, but it's completely accurate. Each embassy will have its own guidelines for obtaining the visa, but once you have it, no additional documentation is required for the next five years.
Just as the ocean shifts from stormy to calm, so does the landscape of immigration. At the moment, they've made it extremely easy. Can it change later? Of course, just like the ocean does. However, if you have the five-year visa, they can't cancel it. You're secure for five years. Right now, the requirements are as easy as just one doctor's appointment or a ticket to a music festival, along with 500,000 baht. These are the easiest rules I've seen in my 25 years here.
once you get the visa, only proof is the 500,000 baht at the bank and that proof is only on the extension of stay for additional 180 days. Leaving and going during the five years, it’s a one time requirement on the 500k.
I’m amazed after two years of this. People still think an AtK is as accurate as a PCR and when the ATK is negative and PCR is positive, they feel something is wrong.
A PCR is much more sensitive then any ATK. PCR is 40 amplified rounds of looking for the virus while Atk is 25 rounds. The Ct levels on your PCR is anywhere from Ct 26 to Ct 40.
