The announcement alone does not constitute legal implementation. All laws only become effective when they are passed into law by the Royal Thai Gazette. And this always appears on Thursday. But because of the few euros or dollars it doesn't really matter. Within a few days I have the online visa And basing my holiday planning on a possible imminent visa arrangement is quite a strong thing

Why all the fuss? If I want to stay up to 60 days, I'll take the TR visa. No problems, no further questions about it.

People say a lot.....

This is the only correct answer 👍

I am very surprised by most of the answers. In Europe, travel insurance usually requires a primary residence in the country of insurance. Annual contracts are also limited to a maximum number of days per trip. I also receive (normally required, probably rarely checked) written confirmation from my insurance company the coverage for the respective travel destination as well as the duration of the trip.Maybe there is a loophole, but is it regular?????

I think it's a matter of personal taste. All 3 cities certainly have their own advantages. I love Udon Thani because of its accessibility, a nice vibrant city with a very large foreign population.excellent hospitals, I think the cheapest of the cities mentioned, everything very central, whether markets, restaurants......the proximity to Vientiane, the Mekong, very good schools and universities, a lot of agricultural area in the surrounding area. The distances between these 3 cities are not that big. I think you can visit them all to get a personal impression.For me personally Udon Thani

If I take into account all the requirements and especially the cost of living, I will definitely not choose any of the metropolises or tourist hotspots. Then I'll see myself in Isan . Udon Thani easily meets all requirements .

Maybe a translation error, I understand that he means that the decision has not yet been published in the Royal Thai Gazette, so it is not yet valid. And that is correct

Why say no to a technically absolutely correct answer?

Even a stupid laughing smiley as a comment is of no use. You should already know a little about the legal situation. I have attached a brief article from Germany.
