a dtv visa is not getting you anywhere long term it’s a visa that can be scrapped when ever the government feel like it’s a tourist visa . A student visa sure it’s an option but not everybody wants to spend 10 hours per week learning Thai I have done it as it’s good to know Thai if here long term but an education visa is still not a long term play
I think you can’t read or your missing the memo hence people have no other choice but to use it as theirs limited options I am well aware the meaning of tourist visa but with limited visa options obviously you will have people using it for other reasons .
I’m not on about a holiday I am on about people having to use visa runs as their is very limited options for long term if your under 50 dtv is latest one and that’s a technically a tourist visa that can be scrapped when ever . I know plenty of people who come here on a holiday 6 months of the year every year as a holiday you have plenty of people that do well an vacation half the year . They complain about tourism but make it harder for people hence why tourism is down in Thailand up in Vietnam . That’s not complaining that’s just facts on what they complain about and then the choices they make . But me personally I’m not on about holiday visa I’m on about the lack of actual visa to live here and for people to have to use them . Grand if you’re over 50 under 50 and want a long term plan to live here it’s challenging . It’s their country so their rules but be nice if they made more options would benefit expats and the Thai economy
yes all true but you would question the logic of it to a certain extent . Tourism isn’t exactly booming even border runs bring in decent money but with that you rather have spenders or cheap Charlie’s . Either way they should make more visas options would help .
were you dealing with a fat rude lady had similar issue up in that border last month lady was extremely rude got no answers from her and ended up having to pay some bloke to drive in and out
was a it a fat rude lady I had issue with her last week I have an Irish passport . Would not let me come back in if I left had to fly in ended up costing me 7500 another random guy approached me getting me in by car lol
