anyone who actually qualifies for LTR isn’t worried about start up costs. It’s only 50k baht. It’s actually cheaper than 10 multi-entry retirement extensions. And zero annual visits to bank and immigration and zero reporting.

I suppose most retirees value their time at least a bit.

right. Tourism follows different patterns. Which is why there is not limit on air entries. Many people doing different things and have different needs and or patterns. Offshore workers may enter 6-12 times annually. Business people. Someone touring SE Asia etc.

There is no visa that fits your pattern at present. If you later decide you will stay longer, there are options for long term stay visas

there are thousands who enter multiple times per year. There is no pattern to tourism. Many can afford it. Zero chance he gets denied for a 4th entry

There is no limit to number of air entries. If your purpose is clearly tourism, you will have no issues

DTV suits those who didn’t save well enough for LTR. For all, there are clear and unequivocal advantage to LTR. Feel free to look it up. Cheers

I clearly just acknowledged that. Lost my temper lol. Had some laughs at your expense.

You were one of the lads spouting silliness about the DTV being far superior to LTR and that LTR peeps would be switching 😂.

There are more than enough of you endlessly pushing standing in line to save a few baht. But clearly not the case for many people. Like the poster here. So I simply answer the question and the circumstances. Rather than desperately trying to save a few baht and wasting time. Which by the way, is valuable to some of us

1. The poster has not indicated intent or ability to transfer 65k. So thus we are obviously at the 800k discussion point.

Why on earth would you be led to believe it’s the cheaper end of the market lol. You can’t afford 14k baht annually for a zero hassle retirement visa?? Who would be desperate enough to line up annually at bank and immigration to save 12,100 baht? That’s low end mate. Maybe you live bureaucracy. But many retirees value their time. And 12,100 baht per year is a pittance. But apparently not to you. That’s a sad state of affairs

@Mark *******
I just did. And clearly you are the only one on the thread who doesn’t grasp it.
