Thankyou for sharing the experience , is it 80 k US each ? I'm probably right on the cusp income wise , but I'd be interested in this visa , are there other options ?
You have worked out actual cost well , cars are expensive always look at actual cost and depreciation, the cost will be similar in Thailand , depending very much on which area you decide to reside .
You need reentry for the Kingdom in general 1k for one yes , 4.3k for multiple , no difference where you report , it's an exit visa ..I always buy one on renewal .
