What are the important considerations for obtaining a visa to live in Thailand?
Stephen ********
Yes there are 'wrinkles' and Inconsistencies- in interpretation at different offices - and sometimes with different officers.

But maybe much of what you read is from people trying to game the system. Finding ways to stay beyond 'design' of their visa.

Most people just stay within the rules with no problems.
