I agree but the problem is the strict protocol of where that money is. I have a million dollar property that nets me good rent plus have substantial other investments I make good money on. I don't want to put 40kaus into a low interest account in Thailand and have more than enough funds coming in. That's the floor of the protocol so the agent deal works great for me
You'll definitely be fine with 2 entries so you'll get 6 months no issues. Then it's a matter of luck I believe. They should make official rules for this.
your landlord is supposed to but some won't and it's easy for them to avoid it because you as the tenant gets the fine from immigration and they tell you to get reimbursed by the landlord. A expat scam basically
