General speaking, yes, just set one step before the other. A passport is only a theoretical issue.

Politicians and beaurocrats screwing up everything... as usual.

Tourists changing to other location will not come back again. That is a general experience.

Daniel, that would be good, but nobody knows the thinking of the Thai political elite.

Ivan I have no intention to do that. And I'm not very fond of people telling me, what I have to do with MY money.

, what if I don't want to put 800k at risk of vanishing within the Thai banking system? There are repeated cases, where huge amounts of money miraculously vanished. And beside that, 800K can work for me to make more money instead of laying around on some dumb account.

I'm here on a NON-IM O/M visa and get me new visas issued every year in my "home country", i.e. where I hold nationality, but not residence.

What about that majority, who's home is in Thailand?

International flights are scarce and prohibitive expensive right now. Unless you had booked and paid before the lockdown.

To me it looks like everything is guesswork for the time after July 31st.

Most sensible would be to extend the current situation until borders around are open and a suitable amount of flight are available again.

But frankly I doubt, the Thai government will allow an extention of the status quo.
