and they make it nearly impossible to get another type of visa. Can't get a bank account without a hassle. It's not gaming the system to want to come several times.
we went to Cambodia for a month a couple of years ago. It was amazing. Going there again in a few weeks. Thinking about getting a 5 year visa in Thailand but worried about changes and hoops to jump thru.
a 6 month visa should be for someone that wants to stay for several months not for someone that wants to come up and down between countries. If you get a 6 month you have to pay for the visa instead of coming in for free and you have to pay a reentry fee to come back into the country. Even if you were only here for 6 weeks they would ding you for going in and out. That's messed up
it's a messed up system. We don't want to stay long term. We want to come and go many times between Malaysia Thailand and Cambodia. They force us to stay longer in the country to avoid coming in and out too many times.
