omg highly unlikely if coming in say 3 times a year for a month at a time

@Wayne ********
does the ip want to live in thailand or does he want to visit a number times as a tourist? I think that's my point, a tourist visa is a proper visa for that purpose.
Stephen ********
@Wayne ********
I get it with visa exempt, but with tourist visas there's less chance of being stopped

@Wayne ********
I understand, but I didn't pick up living long term from the post

spends like the OP wants to visit Thailand multiple tomes as a tourist, I couldn't see where they want to live there. 🤷‍♂️ I used to go 4 times a year, others go more times. All on either tourist visa (real visa) or visa exempt (no visa)

@Wayne ********
a tourist visa is a real visa. If an embassy issues it then it's unlikely entry would be refused.

@Tore ********
my only thought in that is that you can't compound interest if you are withdrawing it to pay rent. Yes, if there is some unrest then that's when the proverbial hits the fan

@Tore ********
is compound interest not where you leave the interest in the account to get interest on that interest? I didn't say condos were zero risk, but implying that investing in a market to get the return I mentioned wasn't zero risk either.

so you choose FQ and legally own it. I was replying the comment implying a foreigner cannot legally own a condo 🤷‍♂️
