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.
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)
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
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.
