what has that got to do with whether I am a tourist or not? 🤣🤣🤣
Stephen ********
@John ***************
they can, but that's irrelevant as I meet their criteria. A tourist doesn't meet their criteria. Now, can we get back on topic? 🤣

obviously I have the right to stay in the country longer without having to leave. I am able to have personal bank accounts. 🤷‍♂️

@John ***************
yes, hence a business account. This post is purely to let people know what is happening with their business account app. That is all. Its not a "rights" discussion 🤷‍♂️

define tourist and define long term resident. Has nothing to do with rights a foreigner has (or has not) vs the rights of a thai person.

i understand that after 1 year that its possible for for an extension not to renewed. But anyone on a long stay visa/ extension is still not classed as a tourist 🤷‍♂️

@John ***************
seriously? A Non o or non b resident is NOT a tourist. Simple as that. Still a guest, but not a tourist

@John ***************
when anyone on a Non O or Non B visa/extension, then you are not regarded as a tourist.
