Will this be more attractive then Elite Ultimate Privilege Visa for example? Or will all Elite Visa programs be suspended instead? ))

I am interested in special work permits for high net worth retirees and investors. Do they really need it? What about who work abroad with over a million baht cash inflows a year? What about just selling freelance visa for them and their families who wish to work abroad from the Kingdom?

Worse Case:

Domestic tourists 122 million people -trips spending 680 billion baht. 

WOW! Thailand is so wealthy. That's almost twice the population of the whole country!

Yeah. And IF every person would send me a single dollar I'd be a billionaire. LOL

How about selling FREELANCE VISA instead? Guess more people ready to work abroad with their families just buying visa instead of creating fake company with fake Thai partners and fake employees. One million retirees vs one million of geeks with high salaries. No doubt who wins.

So what are the reasons? Do they blame rich tourists who are welcomed and don't spend tons of money in cheap bars and do not rent plenty of cheap houses? Or is it short term tourists who has two weeks of vacation which they for some reasons do not want to spend fully in quarantine? Or is it long term tourists who were not allowed to spend the winter? BTW what happens with SMART visa for IT freelancers which was expected to renovate "soon" after new rules were accepted in December AFAIR? All I see is talking too much and doing nothing. That's why people of Phuket are suffering. Please don't blame foreigners for that.
