For that, the result will only be more hurdles and complicated procedures. An administration system inclines to hide its incapability with artificial, sometimes even arbitrary, complications, to keep adminstrating itself. The very "welcomed" side effect (or intention?), besides the already forced reduction of cash flow, is the "ability", to have control over the funds, and every person, who holds a bank account. The repeatedly prespecified "customer protection" is a secondary badge. So nothing else, as a wishful blueprint of the globalist plans in Western countries.

As "Tax" is the new magic word in TiT, it looks very attractive to the BOT, and the Government, to "copy" the efforts of the 1st world countries to control the money flow, and the assets of the individual. The problem is the common incapability, of being overwhelmed by the details to achieve the announced "big time" tasks. Like on so many bandwagons, they jumped on. Who are the "grey mules" in the database? Locals (Nominees) also, or only "foreigners"? What is a "high-risk" account? What is the content of this "circular"? What, and how will the flags be managed "efficiently"? Who legitimizes the freezing of an account? A branch supervisor? Here we are again. More hurdles of "documentation", photocopies, and paper shoveling. From here to here, from there to there. Who (again), determines the limiting of available services of an account? The branch supervisor? "Protect customer transactions" sounds always very good, but it is usually abused to implement transaction -limits, or even locks, and to get control of assets. Good customer protection is a secured, and reliable App. Not to limit the freedom of the user, to command his funds. Btw, the main reasons for online fraud are greediness and bargain hunting of naive people, who are getting scammed. The banks never took, and never will take any responsibility for online fraud. More or less, the common substanceless phrases. At least, the main aim gets clear: Control everybody and everything.

Another breakthrough.

Now the "hub" for vintage cars... With 100% import tax on cars and parts. Oops, yeah, right! Taxes are doing the new magic. And Somchai is maintaining "Gullwings", and "E-types" in his backyard shag. Give me a breake.

Even the Chinese average tourist doesn't come anymore, without the "zero $" tours. The main aim of China is the "Export" of goods, not "tourists". They are flooding the country with their cheap crap, taking out the local production. Due to those "super smart" treaty arrangements, and actually, the flirting with the BRICS countries. Desperate, and helpless on the downbound train.

The uneducated are more pleased... Surprise, surprise!

Maybe, the survey was held at "universities", as the "average".

Come on. Even puppets have the right, trying to save their arse. He was an interim figure from his first day, as PM. The face of the sell out of the MFP. “The ??? has done his duty, the ??? can go!”.

To invest in a circus "hub", you should be a clown.

“Double entry”. That's exactly what it is. It doesn't make sense? To whom? “Conventions? Suddenly”? Lol. Flip-Flop, Flop-Flip... Buy it, and check it out! The 3rd entry, or extension (for 180 days), will be a personal highlight. At least, 5 years time to choose, when to go for the 3rd attempt. Or, just not.

"Thai Exeminer" exists ways longer, as the most of this average Joe, AI crap. If they use it, they know how to use the software. That's the point. Obviously, they're rechecking the articles, before they get published. I don't like their videos, though. That's AI for sure.

Find out, whose pocket the rent was stashing up, for the places, where it has been obsoletely stored, all those years.

It's not about Russians, or whatever nationality. It's about wannabe “super smart” foreigners. Some getting lured into dodgy setups, indeed. By shady lawyers, agencies, other expats lurking around, pretending to be “friends”. This circumvents to bend the law (if it's “intelligent” or not, is another issue), are as old as the law itself, and is common practice since decades. Nobody cares, everything is so fine, and super easy. Until someone steps out of bed with the wrong foot. Suddenly, a lot of “smarts" are dumbed. And within the “crackdowns” cheering crowd, many thinking about themselves, they're completely “legal”, because they're not “Russian”, or not from Timbuktu. Very secure about, what they did sign here, and there… The opportunities to buy property, to work, to set up business on the safe side, are not too many. But it's possible, though complicated. Aka, at least, there should have been a couple of "Sang Som", or a dinner with “Somchai”, (the 51% nominee) together. Knowing his real name would also be an advantage. But in many cases it looks like, the urge to buy land/condos, to set up businesses, to work in LalaLands “thriving” economy (with a weed shop?), is stronger as common sense, or cautiousness. Maybe, “outsmarting” all the hurdles, is the challenge.

Not this article is a mess, the "LaLa-Land" fairytale announcements, are a mess. The name “Destination Thailand Visa” alone, is a joke for itself. Usually, "Examiner" articles are much better researched, as many of the AI spoiled clickbait articles, of known other Farang-“news”-agencies. Examiner just can reflect on the information, what's being given in the “announcement”. Until now, a rough frame of thoughts. The only facts, so far, is the price, and the money you've to bring with you (subject to change). To be not too harsh, the creative guys seem not to have a glance about the already existing mountains of bureaucrat garbage created in multiple decades. Considering different visa types, and all these engaged agencies in the processing. Plus the discretionary modified rules on local levels. To sort that out, the only way would be to cancel most of the current schemes, and restart right from scratch. But this is not gonna happen, if you just consider the tens of thousands paper-shovelling employees, in need to be engaged.

Dream on! After it's coming out, that it will take another year, until it's introduced (if at all), it is the usual “hot air”, and a lot of smoke about nothing. One year time, for the desk-jockeys, to put their two cents into the small print. In the end, they might create another bureaucrat monster, that could “boost” the photocopy industry. But not too many want to, or can qualify for.

It could be get categorized, aka. a single entry visa. After stamping in, 'its void, marked as “used”, or just crossed out with a remark. (like re-entry permits) and it doesn't matter how much time of validity is left. Just imagine a “2 entry visa”, which also gets voided (used), by local IO after one extension. Everything is possible, and you never know what they're making up. It will be not the hassle-free DN “super-wellness-long-stay-package”, for sure.

“Duration” of allowed stay, is the stamp for 180 days. You can extend after the 180 days (1 time) for another 180 days at the local IO, or stamp out. And, reentry for another 180, after you left the country. In both cases, (if you used up 360 days) the visa gets void. There is no “long stay”. That would be logical, and that's how I get it, when I consider their mentioned “one time extension”. “Validity” is the period of time, you can use the visa, to enter the country. Like the usual Non-Immigrant-ME, O and B, have one year validity. You can enter the country on the 365th day, to get stamped (in the last time) for the corresponding days of the visa type. After that, t's void, and time for shopping again. So the 5 years “Validity”, or who knows, what they ever mean by that, is the “key” point of it all. So waiting about further details, and what they're going to fiddle around in the small prints, is the best to do. I don't expect any breakthrough.

That's what I said. 180 days, times 2 = 360 days. Within 5 years. If you used up 360 days, in whatever timeframe, you might apply for a “new” one (360 days, to use within 5 years). That's how I understand it. Who thinks, he can bounce out every 180 days, coming back, as many times he likes, each time for max. 180 days in a period of 5 years… Lol, this would be Easter-, Christmas-, and New Year's Day on the same date. This will never happen. Because it would ridicule, all other types of visa/eos. In the end, it's only about government revenue (where I can follow), but also half cooked, in context with xenophobia.

“If” it will be conducted this way at the end, and “if” you purchase this visa, it's for 2 times 180 days, within 5 years. Period! So, many of the current “grey-zone-Resident-DNs” (on whatever kind of visa/extension of stay) staying in the country, in their villas, without any budgets, (what I've read here), would be taking out themselves, after 360 days. Naturally, beside those (the super-smart exceptions), which are always confirming the rule. Lol.

No business in Thailand, or with Thai companies, but still “work”, even if it's remotely. = grey-zone, because you're physically in Thailand, and so you're working in/from Thailand. Otherwise, this visa would be obsolete, beside the revenue, what I mentioned.

A good question! All those, who are cheering here about the new regulation, classifying themselves proudly as a DN, might be actually acting, and working, at least, in a “grey zone”? So, could it be a way, an attempt, to “cash in” from those people, and reduce their stay to a maximum of 2 times 180 days, within 5 years? The price and the conditions are also not a real sell-off bargain. If you buy this Visa, you're booked, nailed, and on the radar, as a “potentially” working DN in the IO, and also of the IRS system.

In short: Desperate activism, to gather more tourist dollars. Seems to be the “last resort”. Mainly, regarding short term visits. Regarding long term stay, or EOS nothing really new. Old cooked up stuff, in a new box. Like always, there'll be coming a lot of changes, exceptions, in the small print. No reason to cheer, no reason to panic. Just reasons to speculate. “Hot air”, until I see it on the official Immigration Web Page. Knowing, that it will take time, until any new conditions “reached” all the 70+ IOs. Beside the usual, individual modifications of the procedure on a daily basis.

Just another step to teach, who is the real owner of your money, who decides about, how, when, for what, you'll get access to it. As usual, in Thialand, the efforts to jump on bandwagons, are clumsy due to the average dilettantism. It just takes a bit longer, until anything works normal again. But, all only for your own safety. To fight human trafficking, child-porn, internet fraud, money laundering, tax evasion, terrorism, etc. are favourite samaritan reasons for it.

Socially indoctrinated, devotedly acting, is no evidence for the understanding of "respect". 5 to 6 Sang Som, security uniforms, motorbike taxi vests, or a combination of it, let implode the "highly respectful" customs, often and easily. Showing a very ugly face under the surface. As the recent security "mob" assault, in Pattaya, Soi 6, is clearly proving. So, stop trying to lecture, with "Lonly Planet" wisdoms.
