  1. Have lighter drug laws had any affect on expat visas/work permits?

    Beeonlotus posted a topic in General Topics
    In 2021, Thailand lightened many of the drug laws, including removing all mandated prison sentences for possession. I'm curious: has this policy change had any effect on other areas of government? For example, if I was convicted of possession of cocaine five years ago, would this be viewed more leniently when applying for work permit/visa? Also, have there been any changes in cases of expats facing lighter repercussions for possession charges? I've heard some stories of people being banned for 20 years for being caught with a gram of marijuana. Thanks in advance.
