Immigration Crackdowns don't exist, Education Visas are being purchased by hundreds that would rather not return to Moscow, business as usual everywhere.........
They bought it, agent I assume he said around 15,000 Hua Hin - Phuket 50-60,000, 2 classes a week ( they chose English language ), corruption at its best...
My young Russian temporary neighbour who escaped to Thailand and now they have left for Hua Hin after purchasing an Education Visa to live in peace for a year and go to class twice a week, she mentioned on one occasion that the majority here are Putin supporters..... something is definitely wrong here................
Well whoever is skipping their return flights and are under 50 only option is Education Visa which are for sale I've been told by my Russian neighbour who fled - Phuket 50-60,000 baht, Hua Hin 15-20,000 baht....brown bags......
Makes ya wonder if Thai Authorities in late October where aware for many Ruskies it was not the usual holiday escape but a one-way ticket with no intention of returning in 45-60-90 days........
I've got a young couple Russian neighbour ( He's a fleeing soldier ), they are off to Hua Hin next month where they can purchase an Education Visa for 15-20,000 baht and apparently the going rate in Phuket is 50-60,000 baht........corruption corruption flourishing due to the Ukraine War.............
