Every place has their good and bad things. Isn't it better to focus on the good rather than the bad? Especially if the bad can be easily overcome.

Long time lurker, first time poster here. If this comes to fruition with the conditions and benefits that are stated in the brochure from BOI, then this Visa option looks highly interesting. The IT industry is going fully remote and pays very well, so finding a job that pays more than 80k and allows you to work from anywhere (as long as you comply with tax rules etc.) is getting easier and easier. Working for a company based somewhere like in the US or in Singapore but living in Thailand and paying 17% income tax looks very attractive, especially since it could lead to permanent residency down the road, making future retirement in Thailand a breeze. I'm already in contact with a couple of previous employers to see if their HR department would find an arrangement like this workable.
