I entered Thailand in January because my Thai wife is very ill (thyroid cancer) as explained on my TM6. I was informed only 1 visa on entry will be granted yearly as well as 1 30 day extension. Now Thailand is going to 1 30 day on entry visa and 1 30 day extension per year to "boost tourism'. I attempted to deposit 400,000 Thai baht in a bank with a certificate of residency issued by Immigration and no Thai bank would allow me to open an account without a long term visa. As I am retired, with vast savings, they only will accept a 40,000/month income for a Type O married visa(been with my Thai wife over 20 years). Being retired I receive 38,000 baht a month US Social Security which fluctuates with the baht (US Social Security not taxable by Thailand under tax agreements). I will leave soon and my Thai wife will have no transportation or support as she progresses in her illness. Thailand is driving tourists and expats away with its"boost tourism" changes designed to only let rich elite people into the country beyond 30 days yearly. Read all the tourism changes reported recently and tell me I am wrong.
