Puzzler Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 It's time Thailand realised that the very wealthy might like to come to Thailand but don't "need" to. All these very expensive offers are a waste of time. Without a reopened border, as it used to be - but easier, Thailand will utterly destroy it's own tourist industry and the attractiveness of the country as a destination. So sad.

Of course now I have to get an ASQ hotel, repatriation flight, and insurance for a year before I can get a COE. Then I have to test negative for covid 72 hours before my flight or else I have to do this all over again. What a pain, but at least there seems to be a way back now. Unbelievable, I think it's over for me now after ten years. They have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckenfell Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 With Thailand going down the "gurgler" at such a rate of knots, what makes anyone think that a shrewed businessman who has accumulated money, be prepared to gamble it all away by investing in Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaopad999 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) Who the heck is going to want to invest 10 million THB into this country, all for a better visa with the danger of them just changing the rules again overnight? ????

ronaldo0 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I have seen people selling property last month in samui stating 5 year visa included with the property . Of course they just add it to an already high property price . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrTuner Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 In honor of Thai consistency in matters and the OP, I think the following quote is appropriate. 'The angle of the dangle is directly proportional to the swing of the thing.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggles45 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Is it really a 5/20 year visa or is it just a one year visa that you must renew an extension every 12 months and report every 90 days like the existing one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to make distinctions. The Thailand Elite membership is 5-20 years. You get a plastic credit card thing with the expiry date on it. The PE (Privileged Entry) visa is valid until end of membership, or until expiry of passport (You'll get a new one in the new passport, max. until expiry of the TE membership) Upon entry with a PE visa, you get a 1y permit to stay stamp. You can extend that every 12 months at the immigration, or simply do a "visa run" for another 1y stamp. This is for the Easy Access at least, the older versions of Thailand Elite had another type of visa I think? 90 days reporting is regardless of the visa/extension type, applies to all temporary stays.

Prince77 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) How desperate they think foreigners are to be in Thailand? A registered capital of 2 Mio. THB will make a company including one year non immigrant type B visa and a work permit and they talk about millions of US$ Edited October 14, 2020 by Prince77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many ways to skin a cat, the trap has been set for decades now. Edited October 14, 2020 by DrTuner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
