Popular Post Thaifly88 Posted June 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2021 I doubt if anybody fulfilling these requirements will need to work. They already have enough to live comfortably. So the carrot of working without a permit probably doesn’t count for much. As for buying Thai land - no South East Asian country allows this - this will be retracted soon, they are not serious , just using it as bait :) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Crusader Posted June 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2021 Hmm...as mentioned by one or two above - another ridiculous list of dreams...and there is never anything for the many thousands of expats who have been here for years, and spent many, many millions of baht, pay tax each year (many Thais don't), and generally help the economy big time. Seems like we just don't count for anything - so why would more want to come here? 8 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ThLT Posted June 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2021 Quote They must be earning $80,000 for the last two years or $40,000 a year. [...] They must have qualifications of at least a bachelor's degree and five years experience [...] They would be nomads in stock trading at companies making at least 50 million dollars per year over three years or they would be working for corporations that make at least one billion dollars a year. That pretty much cancels out almost 100% of "digital nomads." I think they have the wrong definition of the term "digital nomad," and are thinking more of something closer to "international/distance employees." (From my understanding of the term, "digital nomads" are usually freelancers, and don't work for companies/corporations. They usually have their own "company," sell products online, have paying clients, etc. Their "company" probably doesn't each make 50 million-1 billion a year, but many easily have a higher salary than $40,000-80,000.) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I noticed that even if you buy land and a house and own it...the visa is only 10 years, so if your situation changes they could just tell you to get out of the country and leave you house and land behind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JonnyF Posted June 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2021 (edited) Every well heeled foreigner dreams of coming to a junta led SE Asian country where in times of a pandemic they are placed alongside the homeless in terms of importance. They can also be insulted by Anutin as part of the bargain. They can be called dirty and unwashed by a corrupt politician. Then they can report every 90 days like a criminal on parole. What a dream for the wealthy. I've heard there there are loads of cheap properties in Monaco as the super rich sell up and flee in their droves to unvaccinated Thailand to be treated like shheeit.

Popular Post Enzian Posted June 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2021 They come across as insecure and transparently unreliable. Business thrives on certainty for long term planning, and anyone reading this would know not to trust these smiling time-servers. For 1,900 baht I can renew my Non-O for a year, at least at the moment, that's all I can know, and enough for the moment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
