A poll shows Thais are against the liberalisation of alcohol, cannabis, vaping and gambling... but where did the poll come from? Thai government diesel subsidy remains until July, Thailand has the most gold reserves, another British man needing a crowdfunding campaign to get urgent medical attention, Bali ban on motorbike hires for foreigners.

It's true that the LTR visa isn't for everyone. For one, tourists are definitely not the target market.  But for those who qualify and wish to work, the LTR and its digital work permit is a very favorable alternative to the NonB visa/work permit combination or the Elite card which doesn't even allow work.  And as a true Long Term Residency visa, on many measures it also compares favorably to the old Permanent Residency program and is more "popular."

 

To say it's the program is a failure because "millions" haven't been granted is pretty much missing the point.  BoI has said no one ever expected millions, the targets were exaggerated to get the program approved and in place. I'm thankful it is in place, it is such an improvement over the alternatives.
