Man, stop the Russian/non Russian war.  Thailand does not care about the Tourism industry anymore. It represents less than 1% of the GDP, We are no wanted anymore, Russians or not.

[CiaranO]

You seem like a bitter guy. Maybe u seem hard some by I don't know.

You can stay here. Buy the elite card at 500000 thb and you can stay.

You have options.

Thai economy receives around 7% of its GDP from international tourism revenue, a figure which is nonetheless a substantial 550 billion Baht (nearly USD 16 billion).

1 mil a year isn't "money", that's only 2700 a day.

at 1 mil a year, that means the equivalent of 550, 000 of the OP.

[chiang mai]

Local Thai's who exist happily on 300 Baht a day would disagree, they will say that 2,700 a day is serious money, maybe you're in the wrong country.

Anyway my point was that there is a missing Visa in Thailand, the equivalent of the "Exceptional Ability" Visa in the USA.

People who are successful in business, or have done something out of the ordinary should be able to come here to bring their brain and experience in this country (their money too).

But something that is not only based on old retired falang or people who are running a local business.

Do you feel that you would qualify for a USA National Interest Waiver?

 

 

I have stayed 4 years in Miami under a O-1 visa so I guess and can answer yes!

Specialist visas are available but the ones who are complaining aren't doing anything that a Thai can't do.

But this is Thailand, rural Thai's comprise a vast majority of the population, better than 80%. Why, if foreigners want to come to Thailand to live should they expect more than that?

The point being that 500K is chump change for the rich and the OP shouldn't even bat an eyelid at it. 

[Bernard Flint]

Sorry OP, you are talking total crap.You dont work,but you want a bakery or you want to work in Cambodia.Troll i call

It's happy hour now. That's the only time they can afford a beer. They will be back 8 pm when the normal prices start

[nikkoid66]

I just noticed that I was unable to read Thaivisa anymore, or Facebook. But all the rest of the web was working. I used a VPN which now I am using to post this.

Conclusion, someone has blocked Thai Visa and Facebook for my Thai IP.

These things do not happen randomly.

um, but we're not Thai, we're not rural Thai, we shouldn't come expecting to be getting the same benefits as the poorest of the Thais... especially if we come beating the "I've got money" drum then expect to be only compared to the poorest in the country.

 

actually if you come beating the "I've got money" drum, you should be compared to the richest of Thais.

[moe666]

Pleasedo not read any more about the elite program it is only for people who really know something about Thailand like Thai is spoken country wide even in Chiang Mai, you do know there is a City called Chiang Mai right. The Philippines would love to have you.

So a non Thai national should be regarded in the same category as as the richest Thai's?

 

Really, teachers, retirees backpackers and all!

 

You haven't thought this through, I can tell.

Hey, I'm just trying to challenge your point of discussion!

 

You state you should be treated in the same way as the richest Thai, your position is not defensible and along with so many of your breatheren these days who can't debate or support their spouting with fact or reasoned argument, you push back on the readings skills of your challenger, You're too funny, really.

[yoslim]

Thailand Elite is complete crap:

 

100,000 a year vs 2000 for retirement visa

tourist visa vs non-imm which means 1 year driving licence. seriously you pay 50 times more money and you have to deal renewing your driving licence every year

zero guarantee of what might happen to your visa if there is more political turmoil

 

I couldn't help but feel like a mug buying the card

you've totally missed my point and gone off on a tangent.

Thailand doesn't want young foreigners with money, because some people would slip through the cracks and work illegally as English teachers or tour guides in their native European language or some other similar job that most Thai people are 100% qualified to do if not for these dastardly foreigners.

They prefer lots of elderly Pattaya sexpats on retirement visas instead. That is how you maintain a positive image in the eyes of the world.
