BTW you're gonna need fast Internet where you stay if relying on it for work

i dont need fast internet btw , and is getting fast internet a problem or what?

You can get fast... but you need reliable.

I don't even have reliable electricity....

You go for a big pot and.... black out ....welcome to Thailand.

@poorsucker how often do u get electricity cut off?

@jingthing i never heard of anybody going to cambodia, just know that every poker player relocates to thailand so there must be something about it, did also heard about few which moved then to vietnam cuz it was cheaper or idk what. I dont even know what i need for cambodia, we dont even have consulate or embassy for cambodia, didnt even heard about that coutnry before lol

What sort of income do you think you can generate with your online thing?
If it is adequate to live in Cambodia then based on my current knowledge of Cambodian "business" visas you could live long term there.

You basically just buy the visa in Cambodia. Not sure about entry requirements for your nationality. Do some research if you're interested.

Again, I think you should forget about Thailand.

@kunmatt so how much do i need to gather to get me started in thai and why?

@jingthing been living from online poker only since october , since then i earned maybe 3500eur but it can be just variance, and i also didnt invest too much time and procrastinated lot, but i could maybe say that some 800eur/month might be easily doable i guess? would that be enough?

but i agree that i kind of feel not super safe to go with such little budget, but i heard people went there with much less than 5k, heard like with 2k eur etc

The Thai Elite visa is 12,500 Euros and lasts for 5 years. It's the only route that fits your situation as you are not a student or and employee in Thailand nor do you have any Thai family.

Even with that you still cannot gamble legally in Thailand.

So your options are going the illegal route and either overstaying or doing a fake ED visa, something which I wouldn't recommend for various reasons but mostly for peace of mind as it's no way to be living.

Your monthly expenses depends on your lifestyle. You can exist here on 800 Euros but you will be living like a pauper.

Try somewhere else. If it was me I'd be looking at Burma or Laos or Philippines. Depends on what type of lifestyle you want.

ok guys u got me, not going to thailand, gonna earn more money and re-decide later, going to thailand now wouldnt be probably best option, and going there just as an holiday is just unnecessary luxury spew imo now

btw my dream anyway is to live forever in japan, does someone know if its even possible? or some ways? student visas or w/e? does they have like thailand elite visa too?
btw i wanted to go thailand only cuz it was cool amongst poker players , and i ve seen some utube vids like this:

and from that u get that awsum picture of thai but how far is it from reality?

btw i love this ladyboy from thai:

For visas to Japan, please post in the forum "visas and migration to other countries"

Good idea to save more money.

The OP sounds under capitalized for Thailand, Cambodia, certainly Japan, or pretty much ANYWHERE.
