They're hoping it'll kick-start the economy. I'm wondering if it may facilitate an exodus of skilled labor from CMB. The expats who left when they tightened Visa requirements may boomerang back now too as it'll be tougher to get a Visa here. 5000B/6 months seems resonable enough too.LINK: http://www.nationmultimedia.com/nationa ... 66029.html

Visa schizophrenia continues in Thailand.

^^^^^ Couldn't fit it in. I used up every space. That's why EntryVisa is one word. Farang will certainly be working on these visas without work permits especially in the bad English schools. You're right about the savings, but the pain in the ass factor is eliminated. Plus, every visit to Immigration leaves the possibility of being considered an abuser of the system and being denied in the past.

wtf?

they are NUTS over there.

make up your minds already.

maybe also prosecute murderers no matter how well connected instead of burmese scapegoats.

that place give me the shits.

i like the people fine- but the gov is just plain cuckoo

By coincidence my last ever triple entry application went into London yesterday, 5,500 in total when you factor in expensive postage and postal order charges. At least one trip to PP before January and possibly check out Vietnam for the first time ever Then it's the non-immigrant o coversion and annual extension of stay which happily will only involve a stroll down to Jomtien immigration. Be glad when its finally over and my travel plans don't have to worked around visa status.

Been in the UK for the last 4 months but I'm wondering when I read the usual mention of "quality" tourists that the reality of the mass influx of Chinese tourists, absence of Russians, decline in traditional markets and neighbours being more open visa wise are all contributing to the about turn. That's on top of the fact of who's running the country and the negative effect that has. Flights from the UK at the moment are the lowest I can ever remember in all my years which will have the fuel effect obviously. Maybe this is a pre-emptive strike ahead of the "high" season.

you have fiends?

do they charge much to go up against enemies?

can they overcome minions?
