Always thinking about my Thailand trip. (alien.top)

Its been April since I came back.

I always had a good time there, culture, people, food, nature, short term friends and some dating

Here I have high rent, no long term friends, non existant dating, it makes me always think about booking a ticket back, including all my friends saying they will go

Anyone have a similiar feeling?

I do have it. The issue is the visa. I work remote on an island where I have my tax residency

Get a muay thai education visa. Costs 35k baht and you can stay six months

Or have the cooking class. Sadly thats just a 2-3 months more solution than tourist visa

Your name is young and wealthy. Just get Thai Elite visa. Super easy.

Or apply for LTR visa under wealthy citizen category. More paperwork but still easy if you are high networth

It's not the money, its staying time, they tripled the visa, also I feel money could be spent better elsewhere. Why would I spend 2k on a flight when I can spend 700? Same reasoning, thai elite tripled in price and is invite only.

then just apply for the LTR visa. It's cheap.

or setup a company and get a non-b visa.

Thai Elite isn't invite only, only the top tier is. I'm a Thai Elite member.
