Lots of pushback tho from the xenophobic elites

Not just xeno hisos, more like the entire visa agency – corrupt Thai Immigration pushing back because this will eliminate nearly all of their bribery schemes

What are the categories for 180 days?

[Barbara]

– remote workers and freelancers (docs required)
– taking Muay Thai or cooking classes etc.
– have spouse or children in Thailand

Apparently retirement visas are still only offered as 1 year renewals however, they were not included in this new 5 year system with 180 periods.
