Is it really that quiet?

[AdamTheFarang 283]

Hi, I read manyy tourists are not coming, but are places like Phuket, Koi Samui that quiet for long term residents, retirement, business owners etc, that stay all year.

 

Is the long term permanent living in Thailand expat community leaving and if so why? I remember when Thailand was cheap, but this is a two sided currency issue.

 

I have been told that insurance is not needed for the retirement visa.

 

For all others that run business, do they now need visas?

 

How many people have left that you know?

Look for a story tomorrow 'Refused at......'

Ask in the Phuket forum and the Samai forum how business is in those places. This does not belong in the visa forum.

Also this has no place in the Visa forum. Try the General Topics forum.

There is no such thing as a "retirement visa", but a Cabinet Resolution of February 2019 suggests that foreigners applying for a retirement visa should be required to have insurance.

They do not now need visas, but they need and have always needed a work permit to run a business.

I doubt very much that anyone can answer this question.

As the opening post of this topic looks very much like a troll post, this topic is now closed.

 

I suggest to the OP that he should read the various topics on the subjects he is interested in on this forum and ask any reasonable questions he has in an intelligibe manner on the respective topics.
