The under 50's not working group has a legitimate worry.. They dont honour what they commit to.

After reading that entire thread consisting of over 70 post (in about 24 hours), I am not sure what to think. Obviously if the issuing of tourist visa is reduced to an extend where one cannot make a 12 months cycle a lot of tourists "living" in Thailand need to reassess their situation.

It seems to me that the thread exclusively dealt with visa's 60 days and more and applicable 30 day extensions. It is not clear to me if this (as of yet) has affected the 30 day tourist visa issued upon arrival. 2nd, will people with two passports be able to obtain alternating visas in each of the pass ports.

One thing that has puzzled me ever since I heard the term "visa-run", was that it by nature is a way to circumvent the rules (whether tolerated or not), hence one should not assume that they have the right to continuously get visa renewals. On the other hand if an individual has no other way of staying in Thailand, I do not blame them for practicing such techniques.

I will be interesting to follow this situation, and hopefully it will not have too much of an adverse effect on those who have "settled" in Thailand as permanent tourists.
