🎉Good news! The Thai government has announced a new visa category specifically for digital nomads and freelancers, which is undoubtedly a great boon for cryptocurrency traders and developers. 🌴
This new visa allows applicants to work in Thailand for nearly a year, costs $270, and is valid for five years. The stay period is 180 days, but can be extended for another 180 days for the same fee, which means that the holder can work in Thailand for nearly 12 months at a time. 🏖️
However, this new visa is not something that can be applied for casually. For those working remotely in Thailand, a minimum of approximately $13,650 will need to be provided as a sponsorship for spouse and children. 💰
This new visa is different from the long-term resident "Thailand Work" visa, which is more difficult to obtain, stipulates a minimum average personal annual income of $80,000, and requires medical insurance coverage. 🏥
Overall, this new visa is good news for cryptocurrency traders and developers, but it also requires certain conditions to be met. 🎯
