BOI proposes new smart visa rules to lure foreign talent, digital nomads

Well, that's me! And apparently, this smart VISA program to attract tech talent started sometime in 2018, and provides 4 year multi-entry VISAs without requirement of a work permit. Sure wish I would have known that before I got deported.

Maybe have to contact the government here, and see if I can get that blacklist lifed a little prematurely in exchange for some free teaching, or something.

Comes from the guy who has the highly skilled job of checking whether or not deep fryers and kitchen floors are clean.

The 2018 smart visa was completely useless for digital nomads.
At that time, I checked with an immigation lawyer and the requirements were excessive. No wonder only 514 foreigners applied..

I hope that the smart visa 2.0 will actually be smart for once..

I think you've smelled too much gas from all those kitchens you've been inspecting, because even 7 year olds can come up with better insults than that.
