I have a 11k female customer list that each bought a 49$ pdf gym guide 2 years ago. What can I offer them now?

I thought about creating a new brand with a similar product and use the list for meta ads but how effective is that really?

Just drag an HTML widget somewhere on the site and paste this; no CSS or Plugin needed.

<script>
window.addEventListener('load', function () {
  setTimeout(function () {
    jQuery('.elementor-accordion .elementor-tab-title').removeClass('elementor-active');
    jQuery('.elementor-accordion .elementor-tab-content').hide();
    jQuery('.elementor-accordion .elementor-tab-title').attr('aria-expanded', 'false');
  }, 500);
});

Phuket Immigration has officially confirmed a new 1-year visa for foreign property buyers and high-end renters. This is now LIVE as a pilot program and could expand if successful. The goal is simple: bring foreign money into Thailand’s struggling property market.

But it’s not that straightforward. There’s already political pushback, local concerns, and strict rules around eligibility and compliance.

Quick Breakdown (What Actually Qualifies):

  • Buy a condo ≥ ฿3M → Eligible for 1-year renewable visa
  • Rent ≥ ฿85,000/month → Also eligible (must prepay rent)
  • Applies to condos, houses, and long-term leases
  • Phuket only (for now, sandbox test)

Important Rules You Can’t Ignore:

  • ❌ No automatic right to work
  • ✔ Work permit still required separately
  • ✔ 90-day reporting still mandatory
  • ✔ Must go through authorized agents only
  • ✔ Full screening: ownership, payments, legal compliance

What They’re Trying to Do:

  • Fix massive property oversupply
  • Attract foreign capital and long-stay residents
  • Boost tax revenue and local spending

Why People Are Pushing Back:

  • Locals fear rising foreign influence in housing
  • Concerns about illegal businesses and subletting
  • Some say ฿3M entry is too low
  • Political tension since late 2025 rollout

Reality Check:

  • This is a controlled test, not a free pass
  • Multiple verification layers are in place
  • Enforcement is expected to be strict
  • Program may change quickly depending on backlash

Who This Is Really For:

  • Long-stay foreigners already in Phuket
  • Investors looking for residency + lifestyle
  • High-income renters who don’t want to buy

Pro Tip:

  • Get your paperwork clean before applying
  • Expect delays while the system is still being refined
  • Use authorized agents only or risk rejection

This is one of the clearest signals yet that Thailand wants long-term foreign residents, but only under tight control.

Recent updates from the US Embassy in Bangkok (April 2026) require all visa applicants (especially student F/M/J, but expanding) to set social media profiles to PUBLIC for vetting.

Consular officers now review your full online presence (past 5 years) to verify identity, check security risks, and ensure consistency with your application. Failure to comply?

Expect delays, extra docs, or denial.

Quick Action Steps (Do These NOW):

- Audit Everything: Scroll back 5 years on FB, IG, TikTok, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, blogs/forums. Delete/archive risky posts (politics, controversies, mismatches with your story).

- Set to Public: Adjust privacy to full access (not "friends only"). Update bios/profiles to match visa intent (e.g., study plans).

- Consistency Check: Ensure online info aligns with DS-160 form, finances, ties to Thailand/home.

- Prep for Interview: Practice explaining old posts. Apply early—processing now takes longer.

- Pro Tip: Use a visa agent if overwhelmed; search "US visa Thailand agent" for locals who handle this.

This isn't Thailand immigration, it's US visas applied for in Thailand. No impact on Thai visas yet, but stay vigilant.
