The rules that let you stay can change overnight.
Be the first to know — not the last. Thailand's long-stay rules have moved again and again in just two years: a whole new visa appeared, allowances doubled, then a rollback was floated. Most people find out at the border, at renewal, or when it's already cost them. We read the official sources every day and email you the moment anything on your route moves.
You did the hard part. Don't let a quiet rule change undo it.
You qualified, you applied, you got in. Then a line in a government circular changes — a threshold, a stay length, a category — and the version of the rules you planned your life around quietly expires. No announcement reaches your inbox. The first time you hear about it is the worst possible time to hear about it.
Think the rules sit still? Look at the last two years.
Thailand alone — verified against official and legal sources. One country. This many moves.

Six changes to one country in under three years — and Bali kept right up. We read the dense government circulars so you never have to — and the day something shifts on your route, you get a plain-English email: what changed, and what it actually means for you.
One inbox you can trust to tell you first.
We watch the official sources so you don't have to. When something that matters to your route moves, you hear about it — clearly, and early.
Rule-change alerts for your route
Tracked against the specific country and visa route you care about — not generic news you have to sift through.
Income & threshold warnings
If a financial bar on your route moves, you get a heads-up while there's still time to adjust your evidence.
New-program announcements
When a new visa or pathway opens for your destination, you'll be among the first to know it exists.
Renewal & deadline reminders
Quiet nudges before a renewal window or filing deadline sneaks up — so nothing lapses on a technicality.
Plain-English summaries
Every alert spells out what actually changed and what it means for you — no legalese, no decoding required.
Early warning before changes bite
Where a change is announced ahead of taking effect, we flag the lead time — giving you room to act, not react.
Built for the people a rule change hurts the most.
Mid-application
You're preparing or filing now. A quiet threshold move could quietly sink your case — you need to know the instant the goalposts shift.
Recently approved
You've got your visa and want to keep it. Watch protects your status by flagging renewal rules and conditions before they trip you up.
Planning a move
The move is on the horizon within the next year. Stay ahead of the rules so the plan you're building today still holds when you go.
