besides the 'obvious more hassle visas' now what's available?

3x 30 days border hops, 90 days stay max then stay abroad 90;

a tourist visa for max 60 days + optional 30 day renewal (other similar shite double, triples entries seem will be soon phased out or so the rumor mill has it)

I like this last option especially, the person goes to, say, Penang; the official at the consulate, on her period or just having a bad hair day, tells you to fuckoff (it seems that immi border boyz have more ample discretionary powers now vely vely dangerous) and you are nearly automatically guaranteed to be on the 30+30+30 schedule - three strikes and you are off for at least 90 days to some place else.

This is going to create a lot of grief (and corruption...what's new heh?), and a certain economic slowdown in an already slow mkt due to less revenue that used to come in via the so called undesirable long stay working touristy types.

Condo mkt? rip
Rentals? rip
Eateries? rip
Jack Golf types? rip
3M invest visa rip (I hearsay its gonna be 10M now... that's 266k+US$ or ~125.5k pomy quids... and who the fuck gonna do a mad thing like that at this point in time)

lot of rice eating little brown people are gonna be eating a tad less rice soon ... what goes around, comes around....how true
