One of the biggest considerations when moving to a new country is the visa and residency rules. Thailand has long been a top destination for expats in Southeast Asia due to its more relaxed visa policies and the culture of visa runs<\/strong>\u2014where expats leave the country for a short period and return to extend their stay.
