Semantics Doc? Really? Where I stated ..."several years ago..." and he stated ..."a few years back..." differs greatly how? I'm now genuinely curious. ????

You mean like the post above mine?

You should tell them that exactly next time - I'm sure they'll give you some special attention and free accommodation and you won't even need to do those pesky 90-day reports as they'll know exactly where you are. ????

Guess 1 needs a "Genuflecting" icon to post in your most gracious presents Sir Dr. Jack?

I made a border run to Cambodia several years ago and it was a breeze. I never even left Thailand. The IO said he'd take care of it for me for 300 baht. So he and I sat in his office and chatted over coffee for 1/2 an hour while my passport got all the in/out stamps. OP - When the supervisor asked if you had a gf you should have answered "No, but I'm looking for a nice lady. Are you single?". ????

OP - why not consider living 1/2 the time in VN, Cambodia or Loas for a couple of years while you save and grow your client base? Your gf can get to these places and they don't have the visa restrictions/costs. Just spitballin'

Eat more fresh garlic - they don't like it but you may start attracting Italians. ????

So, it'll be full of Cubans and Haitians in boats seeking asylum soon? Wonder if the coke will be of the same high quality too. ????

They have satellite wi-fi in the states. Haven't tried it yet but it's nice to see phones catching up as most people don't carry a PC with them everywhere. ????

I know it's now a week past the OPs deadline so hopefully he'll give an update. OP - IF possible, just keep 400k in a Thai account for marriage extensions in the future - can't get more guaranteed that that.

it's for the re-entry permit - you can't get it at the regular check-out line. they will send you to a small office in the corner on that same side.

Really? Search results for "Teriary" in Sentences 0 results. There are no articles for this word yet. ????

Seems like yet another case of the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing.

If my dangling participle offends you, don't look. ????

My wife and I have been married 18 yrs and never had a translation as we were married in Thailand. That said, there IS a form immigration requires from the Amphere office when renewing every year.

I'd be careful about food advice from the brits - after all, they hang dead pheasants by the neck til the head rots off and then eat it, they mix blood into pudding and eat beans for breakfast. ????

Seriously?? Have you been living in a cave for the past 6 years? ????

There's a new 1, even for Pattaya. How much do the soi dogs charge you to beat them off? ????

Funny that the link to the updates of this BS story comes back as "Page Not Found". Maybe you should give up on CNN and follow the release of the Twitter files.

The memory span of a goldfish here - 4 years ago Pelosi and company tried to impeach President Trump for a phone call with this guy calling him a thief, a crooked leader of a crooked country, etc. Now Pelosi nearly falls over her desk trying to shove her plastic face into his for a kiss and when she showed him the American Flag they had for him as a gift he blew it off like it was nearly insulting. The guy wasn't back in his country 48 hrs before he went to a summit meeting looking for a post-war rebuilding loan. He's now received 130% of his yearly defense budget in cash from the US plus arms, misfired 1 of those rockets into Poland killing 3 people and banned media reports that aren't censored and approved by him. This SHOULD have been a U.N. issue from the start and then fallen to NATO, NOT the US.

Is Snow"Balling" allowed? ????

Marry the partner, adopt the child, divorce the partner. There's a BIG difference in becoming a legal guardian and just having a Thai change their birth name. First names are a snap and are done regularly in Thailand but a "Family" name opens a whole LOT of legal issues. Birthrights, Military Lottery, Thai Citizenship Rights, etc. My father did it with his ex and my newest, youngest 'brother' but he was married, obtained visas to the states for them both, got her citizenship and THEN adopted him with a name change (First AND Last). Question is, to do it now, what are YOU willing to do?

I've always kept a separate account with 400k+ and bump it by 1k the day I apply for the BB update. For the OP, 2 months for certain and 3 to be safe.

What a unique idea. ????

Why not just fly to HCMC and apply for the retirement visa? About the same price as all the visa run groups but no long rides. Keep in mind the 800k in the bank requirement unless you can prove 65k a month in income.
