Why does the diet eliminate oil entirely?

NO OIL! Not even olive oil, which goes against a lot of other advice out there about so-called good fats. The reality is that oils are extremely low in terms of nutritive value. They contain no fiber, no minerals and are 100% fat calories. Both the mono unsaturated and saturated fat contained in oils is harmful to the endothelium, the innermost lining of the artery, and that injury is the gateway to vascular disease. It doesn’t matter whether it’s olive oil, corn oil, coconut oil, canola oil, or any other kind. Avoid ALL oil.

If you have to stay one year, the answer is ANTIOXIDANTS

There was an experiment made on rats put in very polluted conditions to see what was the effects of antioxidants.

The rats given more fresh fruits and veg lived longer.

It is diet, that makes the difference between people living in the same environment.

So that's it?

You don't sleep? here is a bunch of pills.

Pills don't work? get some blood tests!

Your hormones are imbalanced? here is hormones treatment.

You don't even try to understand why is your body suddenly acting that way?

Not that difficult?

According to the Chinese labor department the average Chinese salary is $4.755 per year. it means that an average Chinese must save 2 years of salary to have the required amount.

The average Chinese isn't targeted by this visa, it is hardly rocket science. This visa is not targeted to the average tourist in all countries of the world regardless of salary. This visa is targeted to people who can afford an extensive holiday, hence the financial requirements.

For the average European, having that kind of money should be trivial, certainly the kind that can afford such extensive holiday in the first place. How else do you suppose they support themselves whilst here ?

Wrong

Most Farangs don't have ¨£5000 on their bank account ; only France Switzerland Australia and Norway.

UK and US don't even make it

2 and 3 Entry visas have been removed completely worldwide according to the TAT announcement two weeks ago at the Travel mart in London. Only Single and Multiply Entries are available. A single entry tourist visa can be applied at any Thai embassy or consulate worldwide but for the METV only at the home country.

Dont tell us

Tell Hanoi to update their docs.

This email is from this morning, I emailed them back to ask about 2&3 entries.

Will keep you posted when I get the answer.

LETTER FROM EMPLOYER STATING HOW LONG YOU HAVE BEEN EMPLOYED AND THAT THEY ARE AWARE YOU ARE GOING TO THAILAND FOR UP TO 6 MONTHS

​ That is remarkable...............well, it isnt, because my jaw dropped open and Im speechless .

​You have to get a letter from your boss stating that hes aware that you are going to Thailand !!!!!!

What is the logic behind that ?

This is priceless !

It's like they make it up as they go along

Soo funny !!!!

Yes they do lol, we have been talking about this for 40 pages !!!

its the all point of this lengthy topic ! They said they only want Laotian residents.

I am laughing so hard lol

Are you laughing so hard after Sjaak327 answer

Probably not, but all other members are laughing at you

Thousands of farangs living and working in Laos who can have this METV.

Laughing is the best thing in the world and I thank you for having making me laugh.

I would be delighted if I made other people laugh too.

Please be my guest.

Oops !

No ones is asking ...

It does not seem to interest anyone....

yes you guys are right,some stuffs dont make sense.

Keeping the 2&3 entries is absurd if you want to sell METV..

Very soon we will read reports from farangs who got the METV in Vientiane.

Off course. Why not? They have no rules saying that no farang can get a METV.

Soo funny !!!!

Yes they do lol, we have been talking about this for 40 pages !!!

its the all point of this lengthy topic ! They said they only want Laotian residents.

I am laughing so hard lol

Relax guys. I just got good news. Don't ask me for the source. I won't name it. Very soon we will read reports from farangs who got the METV in Vientiane.

I feel already sorry for the old grumpy farts who think they understand Thais and their mentality better then themselves.

Thank you ...

A glimpse of hope?

Or are you just trolling?

do tell more

VFS Global is still selling them

If needed more proof that the all thing is a scam:They said in the press release, the new METV was to "promote tourism from ASEAN", but it's not much easier for a Chinese to get one.

Multiple Entry Documents Required

1. Passport or travel documents with validity of not less than 6 months and its copy

2. Two visa application forms completely filled out

3. Two recent photographs of the applicant (2 inches)

4. Valid permanent residence / residence permit of the People’s Republic of China

5. Current bank statement with minimum balance of 50,000 RMB (at least from the last 6 months)

6. Guarantee Letter (in English or Thai) from the applicant’s local guarantor, indicating the applicant’s name, purpose and period of the stay in Thailand and guaranteeing that the applicant will come back to China as scheduled.

6.1 For Company Employee: a guarantee letter from the applicant’s employer (the company the applicant works for)

6.2 For Self-Employed Applicant: a guarantee letter issued by the Sub-District Office (街道办事处) or the local police station.

6.3 For Student: a guarantee letter issued by the school or academic institution is required

6.4 For the Unemployed and the Retire: a guarantee letter issued by the Sub-District Office (街道办事处) or the local police station

7. Evidence of air ticket reservation to Thailand (first entry) 8. Evidence of accommodation reservation in Thailand (first entry)

First off, the requirements aren't all that difficult and are in line with requirements for a Schengen visa.

Now I doubt this visa will bring in loads of new tourists into the country and I doubt the powers that be actually believe that.

Supporting could also mean making it easier for certain types of tourist to consider Thailand as their travel hub. And this visa certainly does. As many entries as you can make during the validity of the visa. A flexibility that the previous double and triple entries didn't offer.

Let's be honest here, the number of Tourists that previous needed double and tripe TV's was already very tiny. And for most of them, this visa offers more flexibility against a slightly higher price. And depending on their travel itinerary, this visa could actually work out cheaper as a triple (no re-entry permits needed, and a border run instead of an extension if those work out cheaper).

In any case the vast majority of Tourists in Thailand are already well served with visa on arrival, visa exempt, ability to extend and SETV.

I'm curious as to whether I'm a "Good Foreigner" or a "Bad" one?

Easy: good = rich / bad = poor

After reading the very vague METV announcement from Hanoi, I sent them a mail and they too are closing doors

Self-assessment will probably refer to the annual assessment you receive from HMRC. (not only self-employed receive these, by the way).

Company Registration sounds like a direct translation from Thai. It would only apply to limited companies not sole traders. So, I see no relevance for UK residents.

I feel unless they relax some of the criteria, they are not going to be issuing many of these METV's. The only people who can supply all the bits of paper will be people who don't require them.

Thats precisely the point !

Its not meant to be issued to anyone, but to get rid of long stayers.

Its like when they ask 200K in the bank for Cambodians, they obviously don't expect to sell any!

Frankfurt is also friendlier

Alternative to London? Brush up your German and go to Hamburg! Angela is still in her lenient period!

If I believe my trusted GG translate friend, no residency required. ''Just" 5000E.

Please correct me if Im wrong as my German is rusty

erm... Walen being a sponsor, ie paying for us to be here, he's always right.

Looking at London requirements, I am wondering what will happen to all the kindergarten, primary schools, secondary schools and even universities that employ UK teachers on tourist visa.... Will the kids suddenly stop learning English?
