  1. Any experiences on vaccinations for over sixties and seventies in hua hin government hospitals.? 

    I registered at the very crowded market village venue. 

    I was given 8 July appointment. 

     

    I'm sure that many have gone to the hospital..already But haven't seen any reports as yet of success rate. Or which vaccine they received. 

  2. Can't understand this one... As far as I'm aware.  After retirement visa is granted on 800k basis...... The money must stay for full year for extension. Not reduced. 

    Now I read for extension, money only needs to be there 2 months. Am I missing something..... I have had retire visa for 8 years.  Now in huahin.... Am I keeping 800k in bank unnecessarily? 

  3. Anyone considered that Trump is using SPIN  !.

    Excellent way to get Johnson defeated,,  ................Trump recommendation,  may well know that his recs will be ignored  .............an agenda ! 

     

    They are friends ?  friends ?    somehow I doubt it ,

  6. Asked about this before with sensible replies.thanks all 

    However;

    I,ve been here 8 years on retire visa, never been a problem.the 800k route always.

    This time , I was caught short on the '" seasoning."......was advised by some to leave country for tourist visa , then extend and change to non-o back in CHIANG MAI.., when the money is in bank etc.    Seemed OK to me.      ...trouble is ..can this be applied for there,  I know this has to be applied for 20 days or so before expiry tourist visa. And then sent to Bangkok for approval.

    My 800k has to come from sale of shares that I have in Thai stock market  the SET.  NORMAL SHARES  nothing complicated,

    Now I hear that the money must be proved to have come from abroad.....hmmm!  After 8 years , nigh impossible.

    I have only the basic UK Pension , nothing else, so thats out.

    Anybody applied at CM for this?

    Would you think, or ,  do you know whether or not immigration CM may accept this.  P.S  I am NOT a business man, have never worked here, never been in trouble; Just an old retired guy trying to live a quiet ,benign boring life  .          Some visa agents, no names, offer this, err, extension service for 22000 baht  plus having to travel to another province for visa .....  next year  am I trapped into doing the same thing? 

     

  7. Anyone know of any agents in KL that fix the whole shebang for you.?       Seems that it may be difficult there.

    I Am nearly 70 , not in great shape  so some help would be nice.

    My retire visa ends March , 13 .  don't have the 800k  banked now, so starting again, tourist visa then extend by which time the cash will be visible in bank .   Change then to Non O and apply for new retirement visa.

    Can see problem may arise with IO explaining what I,m doing there

    I am advised by UBONJOE (THE VISA ORACLE)    that the retire visa when starting again.....the 800k has only needed to be current.    No 2 or 3 months wait

    Any confirmation of all this appreciated.

    I trust UbonJoe completely  ,  but things and vague rules here do tend to change regularly

     

    The way all the income regs are going .. Imnigration appear to encourage and simultaneously  discourage living here !

    Any more of these shenanigans and I,m off
