    US Citizen applying for Retirement Visa for the First Time

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Posted

    As UbonJoe said earlier.. 800,000 baht total..

    I was trying to remember...

    from Siam legal..

    "Qualifications

    Applicant must be 50 years of age or over

    Must meet the financial requirements

    Security deposit of THB 800,000 in a Thai Bank Account for 2 months prior to the visa application.

    Monthly income or pension of at least THB 65,000. An affidavit from the foreign embassy or consulate has to be obtained as proof of the income.

    Combination of the Thai bank account and yearly income with the total of 800,000 THB.

    Supporting documents as proof of the security deposit in a Thai bank are as follows:

    Updated bank book or passbook

    Bank letter stating that the money had been deposited to the account from an oversea source for not less than 2 months.

    Other documents that may be required to be presented:*

    Police Clearance

    Medical Certificate

    * These are not usually required if the visa application is submitted inside Thailand, though there are rare cases, however, when an official from the Thai embassy or consulate may ask for them before issuance of the visa."

    I had to click on retirement visa.. Joe's gotta be right though..

    Jeesh..'Our' NASA guy... lol..said 1,000 years is..well he said 200 years with 3 meters..ten feet..would be unfortunate..

    nothing is natural is Holland, for instance.. all the land was re taken from the sea..or is that taken..? in middle of the forest, the trees are planted in rows..

    I thought be was jesting.. american on b.b.c. yesterday.. but its probably true!

    So the catastrophists, need to _stop trolling_and realize as John Hockenberry said this morn. on NPR..

    smaller, better, faster means that new technologies and techniques will enable us to get through and stop worrying about bangaledesh..I appreciate the YouTube heads up Yesterday.. I'm sure in a couple centuries we'll be able to build seawalls like Holland.. as the scientist said..I'm walking in my forest, and I remember where I was when he said this..yesterday.. if the dutch did it..a long time ago..we'll have easy access to free energy.. to help even Bangladesh.. George and Ravi were my friends..Bangladesh will be fine,

    'Chinese build house in with 3D techniques.. '

    www.theguardian.com

    I think I was the one about warming to change..and I appreciate the above comments^^

    we started the solar business here, and I'm freezing in my Kona cabin..things will get better..

    Let's ( the good ones) take a break for a couple days, think loving kindness thoughts..

    'may all beings be happy'..

    everything I've said above is from public radio, pri, and the bbc in the last two days..

    'I'm a Parrot, but a kind one..no, there's a mosquito.. never happened before..we're gonna dieeeee...

    Alohz gents..

    Are Thais psychic, and is that why they don't like some farangs?

    in General Topics

    Q: Are Thais psychic?

    A: No. No-one is.

    Q: And is that why they don't like some farangs?

    A: No. There's a variety of reasons, the same as why some farangs don't like some farangs.

    As a general rule, any topic that attributes or inquires about characteristics of a collection of 60-odd million individuals is finished before it can start.

    Here's a little quiz that illustrates the principal. Fill in the blank to create a true and meaningful declarative sentence.

    All Thai women are ___________.

    Here's a hint. One correct answer is "All Thai women are Thai".

    Can you identify the other correct answer?

    All human beings are 'psychic' or at least have the potential to be. Feeling that someone is staring at you from behind, feeling that the phone is about to ring, thinking about someone just to get a call from them 2 minutes later....these are just some basic abilities that, I dare say, everybody experiences in their lives.

    Some people are more sensitive than others, but for everybody it's possible to train these abilities to their full potential.

    This has nothing to do with magic or New Age flower power...just a natural ability, regardless if you believe in it or not, regardless if you've experienced it or not.

    Well put..except for the Jerry reference..he used to dive in Kona..stay at the Ritz for years, and shoot Heroin.. which was once a brand name like Kleenex.. and I think he switched wives while here..Neil is much better..and my favorite billionaire..They were neighbors..Puako..sorry the shrooms are kickin' in..Great observations.. I've never heard such an articulation ..but I'm from L.A.. Aloha

    If you in Khon Kaen area go to My Bar Aussie guy Norman he will guide you to builders that have built their own with Thai builders doing good job. My Bar is on the other side of the road to the Tuc Com shopping mall next to a 7/11.

    I hope ThaiVisa let this through for you.

    good one..I knew some guys..helping our govt. architect friend in C.Mai.

    I just figured out what Issan is..good luck..

    To weigh in on the 50,000฿, that's unreal. When I had my house plans approved and stamped, many years ago now, it was more in the 1000฿ range. But I'm not sure that this is even what to OP is talking about. There is a 'review' if you can call it that, of the building plans, but I'm not sure he's even talking about that.

    Wasn't it the 'village headman'? funny..

    How on earth do you determine if a glacier's decline appears to be unstoppable. Do they have glaciers under their control? Which glaciers appear to be stoppable?

    You know what else appears to be unstoppable - magnetic storms on the sun. Should we write a breathless article about that: "NASA scientist's claim solar storms cannot be stopped. The resultant changes in earth's global temperature may continue to rise for hundreds of years, or possibly not, Although nothing unusual is happening, NASA feels we should all be very afraid."

    Eastern Antarctica..

    ^^^

    These are the kind of weasel worded articles that have turned thinking people away from climate alarmism in ever-growing numbers -- "could", "appears to be", "up to", "suggests".

    In this particular case, the supposed disaster is even more distant: "But the researchers said that even though such a rise could not be stopped, it is still several centuries off, and potentially up to 1,000 years away."

    It takes a special kind of feeble mentality to get in such a lather about something that "could" happen in 1000 years' time.

    Thee it is..nine feet.. 2-10 centuries.. it'll be revised..its good end for me.. alohz

    regional climates are changing.. no warm required.. so tonight on the b.b.c. actually 04:30 London..NASA guy nicely explaining as the Antarctic glacier ..flows.. he used another word also..into the sea to raise sea level 60 cm..then 3 meters in the next 200-1000 years.. a very fair estimate it seems to me.. for all of us to do what needs to be done, such as sea walls..my Kona Inn seawall is being rebuilt as we speak..

    more time will be better..can we close the thread now, cause I think we don't need to be scared because we have enough time.. lollol Storms are getting nasty.. ice age or not.. mu scepticism has been placated..

    Hail Antarctica.

    or is that Atlantis..
