Came here when I was 30 years old. Just with my wife, my baby and 2 bags. Best decision of my life. Thailand is easy. That said baby is 19 y/o now, speaks 4 languages natively and jets between EU/Asia at will. Did I mention "best decision"?

if you consider that an intelligent answer (when the world holds your debt) then I really can't help you. We are not even the same species apparently. But allow me to explain why I do care: You make regimes like Russia and China look good. Look reliable and accountable. That's a crime against the whole world in my book although I don't expect you to understand the gravity of this issue.

Please can't you at least try to make some intelligent arguments? I would be the last one not admitting that democratic parties (worldwide) and democracies face some very difficult questions and a lot of things went wrong. I consider my self much more right side libertarian than left/socialist. But goodness, what kind of answer to the current challenges is Trump? How blind can the people be who don't want to see that Trump and dumb are never a good solution to anything? Not to the past, not to the future. He is no patriot. He is not a business man (real business is built upon reputation and reliability and trust). Not a deal maker, just a big TACO and a bully. 3rd grade mobster. The right wing an d libertarian movement has many so much more competent people to offer, why do you gather behind this ape? Is it a kind of stockholm syndrome or something? Burning down the house because you can live only in the basement?!

Actually, yes I do and it is frightening..

Not true, we Germasn held the USA in high regards ever since WWII. So did most of ASEAN and Africa (except the communist countries of course). Seeing the "white knight" failing and disintegrating like this actual does hurt.

You are assuming wrongly: The EU stood never as firm and united since Trump and the Russian War and they are really trying to get their act together. Big improvement in my books. Even the UK is shifting slowly towards the EU again.

You can't say that because Trump makes any and every African "Leader" looking really good and almost professional. He also did a lot for the Europe Union and ASEAN (although shifting the pivot to China may become an issue eventually.)

Compounding interest is a bitch though.

Lol, you literally became the laughing stock of the world and it appears he has just started. 🤣

You mean TACO? You mean Treasury yields up for the second most indebted country in the world?

Thanks for the reminder. I know about the necessary Return flight and the 20k THB in cash requirement.

Thank you all! Very kind and helpful! Cheers

Does Udon Thani allow it? What are my options, if not?

I have all papers for a full Non-O application with me. 🤣 Just in case: I would apply in Berlin/Germany for a Non-O based on marriage, how long will it take to receive it? (And sorry to ask those basic questions, it has been more than 20 years for me doing anything other than Savanaketh + Extensions.)

Thank you much for helping! Clearly understood and agreed. But "Obtaining a new Non O" can be done at the local immigration in Udon Thain? (So far I always got my Visum at Savannaketh and extension in Udon Thani.) As German I am eligible to 30 days stay and Visa exemption, right? Main question: would it be any problem/concern that I have entered Thailand before this year (based on Non-O). If I apply for the E-Visa, then which one shall I chose given that I am exempt for 30 days? Non-O is not available as E-Visa, is it? (I hold PR in Nigeria, so I could apply for any E-Visa -- but no way I travel to Abuja for this.) Best and cheers
