NZ has done the same.. Now they're regretting it..

I have no idea what you are referring to? I'm a property investor in NZ and Australia. I don't normally buy new properties.. In good areas over many many years, I've had good cap gains. It's a totaly different situation to Pattaya Thailand, where cap gains on any property, are very rare..

Same same.. Last two years, I ve had to wait 7 days for yearly statement.

I own a nice condo in Pattaya, but I never ever refer to it as an investment.. Most condos actually loose value. Mine will hold it's value, due to amazing views and good location.

That's what I'm getting at.. I don't want Thai residency. I don't want marriage visa. I just want easier way to stay in Thailand long term,without having to renew visa each year.. I'm from NZ currently have non O. Have 800,000 in bank account. I just turned 70.

Exactly.. There are too many "bush doctors", out there, who profess to know far more than those in the medical profession..

Yes, that must have been what I read. I already have a condo, about 5.2 mill. But I'm looking at buying guest house. Approx 15 mill I think the 10mill ,was only for NEW condos bought from developer?? I certainly will never be buying off developer.. Would the investment visa, be same deal if buying in company name? I'm main shareholder.

Joe, I've read section 5. I'm still unclear if there really is an investment visa for those who purchase property over 10mil thb. I live in Pattaya, and have a non O extension, or about 5 years.
