We are still waiting for the list of countries that gives us sth like a 20 year visa for 30 grand with territorial taxes?
With 90 day reporting requirements.
If the Elite visa gave you a Thai passport, or maybe citizenship you might actually have a point but the fact is apart from not having to do yearly renewals of your temporary exemption its bereft of any advantages. You just have to do it every 5 years.
You keep banging on about this Elite visa as being some kind enticement for rich people to come here but get this.
Rich people got rich by not spaffing money up the wall on things which are pretty useless.
Do tell us why rich people should choose Thailand rather than the other many options they have.

Yeah. I know many immigrants here with nice houses. Obviously some are thai owned, which is of no surprise in a country called Thailand.
PE visas never get cancelled except for criminal behaviour, like every other visa in thailand and every other country, they exist since nearly 20 years... what a load of <deleted>.
Cope harder...
Coping very well thanks as I have two houses.
However you did not answer the question as to whether Elite visa's get you out of having to do 90 day reports.

Quite sure the SRRV is suspended right now: https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1351888/retirement-visas-on-hold-over-security-concerns
The board of the Philippine Retirement Authority (PRA) on Friday suspended the granting of retirement visas to foreigners after several senators raised security concerns over the presence in the country of nearly 28,000 Chinese “retirees,” some of whom were only in their 30s.
Destroyed by chinese abuse. Normal foreigners seem to suffer for this.
Currently Thailand seems the only easy to get long term visa in South East Asia...
Yeah they do, do u think all those phuket beach front villas, bangkok penthouses etc are owned by poor people.... lol.
Which other option is availble where u can just buy a 20 year visa for 30 grand and be left alone with basically no paperwork? Yeh nothing...
You think all those expensive houses are owned by farangs? Lol.
That 20 year visa for 30 grand which can be cancelled at any time get you out of 90 day reporting does it?

You'd be hard put to find as easy or cheap visa requirements in the region, Philippines is probably the only one with it's SRRV (though this involve as jumping through as many if not more hoops), Malaysia has recently doubled it's financial requirements for MM2H, Cambodia has a dodgy business visa that could be clamped down on anytime & I don't think Vietnam has anything...
On balance if you're able/willing to put the money into Thailand, it's relatively straight forward to live here.
Rich people are generally not going to buy their way into a country like Thailand when other options are available but I suspect its not rich westerners they want anyway.
Rich Chinese on the other hand might be tempted as its a way of getting money out of China.

When you are rich you have the world at your feet.
Many places offer sun and beaches.
Often they have less difficult visa requirements than Thailand does.

All fine and well being philanthropic but simply not sustainable.
Cant be that.

As I recall its far easier to trace the genetic path through female genomes.
No idea why that is.
But somebody, somewhere had a genetic mutation which turned us all into different races.
Otherwise we would all look the same. Skin colour, eye colour, hair colour, shape of the eyes you name it.

I was once told that ALL women in the far east (China, South East Asia etc) can all be traced to a single female from Mongolia.
Not sure if its right or not.

Do you understand the difference between a Police General Hospital doctor and a RTP employee?
What are you on about? When did this honorary title of Lieutenant start getting bestowed on anyone outside of the RTP?
You are simply making things up at this point.
The FACT is he has a RANK of Lieutenant ergo he is a member of the RTP and is employed by the RTP.
-
2 minutes ago, Liverpool Lou said:
Doctors at the Police Hospital, regardless of titles, are not paid by the RTP. We are not talking about medical personnel who are employed directly by the police force in this case and that seems to be what you are referring to.
You understand the difference between a title and a rank?

Nonsense! Just as people put down Chefs who work for airlines, because the critics themselves are such losers they've never enjoyed the superb cuisine in a decent airline lounge or up the front...
Well the drunk army dentist I had in the late 80's begs to differ.
Numbed the left side of my mouth then started drilling into the right side.

perhaps, but those military trauma surgeons putting back together severed bodies from IED’s must be almost withoit equal anywhere ……probably fast tracked to lieut. colonel after 3-4 years of that…..
Many of them are highly qualified civilian surgeons who volunteer to do a tenure in the armed forces because of the skills they bring.
They also do it because they gather skills from injuries not seen often in normal life.
They then return to civilian life with those new found skills.
We are getting way of topic though.

Just now, WhiteBuffaloATM said:
probably must first qualify as doctor then three month academy officer commissioning course.
perhaps get their five year doctor course fee debt paid after five years military service plus army officer salary , free accom, etc. tried researching this but no joy……similar perhaps to UK Military where doctors, lawyers, engineers are commissioned directly as Army Captain rank level……
Yeah and dentists too. The ones who cant make it in civie street without getting sued every other week.

He's a doctor, not a "police doctor" a phrase you seem to be using to suggest that he's not paid that much.

4 minutes ago, Liverpool Lou said:You may think that you have corrected me but you haven't and there was no deflection. He is a doctor. He works at the Police General Hospital and has a police title, possibly as a result of that, he's not a "police doctor", he's a doctor.
Its not a title. It is a rank. Which means he is in the Royal Thai Police.
As stated in the OP.
-
Just now, Liverpool Lou said:
Hence, he's a doctor and he receives doctors salaries, not a RTP salary.
Nice deflection.
You were claiming he was a doctor not a police doctor.
I have corrected you on this.
You may thank me later.

Copy/paste: Flying snake, (genus Chrysopelea), any of five species of nonvenomous snakes constituting the genus Chrysopelea of the family Colubridae. These slender arboreal snakes are found in South Asia and the Indonesian archipelago.
They don't actually fly, but glide like a 'flying squirrel' by spreading their ribs. You owe your Ex an apology!
So it doesnt fly it glides.
No apology required. Not that she would get one anyway.

Oh right OK. This will explain why my gardener is called Major General Admiral Count Otto von Somchai.
He is a doctor with a police rank. Hence he is a police doctor.

Are expats being tempted by Thailand?
in Thailand News
Posted
Is this a joke?
Beaches? The entire planet is filled with them. They are not unique to Thailand.
Girls? You think millionaires come to Thailand looking for girls? Yeah they are going to hang around walking street trying to get some action LOL.
Taxes? Lots of tax havens around the world. Many have exclusive locations just for millionaires to have as a playground.
Tell me something. How many high profile millionaires can you name that have retired to Thailand? People like movie stars, politicians, businessmen?
Oh yeah thats right. They dont. They go to places like the Seychelles, the Maldives, the Spice Islands, Bahamas and the Virgin Islands.
They dont rock up to Pattaya saying "I'm here for the girls".
Get real. You understand this thread is about actual millionaires not the two week variety?
