    I have been here for 12 1/2 years, last 8 or so on Retirement extensions, I arrived back from a week in the Philippines on Wed and my passport was given the 3rd degree by a woman IO who called over 2 others to look at it as well, not entirely sure what it was all about, she never actually said anything to me about it, but I got the impression they were scrutinising my address.

    Avoid the ladies

    Thais (and five-year-olds) simply cannot plan ahead, or manage their money; raise the monthly minimum-income to 50,000 baht and they still won't be able to do it...

     

    And banks make it too easy, effectively forcing debt onto people who won't be able to ever repay the money.

    Same as China’s Debt Traps, operate the same and collect properties

    +1   very quiet by comparison to other places you are seeking to avoid.

     

     

    Rayong is worth a look and Chao Lao beach (avoid  weekends).

    KOh Samet, but Chin City, close to Rayong

    China controls Thailand, not in the least of which is through tourism. China can shut the tourist spigot off anytime they want and just deny any from visiting there. What would Thailand do then. China wants to control the world and are doing their best to accomplish that through Belt and Roads.

     

    I feel sorry for the people of HK. The ending is inevitable. How long be Joshua Wong disappears?

    Silk Road for them , Pot holes debacle for the rest

    I got my METV at LA.
    I also wrote in Retired as my occupation.

    They should accept your bank statement.

    Make sure you sent a Money Order and not a Cashiers Check.

    If you filled out everything correctly and sent 2 photos, signed on the back, I don't see any problem in you getting a METV

    I’ve never signed photos , but in future will, have gotten many too

      I have an application in the works right now in L.A. I might have newer answers in a few days. This information is from last year when I got a METV.

     

    - I am retired. I stated I was retired and sent in one bank statement showing US$7000 and no other income data.

     

    - I left the Guarantor sections blank. I did send in an invoice for for my lodging and included the name and address of the guesthouse in the Purposed Address in Thailand section.

     

    - For number of entries I entered METV. There is no restriction on how many times you can enter Thailand while the METV is valid.

     

    - I submitted the documentation shown as need for a METV on the L.A. consulate site. I did sent them an Email prior to sending in my application last year and was told that only one recent bank statement showing $7000 is needed. YMMV

     

    FWIW I always used the Washington DC visa application when applying for various visas. Only because I had the PDF version that was fillable on my computer. DO NOT SEND ONE OF THESE TO L.A.! They will reject it and require you to use the L.A. visa application form that is quite a bit different. Fortunately they were nice enough to call me on the phone and tell me to send the correct application.

     

    Again this is a year old so FWIW.

     

     

    Definitely want to see hotel confirmation, whenever I go, I just made a copy of my atm receipt they accepted , he’s really nice guy, she I heard more difficult , Farang in LA
