Natural immunity and immunity developed via previous infection are the same thing. Thats what natural immunity is.

Or the current vaccines

Yes - I was responding to PremiumLane, not you. Got it?

So you are now backing down and do now acknowledge that natural immunity is a thing. But it turns out you know even less about natural immunity than we thought. Natural immunity is not a thing that you just have - its a thing your body develops in reaction to the presence of a pathogen. So my original point still stands - you don't understand biology and you're calling other people morons for knowing more than you.

Your comment is very clever and snarky but contains no actual content. Natural immunity is basic biology. You don't have to be anti-vax to understand how natural immunity works. You do have to be anti-science (like you are) or just uneducated (as you are) to deny that natural immunity is a thing. Do you want to debate that point? Or just come back with more clever snark? Or more likely slink away quietly.

Good question. If they were happy to have their children vaccinated against polio and smallpox with vaccine products that went through a long testing regime and have been used in the market for decades BUT are not happy to have themselves or their children vaccinated with a product that was fast-tracked under Trump's Operation Warp Speed, and were only able to be used because the Emergency Use Authorization allowed normal safety protocols to be bypassed, then are they still anti-vaxx? What does that term even mean?

You don't need a masters degree to know what natural immunity is. It's basic high-school biology. Your comment indicates you may not know this, so perhaps you didn't go to high school and therefore don't have old text books to refer to. In this case this wikipedia page may be helpful: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunity_(medical)#Naturally_acquired You're very welcome!

Natural immunity is what it's called when your body's immune system reacts to the presence of a virus by producing antibodies that can protect against that virus. You appear not to know this. So you're calling other people moronic for knowing something that you don't know? What does that make you?

Certainly hope so. Would be great to not have to listen to retirees on ThaiVisa complaining about exchange rates and the price of Heineken.

Good approach. If you're a little bit technical you can also setup a "de-Googled" Android using GrapheneOS or LineageOS and avoid not only govt tracking apps but more importantly Google itself.

"This article makes little sense"

You didn't read the article - click through the link. Under the new rules, foreigners must prove they have liquid assets worth 1.5 million ringgit (US$354,000) – up from 350,000 ringgit for those above the age of 50, and 500,000 ringgit for those below the age of 50 – although 500,000 ringgit of the funds can be used for property, health care and school fees. They must also have a monthly offshore income of at least 40,000 ringgit (US$9,400) compared with 10,000 ringgit previously, which the Malaysian government says ties in with its effort to target high-income individuals who can contribute to an economy hard-hit by the Covid-19 pandemic and ongoing political turmoil.

These were the dark times between the 2006 coup and the 2014 coup. Under the Prayuth government the backlog was cleared and the processing time sped way up to ~1 year.

One additional thing - PR holders don't count on the foreign worker quota. They are considered the same as Thai workers in that regard

How many thousands of times has this question been asked on ThaiVisa. There's answers here: https://www.google.com/search?q=thai+permanent+residency

I applied Dec 2015 and got my blue book in Feb 2017 so ~14 months. Three or four friends of mine who did it after me had similar or faster turn-around. I was in a similar situation to you, at least potentially - while I was waiting I was considering quitting my job. There is a little-spoken of bridging visa you can get while you are waiting for PR. I believe I first came across it buried somewhere in the Camerata thread. I asked my contact in the PR team at Immigration Division 1 and she confirmed they could set that up but she also asked me to stay on my Non-Imm B visa / extension if possible - my assumption was this is so they didn't have to do the paperwork. Since you're already passed the interview and are now in the final waiting stage, you're pretty much home-free. If you're worried about your current status then the best thing to do is talk to the PR team at Imm Div 1 about it. Contrary to what you may think - they actually want you to succeed so they will help you find the right solution. If the bridging visa option is available they will help you to get that. I would also suggest asking your contact from the PR team periodically (say every couple of months) if there's any update on your case - I did that and on one call found that my blue book was ready to pick up even though they hadn't notified me. Good luck!!!
