looking for LIFE insurance

You are BORED aren't you..

Get some exercise.

Thank you for your replies gentlemen.  The U.S Embassy has given me an appointment for Thursday after a few emails explaining the situation. 

Thank you all for your suggestions.  Very much appreciated!

@taxout  Thank you.

Are there any American Notary Publics, from California, in the country?

I am refinancing a building in California and need my signature notarized .  The U.S Embassy usually handles this but due to the closure I require an alternative solution.

I can come to you and of course pay for the stamp.

Cheers

There are a few reasons I know. Firstly it was a lifetime visa. That's a long time to commit to any product. More problematic was this visa allowed you to transfer it to someone then that next person could transfer it etc etc and I believe every person got another lifetime visa so this could've gone on for generations. Lastly the benefits were TOO generous if you actually ended up using them. I believe they even had a convoluted tax scheme that let foreigners by land. If someone went crazy on golf and massages and their heirs all did too.... haha well you could see that not being a profitable program.

 

*** Bonus point Former PM Thaksin Shinawatra. While still loved by many was and remains a persona non grata amongst the (ironically) Thai Elite. So they actually wanted to cancel it entirely perhaps to get rid of any trace of him. But I think someone figured out they could scale it back and still make it work. 

 

It was a tough decision for me personally to get the Elite visa because I hate feeling ripped off or that I overpaid for something but once I got it I have to say it felt good to know i was done thinking about and paying for a long term Thai visa.

As usual, TV members speaking about things they 

1. Have ZERO experience with

2. Have NO functional knowledge about the subject matter

I have had the original lifetime, super deluxe , luxurious, , swank , 2-door model.  Almost 19 years now.

I am not going to go point by point as I feel it's not for everyone and I'm not here attempting to convince strangers but this Visa is only transferable ONE (1, UNO, satu, nung) times, the fee to transfer is 200,000 BHT.  So this generational Visa is B**sh*t .  Learn about what you comment on.

And if it was generational, what does that have to do with you?  Why do you care what others are doing?  How they stay here legally is their business.

6,500 for the test.  They called and emailed the results within 3 days.

A lot of scams involved in every major crisis but that useless plastic thing make me laugh.  Thank you for purchasing it..

My daughter's International School sent out emails informing us that online teaching will be used until the end of this calendar year.  I won't post the school name.  I would assume all International Schools will follow.

If you have a child/children in an International school just ask them.

Please tell Bangkok Hospital. I Understand they charge 20 000 baht.

This is false information.

While at Bumrungrad Hospital yesterday I inquired about the cost, procedure, waiting time for results.  The cost is 10,000 BHT.

Stop spreading information about which you don't have the facts. 

I would be grateful if someone can recommend a lawyer to visit the land department on my behalf to check some document.

I am NOT in Phuket and I don't know any attorneys.

Lifetime of whoever has the Visa in their passport.

Hello All,

     I have the original lifetime TE Visa I bought 20 years ago.  I am still required to check in every 90 days and also extend.  The Elite staff meet me @ CW and the entire process takes less than 40 minutes from the time I arrive to the time I depart.

     I would like to sell my lifetime visa.  Elite will charge me a transfer fee of 200,000 BHT.  You will retain this Visa for life but you are unable to resell it in the future.

     If you are 100% serious, PM me.  I will forward emails from TE that verify my position.

Cheers to all and Happy Holiday!

What no one has mentioned is you will be required to leave a deposit.

You will NEVER get that deposit returned to you, even if you leave the apartment spotless,

Josh,

     I'm in BKK for 21 years.  I would like to come and visit.  Can you DM me your email if you feel this is OK.

I'm not doing very much with my time.  My daughter is in International School and is busy with her friends.

Perhaps I could bring some needed supplies.
