Need to start somewhere-sometime to break free of their unfortunate population propaganda poisoning.........

Well if Big Joke is determined, many will be leaving or on overstay.

Also, a lot are bringing wealth with them, coin, or whatever. It's not just here in Thailand, which didn't even rate a mention as a destination. It's a global phenomenon if you read the link I posted.
A huge uptake in Ed. Visas being purchased..............

Authorites are just figuring it now ? I believe the 1st Russian aircraft arrival in October had a 2 truck water cannon welcoming.........I'm sure if Immigration clamps down on corruption, most will have to leave at some point ????

Do you require insurance for an online application for a Non O based on retirement?
From the London Thai Embassy -
- Non-Immigrant Type O (Retirement (pensioner aged 50 or above with a state pension who wants to stay in Thailand for no longer than 90 days) - single entry only)
- Financial evidence e.g. A copy of pension statement if the applicant is a pensioner, or a copy of 1-month bank statement showing your income from pension, or 3-month bank statement of at least £10,000
- Confirmation of legal residence in the UK or Ireland. Copy of health insurance that covers COVID-19 related medical expenses, both inpatient and outpatient, no less than 100,000 USD for the whole period of your stay in Thailand.
Is this Insurance still required?
I'm not sure about the health insurance thing on the Non O e-visa application presently, I had valid insurance from a 'killed off' OA nine months ago. Write on a piece of paper your UK bank balance is your coverage upload it and submit, see if you get through.......
-
You could attempt the online 90 day Non O based on retirement from your area in the UK, gives you lots of time to get organized after arrival for 1 year extensions.....

Well good luck with that gamble and they've got the finances to bluff it out.
Even if Putin pops his clogs before they go back they've still committed a crime against the state and they WILL be punished. Putin or no Putin.
My brief stay Russian neighbours ( military ) managed to buy an ED Visa and are hanging out in Hua Hin, when that is exhausted she mentioned Argentina to make a baby and get 3 Argentinian passports. Sounds like refugee talk and or wait on Putins demise.......

The owner of the van is Russian and he lent it to his Ukrainian friend. ????
Lots of Russians and Ukrainians are friends and some are even in the same family. It's just a location problem.
That is why many do not want to kill each other.

Give it another 6 months. Desperate people will start to desperate things and that is when the real pushback will come.
it won’t even come from whiny expats like me. It will be Thai people.
Think its well started, locals I've spoken to seem to be quite fed up with their mannerisms etc and wondering "why so many are here?"... could be fair to say the majority of locals do not know whats happening in Russia......

Correct F-16's........typo

Now they've got the sensible right idea - keep patching their F-5's and F-18's, their US F-35 wish won't happen..........

17 hours ago, Salerno said:Argentina has received around 5000 pregnant women in the past three months - baby born, gets citizenship, easier for parents to then get citizenship.
Just to confirm that, my young Russian neighbours who have now gone to live in Hua Hin after purchasing an Education visa did mention on one occasion that Argentina was on their radar as well after Thailand to start working on making a baby there.........LOS is full of Russian refugees not 'tourists'

I loathe them and don't feel bad about it. They are rude, loud, standoffish and don't integrate. Every forum or social media platform seems to have a small minority of posters claiming unwarranted racism is directed towards them but the majority of people seem to thoroughly dislike them, Thai people included. I have no interest in my very expensive gym membership or using my developments pool because they have taken them over and are forever loud, rude and unfriendly.
The question is what happens in 6-12 months from now when the savings run out and the Russians have no intention of leaving Thailand even though they have extremely limited employment opportunities. The running narrative is that most are well off professionals but I call BS. I have seen many that appear to be skint based on their rented or purchased motor vehicles. Wealthy people don't ride a bicycle or a 125cc scooter as their one and only means of transport.
Deport!
Many are walking as well........

I think Thai Authorities are now seeing the problem, they were just a little overwhelmed with their 'tourist money mindset' excitement in October...........
