Some advice/opinions please on moving to Hua Hin
Phillip9 replied to delgarcon's topic in Hua Hin and Cha-Am
The beach in that top section gets worse and worse every year. The land is either sinking or the sand is getting washed away. There is now only beach at low tide--usually in the middle of the night or very early morning. The rest of the time the beach is gone and the water goes all the way to the seawalls in most places. There is better more usable beach further north past blue port. -
Sorry, I'm not sure about that.
-
There is a comfortable overnight ac sleeper on that route. I've done it. It's really not so bad. I'd much prefer it to any mini van border run from bangkok.

Whether or not you are asked for an onward flight can be quite random. I find that the same airline will sometimes ask for it and sometimes not ask. It probably depends on how busy or competent the check in staff is. In Korea and Japan it probably also depends on how well the staff speaks English. If they can't speak english well, they may just not bother asking a foreigner for it.

Lithuania is visa exempt 60 days.

He will get 60 day visa exempt whether entering by land or air. There is no visa on arrival if your country qualifies for visa exemption. There is no advantage to a visa on arrival anyway--the visa exempt entry can be converted to a retirement visa.
-
I plan on just ignoring it. I don't see any reason to bother doing it as I am sure I will never need anything from imigration.

Thai visa… extend or new?
Phillip9 replied to Kwaibill's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
No way to know what will happen in the us over the next year. It will probably be quite a sh_t show. Best to just extend your current Thai visa for another year and see what happens before committing 100% to the US. I certainly wouldn't want to be relying on public assistance in anyway. You did sign an affidavit of support for your wife, and be very careful not to violate that. -
Running Out Of Money. Need Advice.

Many businesses are so desperate for workers they will hire anyone with a pulse. It's quite easy for even the homeless to find work in the US. -
If you look at the bottom of your screenshot you will see the Thai soft power category of the DTV. If you select that category you will see there is no requirement for work of any kind.

Those of us with businesses based in our home country don't have to worry about taxes in Thailand. Business income is generally only taxed in the country where the business is physically located, and that is clearly stated in my county's tax treaty with Thailand.
-
I guess if you really never leave the country, you might prefer a retirement visa. But for those of us who leave the country at least a couple of times a year anyway, the DTV has quite a lot of advantages.
-
Why would you assume that? No other visa requires anything remotely similar. So you think immigration is going to start denying people entry without warning if they aren't carrying all the documents they used to apply for the visa? Absolutely ridiculous.
-
I didn't say they are exempt from 90 day reports, but who is going to fine you if you never visit immigration? Just leave the country at least once every 180 days, which I assume many people do anyway, and you never need to visit immigration for 5 years.
-
You would have to be crazy to choose a retirement visa over a DTV. The DTV has way too many advantages -- no money in a Thai bank required, no re-entry permit needed, no fines for missing a 90 day report, no new ridiculous hoops to jump through every year, no need to visit immigration at all for 5 years.
