When the Thai pass, PC-RTA test requirement, insurance requirement and one-day quarantine will be over? When the bars will open? That will bring tourists in droves instead of focusing on countries

War is bad for everything. Stocks volatile and mostly down. Cryptos down. Gas up. Inflation up. Gold up. Dollar slightly up.

I don't like Krungsri banks website. I don't see it saves info of people who I have have sent money to as I have to enter their info each time I send money to them. Bangkok bank no problem. May be Kasi Korn app is better but my Kasi Korn bank account is suspended long time ago and they now ask me for a WP when I last time checked with them for opening an account.

I left my car for two years in my home in the US and when I came back I just had to jump start my car. After few months the brakes starting grinding and took it to the shop they said needs brake disc resurfacing. Not sure if that it was for parking the car or not. May be the brake was very old. The car is fairly old in US standard where people change cars every 10-years and the car was 17 years old as I don't drive often and most of the times I'm outside the US (I was a digital nomad pre-covid), pre-covid. But it is garage kept (so no snow or sunlight/rain hitting the car). People do suggest to disconnect the battery if parked for long.

Most nomads I have met in my lifetime are earning 100K. There is also a possibility of lots of Chinese and Indian remote workers getting the visa. I know lots of big American companies like Intel, Cisco, AMD, Oracle etc. are hiring Indian remote workers for 60-80K salary. I don't have a definite numbers but I think 40K USD salary will attract a large number of nomads.

Border bounce is a hassle like to avoid. METV too much paper works. 15K is only 2.5K per month. or a megre $75/month. Not a bad options. Will look into different possibilities but not border bounce definitely.

THailand does not require anything. What's required by your destination country depends on the destination country.

This gave me an idea of staying 6-months in Thailand If I don't want to apply for an extension, I can keep on spending from the 800K money pot and let's say I spent 400K and go back to USA after 6-months. Comeback the following year with another TV and repeat the process after filling up the pot. How much do the agents charge only for O-visa without money? I'm planning for a 6-month stay every year. Pre-covid and before they imposed insurance requirements, I used to get O-A from USA every two years. During the Covid-19, I got extensions twice stayed two years in Thailand and now back in the US. Planning for a visit in May-July time frame for 6-months every year from now on again.

I see 80KUSD (or 40KUSD according to Bangkok Post) with an MS degree.

Does anybody know if this policy covers hospital/hotel quarantine if tested positive on the day 1 RT-PCR test without any symptoms?

Rich people don't desire work permit. What happened to the Nomad Visa? When is it available. Bring people with moderate incomes who would come to Thailand.

Wait till July. Likely most restrictions will be gone. I was planning for a May entry but decided to wait for July.

Nothing is needed for the way out except not having a criminal history or overstay.

I stay in Thailand for less than 6 months a year. But I have two residences in the USA - in IL and Las Vegas. How would they know where do I stay in the USA? My current health insurance (UHC PPO) does not have any restrictions in the USA. I am not a medicare recipient right now but will be eligible next month.

Do you know any Medicare Advantage plan that covers outside USA? Would enroll next year and looking for best Medicare Advantage plan. Thanks.

But large companies follow these guidelines and require VP's permission to travel to a foreign country for business purposes that CDC brands as level 4. Of course, you can always travel for personal reasons. For twenty years, I have worked in large companies like Cisco, Intel, Oracle, MS, etc.

Does the medicare supplement cover in Thailand?

May be just condense three pages to one page in places like Kinko (now FedEx Office or similar).

If one follows CDC's guidelines, nobody can travel anywhere in the entire World, including most of Europe. Of course, China is level I. Unfortunately, large American companies will be reluctant to let people travel to high risk countries.

If one follows CDC guidelines, one cannot travel to most countries in the World, including most of the Europe. Of course, China is safe (level 1 I assume).

This is not about banks and I have two residences in the USA. IL and Las Vegas. This is about some specific servers protected against IP addresses outside IL. I have tried in different states and they are blocked when trying to access from outside IL.

Will check it. I am now in US but outside IL. SO I can check it from another states.

I need a server located in IL sepcifically not for opening bank accounts. I have more than US 50 bank accounts and 500+ credit cards with more than a 3 million in available credits. . That's not my problem. My problem is accessing some IL servers that are IP restricted to connection from IL only. Hope the Chicago server will do. Thanks.

I have a question about SurfShark. Can I chose SurfShark VPN server in a specific US states, for example, I need to connect to IL (most probably a server in Chicago) server when I am in Thailand. Is it possible with SurfShark? Can you please check and confirm before I sign up. Thanks.

Your main problem is not able to have a US phone number. There are lots of suggestions in this forum about how to get a US phone number that works outside the US to receive SMS message, am I correct? If so, $3/month T-Mobile phone number should be adequate I think. I remember receiving SMS on my T-mobile number in Thailand. May be somebody can confirm it. I'm in the US now, so I can't confirm it. Most US bank option to use email or SMS for verification. Get a bank (e.g. Ally) that has option for email verification instead of SMS verification only.
