And that's only for 5 years

Another movie with a woman of 58i kilos beating up men twice her size. A James Bond fantasy for women. I did enjoy No Hard Feelings, which was just as unrealistic but it was funny and it had Jennifer Lawrence. Nothing particularly creative about it but the take on modern snowflakes was amusing . And Lawrence can make even a mediocre movie watchable.

You have to pay a premium too. Walking to buy food should be part of your exercise regime if you're retired.

I was told by one agent in Pattaya that they could do it 3 months in advance

That's not true. I know from personal experience.

I believe Thai Visa allows you to use any Thai bank

I have unlimited Internet at 1 Mbps. I don't have a "main package."

The problem isn't with the current requirements, it's with the screening procedures. Changing the regulations won't solve that. Plus, even on this forum people complain about retirees who use agents but the agents arent cheap. Even for the cheapest at 12,500, that comes out to more than $350 and the price can run all the way up to 20,000 or even 30,000, depending on various factors. So it's not like you're getting a great deal. A smarter thing to do would be to normalize that process. Just charge 15,000 for example for an extension. That would enhance immigration revenues, obviate the need to have 800,000 sitting in the bank doing nothing, and get rid of all this gray area stuff. The objective should be to simplify the process and take away the discretion immigration officers currently have.

They dump the daughter midway through so the message was received loud and clear

It doesn't have to be a civil case. The line between civil and criminal cases is exceedingly thin in Thailand. And though it makes no logical sense to sue, I have heard stories of vindictive landlords who have done just that.

It won't affect his status with immigration but if the landlord sues, he can be prevented from leaving the country until the court case is settled.

The only effect of the previous "reforms" was a steep decline in the number of retirement visa holders and a surge in the number of agents. If I remember correctly,, Thailand is only issuing about 40,000 retirement extensions a year. Double the fiscal requirement without any corresponding incentives and most of the remaining foreigners will abandon ship. All that will be left are the elite visa holders and the Chinese.

I won't be around to see it

Other than the fact that several crashed alien craft have been recovered along with their nonhuman pilots in some cases and a coverup has been in place for at least 100 years, no the government isn't hiding anything.

Tammanat declared 1 billion in assets but, hey, nothing suspicious there.

You'd need the 800,000 though and dealing with immigration is always an uncertain process.

Nope, I tried everything. I even set up a new gmail account and asked my sister to use it to register in the U.S. They don't send the verification code by email anymore; now they use the YouTube notification center apparently to make sure it's your account. I had another friend in the U.S. try and he told me he couldn't do it either. If there is anyway to do it I certainly would like to know.

They've cracked down and you can no longer sign up from overseas. Believe, I've tried.

Good taste? He just buys all the top luxury brands. It's not like he's discriminating.

They didn't find anything wrong with Prayut's inflated land sales, which occurred right after he threw the coup.

Much harder than a retirement extension and it eliminates the option in the future of using an agent. Thai Visa will do the extension via EMS and you can use any bank.

He's had plastic surgery and two heart surgeries, I believe

Biolabs doesn't necessarily mean bioweapons labs. The Wuhan research laboratory was a biolab, researching cornavirus pathogens. Was it being used by the Chinese military? I don't know but there have been reports to that effect. Of course, all those official bodies initially denied that this research was taking place as well despite all the evidence to the contrary. The point is that the U.S. has been funding things like gain of function research in foreign facilities that it would be illegal to pursue in the United States. Are they also conducting bioweapon research? I don't know but it wouldn't surprise me. I wouldn't expect anyone to admit it though. Would you? Having said all that, RFK Jr. does have a lot of nutty ideas.
