  1. Isreal started the war in 48? Go back to school.
  2. Neither. Biden will be the nominee. Period.
  3. It's so you to make excuses for Jew hatred. Disgusting.
  4. Can these Russkies get one month extensions on those entries in Thailand?
  5. A very misleading video. The majority of people staying on annual retirement extensions year after year never got an O-A "retirement" visa at all! They started either with an O visa obtained abroad or via a conversion to an O visa at a Thai immigration office in Thailand. Health insurance requirement? Only if you started with an O-A. Not if you started with an O. Also the financial requirements suggest to uninformed people that you need BOTH the 800K in the bank AND the 65K baht income. Nope. One OR the other. Also the combo method is mentioned but the video fails to mention that many offices won't process them for extensions.
  6. Yeah and also the trial is expected to last for months. If it was a one day thing they would have showed. Poor poor pitiful Don.
  7. It seems to me that Fort Wayne IN which I consider a rather desirable place to live (except the weather) fits in the D list financial category. That's kind of the ideal, D list prices with higher list amenities.
  8. This will be all be fully over when Americans stop naming their boys Donald.
  9. It's irrelevant to the charges whether he didn't or he did (though he obviously did). He's not being charged with having sex.
  10. Being called a Zionist really creeps you out, huh?
  11. Sure but schlepping big bags of groceries on baht buses is not fun and not necessary.
  12. You can buy online for both Central and Villa. Central through Tops online is free for orders over 900. No need to go into Pattaya at all for groceries unless you're a masochist.
  13. Maybe its the Songkran all month farce?
  14. Don't get me started I might have a flippin' flashback
  15. Marjorie T Greene, Trump, Tucker, and Putin thanks you.
  16. To "progressives" Jews are too "white" to be considered "real" minorities.
  17. If being a Jew is a breach of peace the police need to do more to protect Jews from Jew haters, not threaten to arrest Jews for being Jews.
  18. Correction. I meant married to a non Mexican. Could be a Thai If you're married to a Mexican you can get residency based on the marriage rather than retirement finances.
  19. There are visa lawyers but to get the initial visa it must be done OUTSIDE of Mexico so that is not done with agents. Once you're in Mexico, there are further processes to go through at Mexico immigration. Then there are renewals, possible citizenship applications. For the internal stuff, many people do use lawyers. There isn't a forum comparable to aseannow for Mexico but there are lots of links and hundreds of youtube videos on the retirement process. There are some cool things lawyers can help with. For example, if you're married to Mexican including same sex, one person can get the temp or permanent residence and then later in Mexico, you can add the spouse without them qualifying and they get the same residence status. There even a path to residence in Mexico without ever applying for the initial visa anywhere or showing any finances. It's based on living in Mexico for a long time for a specified time period and whether Mexico renews the program or not on an annual basis. So it's a crap shoot. It's called REGULARIZATION. Mexico's offer is great. With an initial temporary residence based on show money (can be in retirement accounts) outside of Mexico, you can begin a path towards permanent residency and even citizenship without ever showing money again and never an import to Mexico requirement. Or if you have the funds, get perm residence instantly. Perm residence is for life.
  20. Hi there, Based on a report here some years ago, I think it probably IS possible to apply for temporary or permanent Mexican residency via the Mexican Embassy in Bangkok. HOWEVER, as I recall from the report, as they don't do many of these in Thailand they send everything to Mexico for approval, and they will be interpreting the requirements in the most rigid ways. They don't want to send an application where there is any doubt. On the other hand at a Mexican Consulate in the U.S. it's all done right there. So probably possible, but arguably not recommendable. If doing this in the US you are free to shop for a friendlier consulate. They each have different styles and even financial levels! Laredo Texas is reputed to be the most liberal. If you try Bangkok let us know how it goes. Where do you plan to live in Mexico? Buenos Suertes.
  21. Don't play games. It was killed because wannabe dictator trump ordered it killed so that he could save the border crisis issue for his campaign. He didn't want to solve it. Trump is a total sleazeball. All about him. Nothing about improving the country.
  22. The more upset that traitor troll clown is, the more you know you're doing something right.
  23. The trump cultists hope we'll forget. It's a fair bet unfortunately.
