Writing is on the wall for O/A extensions of stay. Best to explore medical insurance options and not be faced with issues at the 11th hour, we have been warned, just as the income requirement saga. I started beating the bushes with the designated medical insurance companies. Because I am an old man, I will need a physical along with application form, so I will have to pull the trigger on this at some point in time prior to my extension stay expiration date. I am learning the insurance companies and immigration officers are willing to work with us on this. I have lived here in retired status many years and would prefer to stay.

I have also registered successfully accordingly to your directions. Thank you very much. Now I'm waiting for the password to be sent to my email. We travel often within Thailand and this will help out big time. It was getting old standing in line at Immigration's after getting back home.

Chiang Rai Immigration office still requires TM30 after my local travel anywhere in Thailand, i.e. Bangkok and even overnight stays in Chaing Mai. Frustrating that the Immigration Office are not standardized.

As an American I am embarrassed by this Chuck Wow guy, his Vlog name is offense and his treatment of Thai people is disgusting. Recommend his deportation immediately, it is time to put these mentally deranged e-beggars out of business. Just Saying!

Since there are so many different Visa's and many complicated situations, I want to just address the over 50 folks that have a retirement visa on the income rules. (Because that is me) For many years we all have been here and used the easy source of getting an income letter verified by our Embassies. (for me USA) Well we all know that process has gone by the way side. And the Thai Immigrations is wanting a way to verify income to fill the void. The Thai Immigration system is not to blame and this rule has been in Law for many years. It was easy to process our yearly events and go about our business and life. Now we must all try to adjust to the current rules and processes. I honestly believe that no one wants to see families in distress or folks having to go back to there home countries, especially for us folks that live here by choice. Now what has happened in the past is water under the bridge and we all have to move forward. I recommend that we commit to the rules at hand, as I have learned through you all. The immigrations offices are trying to work with us on a case-by-case basis. This is best for us folks that have committed to living here, not discounting the folks that want to burn the candle at both ends. We all have to make a serious decision now. So, do not be stressed, keep reading and asking questions and do visit your local immigration office for current updates. Remember if there is a Will, there is a way. "Just Saying"

I need some valid inputs, trolls please do not response out of respect to the Widow. My Thai sister-in-law loss her Dutch husband last year in November 2017, who she was legally married to for many years. Supposedly he split his inheritance in Holland between her and his two biological children in Holland. She even traveled to Holland to set it up this way and sign papers apparently. It has been almost a year and his children keep saying that it takes time for the settlement, i.e they have to run through the tax system, and she still does not know if she will ever receive any money? What is your take on this? Sad, that this unknown is happening? But, I am not a lawyer and surely do not know about Dutch Law. Lots of stories about how Thai girls that advantage of Western men, but seems I have seen way more Western men take advantage of good Thai ladies, so I am not totally feeling good about this. I feel sorry for her and hope all works out..... oh by the way the Dutch Embassy in Bangkok is Worthless, just saying., So do not say contact them, been done many times. They are only good for reporting deaths to host country, not there to Help Dutch citizens or there legal spouses... Do not take this as a slam, the American Embassy is no different or even worst.

You will find a big scale of budget here in the LOS, as you would in any other country. The more money you have, the better the quality-of-Life. Important that you have medical insurance. The replies to this post are plentiful. Good luck! You might apply these percents to your budget to see how it would work out for ya.

I meet all the requirements on a positive note, so when this new change hits the street, I will be there to take advantage of it. I am
sure there are many in my category that will benefit from this. Thank you Thailand.

Access to US DMDC websites from Bangkok

I am having one heck of a time getting DMDC to fix the problem mentioned in previous texts also. Hence, I can not get to the Tricare Overseas website to file and check claims. Presently I have no problem with iDme & LoginGov protocols, but they do not connect to Tricare Overseas web access. Yes, DS Logon is transferring over to MyAuth which will use Okta verify App for codes.
But, here it the kicker, to get to MyAuth set up, one has to pass the DSLogon gates with 5-Digit code one time only! SAD that we are treated like second class citizens since we live abroad. But, rest assure my Government has no glitches or codes in deducting tax from my retirement pension. I am sure many other Tricare customers will eventually be experiencing this buffoonery.
Ya, I heard, many have not had problems, they use VPN, they use MagicJack, they have buddies in the processes, But, in my simple brain, I venture to see that the noose is tightening and we will have to all try and work together to get a solutions. Note: I generated my open ticket numbers from the DMDC Help desk; with the promise of getting a call back, crickets! More to follow.....
