Popular Post Trvlr55 Posted February 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 17, 2022 says that the company on the included link will summarize the requirements however going to that link is all about signing up for different types of insurance, no information about these new programs. Is there any real information about how these programs works specifically? thanks! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Etaoin Shrdlu Posted February 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 17, 2022 Pacific Prime is in insurance broker, so this "article" is basically an advertisement for their insurance services. I think this type of thing takes some time to go from a cabinet resolution to concrete departmental regulations, so I don't think anything as been finalized yet. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnBZ Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Thai gov should make the visa processes easier and faster. It is less of the cost issue than the time issue. Still do not know what the 90 day reporting is all about. If the government get rid of the 90 day reporting, what bad things can happen?? Make it simple and charge more if you have to. This will make everyone happy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your a guest as are most of us are. Suck it up or choose another country. I still require mega hoops to take my Thai partner to Oz, even pre covid. Thailand is easy. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to rethink this. As a high net worth retiree I might be interested but I do not have a pension as such but live on investment income. So I'm unable to show an income of 80k baht a month although my actual "income" is far in excess of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filled in a couple forms, got an Invitation letter from my Family in Oz Made sure there was enough money in the bank to prove that I could pay for us whilst being in Oz . Gave them a good enough reason that my partner was going back to Thailand after the Holiday . That was about it I think. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, that's the answer I was looking for. Saw this was being "looked at" quite a while ago, year or more. article seems to say it was ready for applications.

Yes don't listen to the Thai appologists, my Thai nephew has been in Australia for over 7 years never had to show any money in the bank and such rubbish, I had his visa done every year and no , no 90 day reports or anything till he had his visa application done by a Thai agency who had no clue and his visa got rejected and he had to go back to Thailand, my Thai wife who has been here since 2001 and never will go back (apart from holiday) and she became an Australian citicen many years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaiyaTH Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 (edited) You meet the financial requirements and do business with success for over a decade, so you think this is great news and want to apply. You then get kicked out the door because you do not have a bachelors degree or the money comes via multiple ways, which not all qualify as proof. This stuff existed for quite a few years already, the only change is that the duration is now longer, apparently they thought that the lack of applications was due to the duration rather than requirements.

Well if you are at 80k USD in pension per year in the last 2 years including 1M USD in assets this new 10 yr visa is great....... give it some time, they will tack on health insurance of some sort as well.......the OX may be more reasonable......

Please understand that "high net worth" individuals do not require health insurance because they know its a scam, so they self insure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freedomnow Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Have they ammended any of the requirements since the ink has dried ? Did they use this 'change the finally agreed conditions' tactic on every previously invading horde since time began ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
