How did you do it ?
and the stereotype of those who you see walking around with their wife, is not especially something Thai women with options in life want to be associated with, myself also do not want to be associated with. -

The abrupt welcome on my 3rd Visa Exempt
We have a very different view of reality. On the way back from a business trip to Malaysia, owing to rain damage to my passport, Malaysian immigration control came very close to blocking me from leaving their country. Even saying that I would need to obtain a new passport. Luckily, a top supervisor let me through. With this in mind you can imagine my extreme concern at Thai Immigration letting me in. I carefully selected a young female officer. It was a good choice. I giggled slightly when she looked in shock at the rain damaged passport, I promised her I'd get a new one, she laughed, and through I went. -

LTR Visa is Now available for Long Term Residency
BOI publishes LTR stats every two months on their LTR website. Up until around mid 2024 the stats only reflected the number of "Applies" (a.k.a., Applications) but didn't say how many were Endorsed (a.k.a., Approved). So a person didn't have any idea as to how many get Approved like for every 100 Applications 50 get Approved, etc. Then around mid 2024 BOI changed to reporting the number of Approved (Endorsed) applications but didn't reported how many Applications were submitted. So, once again, a person didn't have any idea to what the Approval "rate" was....the percentage that got approved. So, what I did was to take some LTR stats from the two charts at the bottom of the post....one that reported the number of Applications and then another that reported the number of Approvals but each covered a different period of time...one for 20 months and one for 27 months. Put those stats in a spreadsheet, did a little extrapolation trying to make an apples-to-apples comparison from two different types of stat charts, and did a little more math in an attempt to determine the "Approval Rate"...the approximate percentage of Applications that cross the Approval finish line. Below is that data...a chart and the two BOI stats charts I used for the source data. Turns out the Wealthy Pensioner LTR visa has an approx 59% approval rate, the Work From Thailand Professional a 31% approval rate, etc. See the chart for all the LTR types. Below chart just shows stats for the number of Applications over a 20 month period...does say how many were Approved. Below chart shows how many Applications were Approved over a 27 month period but not the total number of Applications submitted. -

Looking at Lazada's cheapo laptops with Ryzen 7 chips - anyone bought one?
Seems most buyer problems come from Windows not updating due probably to fake licence key, the hardware seems to work fine with the chief complainer identified above grouching about wi-fi and bluetooth. For me - if it works then it's ok, I only want to use it at home with our very fast fibre BB and if it won't operate on the inbuilt wi-fi there is also a dongle one can use. Also I got cable I can use for the internet. Just need to think about dodgy Windows licence key issues, not sure I want to go down the keygen route. -
