And extremely revealing - far more so than he knows - of his priorities and requirements.Not the type perhaps the BOI officials had in mind when dreaming up the wealthy profile.

There are posts of a some who did not qualify, and/or whose finances were not structured to meet the BoI criteria, who detract from the visa.

 

As for BoI not meeting their goals - why post that was bad for them (for Boi for a 'flawed strategy' ) ?  Why say anything?

 

Are you attempting to drum up support to stop the visa?

 

if not then why post at all?

 

The post accomplishes nothing other than risk a good thing for those who obtained the visa.

 

 

What a strange post.I take an interest in immigration matters and on a forum like this there is the opportunity to exchange views with others.Holders of PR are constantly expressing criticism of its shortcomings and creakiness.Nobody thinks it will bring the system crashing down.

From your post I derive that you believe BOI didn't want people who appreciate  being owners of their homes, and love having good food, with good wine while having and educated conversation, in English, with a classy, clever Chinese lady.

 

I am sure, that's exactly who BOI have in mind, when it comes to retirees.

Not at all.  This thread has been very useful for those who successfully applied for the LTR, and obtained suggestions / guidance on the way.

 

And then we have posts like yours noting it is failed strategy for BoI.  Why post such when the intent is to help?

Ok  - then I am VERY surprised you did not note a number of posts of detractors of the LTR.  Detractors who either did not want to apply (because they knew they did not qualify), or those who applied and could not make the qualification, or those who could make it (but did not because they refused to restructure their finances to meet BoIs requirements).  I recall one claiming even one particular well known billionaire could not meet the BoI requirements (due to how his wealth was financed - where of course that was nonsense - but detractors will be detractors).  ....

 

So given you take an interest - now you know there are a number of detractors.

There is a clear difference there between a PR and an LTR.  One is Permanent Residency.  The other is a Visa. 

 

Visa types come and go.  Permanent Residency does not come and go (only requirements change).

Well, I uploaded about 12 pdfs from my laptop, a couple of days later I answered a question on my health cover, and within a fortnight I got instructions to get my passport stamped. So unlike it was a clerical error they liked my type. About fifty of my former UN colleagues got the same treatment.

 

And you, maybe should stop talking out of your anus of things you know nothing about. I am not saying you are trolling  but definitely a IUI.

 

Bye
