LTR Visa is Now available for Long Term Residency
Over the last few months I went through the process of getting an LTR visa. I had never looked into the visa until I had no money in a Thai bank to renew my marriage visa. My pension wasn’t enough to qualify but the withdrawals needed to buy a house, and then a condo, and build a house, gave me enough passive income to qualify. The application process was super easy aside from the website which seemed a bit buggy. I did it all on my phone over a couple hours and if I did it over I’d use a computer. I only received one request for additional information, and I sent the 176 pages of my complete health insurance booklet. I wasn’t in a hurry but after the 20 day deliberation time had entered 30 days I wrote asking if they needed anything additional and they approved my application that day. I printed out the three forms that come with the approval notice and booked my appointment to receive the visa. For the appointment I go to the LTR lounge and take a seat. Everything is collected and I sit for a while. After an hour or so I am asked to sign my passport copies and am then taken for a photo, then back to the lounge to sit before being taken to window where I pay. Then back to the lounge where after a while I am given my passport with visa. The whole process was a bit over two hours. The whole point of this post is that I read several stories about people having not printed out some form or missing something. The BOI sends the instructions of exactly what you need to take, and that’s it, there is nothing else. The other thing is that I’m not sure how having a visa agent would help in the process. All my financial and insurance information was already in pdf form so it’s just a matter of sending it directly to the BOI rather than having a middle man do that. Lastly, just the peace of mind the visa provides is just amazing. It’s like a giant weight has been lifted from my shoulders. The end. -

How to tell if you're dealing with a MAGA folk?
Interesting stats on this post. Probably the most popular and perhaps the most controversial and divisive I've made. I'm not necessarily proud of it. Meant to poke a little fun and bring some comedy relief, but alas, some took it pretty hard. Anyways, seems more people enjoyed it that hated it. Enjoyed: 37 Thumbs down: 27 -

Obviously, as others have said, you need to see a doctor to identify the cause. -

Crime Thai Prosecutor and Daughter Arrested in Japan for Assaulting Airport Staff
As you know, Japan is a very homogenous society. Japan has practiced a very strict parent-based nationality (jus sanguinis); as a result, even fourth generation immigrant descendants are still legally resident foreigners, not citizens (e.g., Koreans) (Lee, 2012). Realistically, “parent-based” is an euphemism for “race-based.” Japan is very much a society rooted in social custom, politeness respect for order and process etc. Deviating from those norms or being too different attracts attention. Some cultures are not easily compatible with the Japanese way of living. It is not because of an overt bias against blacks per se. Rather it is because of blacks are foreigners who are more visible than other foreigners. Many articles on this issue. Africans have a particularly difficult time with Japan immigration. It is not unusual for some innocent African to be detained and mistreated on the whim of an immigration officer. https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2024/05/09/japan-sees-an-increase-in-racial-profiling-of-foreigners_6670946_4.html I left my house for work at 6:30 a.m. and, 15 minutes later, I was in line for the morning train. I stood behind a gentleman who, upon noticing me standing behind him, patted his back pockets and turned his body so that he could keep a wary side-eye on me without, I guess, having to constantly glance over his shoulder. When we boarded the train, he scurried away to the other end of the car. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/community/2023/06/19/voices/note-people-color-interested-living-japan/
