Yawn. I'm 44, have a business here. I pay staff, pay myself, pay taxes and unfortunately deal with Thai civil servants. We're not all old and broke round here.

Yawn. If one has to get permission to stay somewhere, one is not a resident ergo one is a visitor, and depends on those Thai civil servants to remain.

But you will be old and broke when you retire.

She keeps pestering my "ex" to finance her a "start-up". The usual suspects: Nail salon, hair salon, a take away featuring only french fries and croissants, a condo in Pattaya to rent out etc etc etc. I keep telling them, that one only sees the few successful start- up's, nobody talks about the majority that never got off the ground.

Why would you care about your ex?

Block her and never accept contact from her again.

So many 'soft lads' on this forum.

Why would I block my best friend? We divorced for "technical reasons". Besides, it's her money at stake, not mine.

I would hate to see her money dissappear in some bottomless pit in Thailand.

I wasn't referring to you specifically as the discussion was about visitors to Thailand.

You'd have to give me a lot more information to guess. You are not a Thai national but don't need to extend a visa. Not much to go on and I'm not psychic.

No, you said "If one has to go to immigration to extend a visa, one is a visitor."

 

I do not go to immigration to extend a visa so there for according to you Iam not a visitor.

I pay tax here too and have done for many years.

Cannot recall the last time I was asked for a bribe by a civil servant.

You must be very unlucky.. or doing something dodgy to attract the requests.

Nothing special. Just own and manage a soapy.
