...3 Lots of different opinions about the visa issue...embassy says multi entry..some ppl say tourist visa?

if on "O" mutli-entry yes...but seeing as you are on 28/28 rotation you can get away with a visa wavier stamp if you plan your in's and out's properly...

Glenn, even if with careful planning of your visits to Thailand you manage never to exceed a total of 90 days visa-exempt stays within a six-month period you should opt for the multiple-entry non-O visa which is, as Astral said, the ideal visa for you. With repetitive visa-exempt entries you would soon find yourself held up at the immigration desk for a long time on every arrival in Thailand while the officer is trying to figure out

1. when your current six-month period started

2. how many visa-exempt days you have already had during this period

Get the multiple-entry non-O visa and you will breeze through Thai immigration.

1 Is there any problem with me just goin to bkk and renting a house?

2 If i save with a thai bank..any chance of a mortgage after 1 year saving with them?

3 Lots of different opinions about the visa issue...embassy says multi entry..some ppl say tourist visa?

4 Dont want to take future mum inlaws offer..might get shafted down the line..Is limited company my best option?

5 Whats the best way to organise my money?...Do i just take ready cash back to bkk and bank it? or have it transfared to thai bank?

6 I got a list of 33 lawyers in bkk..If any1 has used a good english speaking lawyer,can any1 recomend a decent trustworthy one?

Anyway ppl...thx and keep ur comments comin...

Dear Glenn

I used a firm of lawyers called BSA Law in Rajdamri, and I found them to be very professional and cost efficient. They have a web site and a very good American working for them who can communicate with you if you have any problems with Thai. I used them to buy my condo, and they were excellant, as I had to return to the UK, and they did all of the legal work, house registration, etc., and kept me upto date with the procedures via e-mail. I would certainly use them again without hesitation.

thx for ur input...this BSA....not sure if the SA part is Sunbelt Asia?...or something different.Sent sunbelt an email(quoted at top of my forum page)..still waiting for a reply,so i have resent same mail again.....soooooo slow to get a reply

Glenn, No BSA Law has nothing to do with Sunbelt Asia. They are a firm of attorneys who can help with most of your enquiries. Good Luck.
