 you might all be in a quarantine golf resort hotel but they still don’t want people to mingle. All I’m saying is that it’ll most likely be a very expensive hotel and you’d want to make sure 100% that you’ll be able to play golf and if so from which day will you be able. A lot of the hotels have taken away the gym from their package as this was seen to be away of transmission. I’m not sure if that is still the case.

 it was part of the discussion that I heard about 3 months ago, that the golf resort, would be exclusively for Covid quarantine people, and you would be able to play golf. Which of course, we all know that three of the best things for humans, is fresh air, sunshine, and exercise.....but that is common sense which during these Covid times, common sense is an old fashioned idea....

 I would not hold my breath e on the STV. My understanding is that in Covid times ED visas are only being granted to University students. I assume, but do not know for sure that it would also apply to someone applying to convert in country. My guess is that there have been way too many people abusing the ED and volunteer visas as an excuse to stay in the country.

That’s how I got stuck here, but I hope and expect things to change in the next 2-3 months with “vaccines” etc... or I may apply for a retirement visa in Thailand. Good luck

I don’t think the 500k was so much the problem initially but requiring it going back 6 months, especially given at least in the US just how bad interest rates are this year.

The fit to fly seems a bit absurdly excessive when you already need a negative covid test, unless it’s to serve some other purpose

 yes i presume there thinking with the other visa was only taking people from low risk countries but as usual was messed up as they put nationality, which meant say a Singaporean living in the states could apply but an American living in Singapore could not.

They are extremly paranoid as is most of Asia of getting covid in the Country.

I was stuck in Singapore when it hit and basically lockdown and everyone wearing masks and strictly adhering to social distancing until was under control.

We been watching the west with shock how they have handled it.
