What info did you need)

I’m assuming you got the same Dm’s as me. If not there is two agents so far, one for 78,000 who will do the entire thing for you including flights. The other for 65,000 including 6 months Muay Thai classes in Patong. Both not bad if you can’f quite meet the requirements…

Yes and make sure it’s for the right office. Are you confident you meet the criteria? Give yourself a few extra days in case you need to come back for another appointment.

I’m going to check out Indonesia next, then Japan. Eventually maybe Kenya and Morocco. We found some good visas in Kenya and Japan has essentially free housing in the country side, I want to check it out.

Thailand is great temporarily. But the longer you stay the more you realise how fake everything is. The women are totally unmarriageable and have absolutely no respect for men. Good for a good time, not for a long time.

and the only business opportunities I see here is like only fans management. It can’t be local. The girls must be in charge and can’t require set times or hard work load. And anything remote, mjght as well hire in Philippines, Nigeria or bangladesh. So onlyfans.

And as onlyfans is illegal, I see only sales opportunities, not business. So ‘sell’ here, not setup shop. That should be in Dubai or Hong Kong.

But to escape the west? With a 5 year visa this is absolutely the best stepping stone there is. But it is that. A stepping stone:

As far as I can see in Malaysia there’s no actual residency option. Plus I just didn’t like the place. The indian and chinese population were so overtly rude to the malay’s I just couldn’t stand it. I saw cambodia moving in the same direction.

@Seb *******

99% of people aren’t really remote workers or business owners man. Has nothing to do with being smart or not. They have no other choice.

My immediately feedback is the school or agent will need to have a relationship with immigration. So you need to start looking for schools who are offering it, which I think we will start looking for now actually so thanks. Have seen a few agents jump on it, but seems more of a marketing ploy. The ones I have contacted haven’t even responded or just seem dodgy so I don’t have one I trust enough to refer to yet sorry.

I don’t understand the relevance to the post. Oh, why hire an agent? Because:

1. It reduces the risk of being rejected - lots ‘seem’ like they are being accepted but if they’re not receiving tens of thousands now, they will be soon. And lots are also being rejected.

2. This is something you want to do as fast as possible as they will recind this visa for sure.

3. You save money by having someone make sure you can get it: Some people are going to make the mistake of going to the wrong embassy, some are going to apply online thinking they can then go to an embassy overseas when they. Some are just going to submit the wrong details. There is tonnes of mistakes people can make.

4. Some people have more money then time, to fly overseas, multiple times with the chance of failing, to some will not be worth it.

On top of that. This is not a residency visa. It doesn’t lead to residency and never will. So I am looking for visas + countries which offer long term visas, this being probably second best to Taiwan’s gold card right now. And also actual residencies + agents who can help with both

@James *******

sorry?

@Gigi *****

I haven’t even looked into that aspect of it yet. I have a VA scouring the globe for visa agents + visa options for me. Will ask her tomorrow to look into it.
