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.

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.

This really disrupts their business model of selling over priced elite visas + other antiquated over-priced visas, so am thinking it will need to be people who have already gone through the process who then want to help others will be the new norm.

I haven’t found a good agent yet, but am looking.

ok

You stay in thailand,

you don’t live there until you are a citizen or resident. They’ve done a good job tricking people into not seeing the difference.
