@Vijay ****

I think that option requires me to convert my meagre investments to cash in the bank, but I don't want to do that because spinal damage limits my options for income so I must be careful

@Jon *******

someone said the marriage visa can be done fairly quickly, so perhaps that is my first step, then someone else said there's a type O extension which lets me work as well, so I'll see if I can find out about that option

@Sam ********

I have other long term goals through, so I'd also just be happy doing it "on the side" as a private tutor rather than actually starting a school

@Sam ********

yeah ok, I can do that if I cash in ... so I guess I'll just have to discuss ideas with my partner and plan things a bit ... but that's good to know

For the benefit of the ignorant imbecile with his abusive and unwarranted assumption based on nothing but his own sheltered existence arrogance and ignorance named Alan Alan and whom has already been blocked so I don't have to listen to his tedious reply whatever it might be -- but if this loser has "friends" they can relay this reply -- FYI I worked in entertainment and events where you literally work for everyone who comes along, same thing in hospitality, same thing in construction demolition & industrial maintenance and so on ... YOUR UTTER LACK OF IMAGINATION to perceive the possibility of that which you haven't personally experienced, is nothing to be smug about or to so carelessly admit in a public forum for everyone to see ... it is not a good advertisement for your own crippled intellect ... now buzz off idiot

@Roger *********

what type of visa is it precisely, what's the name or code of the one you're talking about ?

@Adam *****

I picked up a hitchhiker nearby Byron Bay NSW once who had done 170

@Adam *****

I can barely remember anymore ... you make it and I've done it or something similar or can figure it out from first principles and a little extrapolation and research

@Jon *******

never actually got an undergrad, that wasn't the purpose of my study and sadly the whole Australian education system has declined incredibly over the past 20-30 years ... I could put that money in the bank here but it would require cashing in investments which I want to avoid until I'm ready ... so without work, I'll need an option that doesn't require me to show quite that much in the bank

@Sam ********

thanks, most of my money (which isn't a huge amount but a lot I guess by Thai standards) is invested, and I don't want to remove it from there just yet, but can you estimate just a rough ball park of what it cost to set everything up for your business?
