Thanks. I thought it all sounded too good to be true, when the DTV was first announced. I'll just carry on with my 90 day non-O for the time being. Pity it is single entry only.
I don't see myself doing muay Thai or cooking but a medical appointment may be possible. The term 'such as' in para 2 of the eligible foreigners requirement implies a degree of flexibility.
I stay 6 months in two 90-day blocks each year. I get a multiple entry non-imm O visa (over 50 with state pension) from the UK. This gives a 90 day stay every time I enter during the one year validity of the visa.
Keep up the good work, Tod.You have been an invaluable source of accurate visa info, to me and many others, over many years. So sorry you have had hassle with a group member. I hope he/she is removed. There is no place for such harassment in this group.
