Paul Thomas After living in Thailand for 20 years, I have great trust in their system. Sure better than allowing mass migration , worse than the Plague.

Liam O'connell That is what I am doing for the next 12 months. I was putting in a much large sum every 2-4 months, but immigration wants monthly consistently. Years ago, I had income approval from the US Embassy but that route is not available...too bad.

I bypassed no immigration rules. I let the Thais handle it their way. It's their system.

ResilientCrocodile6133 Why not? Why shd I raise $25k when I pay an Agent $600 to fill out forms, get bank letters, cut through immigration red tape, save countless hours in lines and provide transportation to bank and immigration. Forty years ago, my billing rate was $100/hr. And, the cost of a $25,000 short term loan would be far greater than $500. The Thai system works well. And it was just a misunderstanding. She did add her 400,000 as originally agreed.

Greg Alexander It was THB. I had 400k in my bank account and the Agent only put 500k in. That's BS. I will meet with the Agent today and go to my bank together. The 400k I had in was my emergency fund!!!! I had told the Agent that.
