I go to the office to report too as I go to a nice restaurant close by and an expat shop. Make a morning of it. :-)

Stressful? How do these people get through life? As for rendering there is a piece of paper stapled into you passport with a records of doing the 90 day with the next date required on it too.

Sorry why do you need to visit IO if you return from a trip? The 90 days resets upon entry. For years I never did a 90 day as I travelled on business while on a B and WP. As for rendering to do it just look in yiur passport. There is the 90 day report in there along with the next date required.r

You need 500k at the tome of application. You can not show 10 payslips of monthly income of 50k for example. It is not like the O Retirment Extension where you can show income instead of the 800k. There is no income requirement for the DTV

@Stephan **********

I do not know either as I did not watch it all. I still do not understand this "Fear" of 90 day reporting. I just answered in another thread. It is not complex or hard to do.

It is not complicated at all. It takes minutes even if you go in person. Fill in one form TM47 and hand it in with your passport. As for TM30 you are going to need that for more than just 90 Day Reporting.

@Stephan **********

Was it not in the video with the Canadian Retired Working for Yiu guy and the Minister from the MFA? Whether it was or not the 90 day has nothing to do with 90 day. That is entirely down to Immigration and they have agreed Elite and LTR are once a year. Some other BOI visas are similar.

@Katy ******

It is a great visa.

@Katy ******

I have no clue about cooking classes. The only one I know of is the Dusit School. No idea if they are offering the DTV though. The only worry I would have if I was using a short term course to get a 5 year visa is if Immigration questioned anything in the future ie as to see continuing study or training as extension or re-entry. Nobody can predict that right now though and anything is just speculation. With the Ed Visa somecwere asked to speak Thai at re-entry and had issues. They are hardly going to ask anyone to rustle up a Pad Thai.

@Katy ******

Exactly. Time to make hay while the sun shines. Same as with many gyms. No way is everyone paying for courses going to turn up for all the training they had paid for. They are paying for a 5 year visa. I do not blame the schools and gyms at all.
