Betsy Ann Harrison I'm not knocking her bank balance 🤦, I'm saying its never a good idea to post about it, even if we're not talking millions/billions, does that now make sense to you
Why i THINK it shouldn't be a problem, the visa system is about 1. Making sure you leave at the end, 2. You don't work, so you show you can support yourself (funds in bank), 3. That you're not trying to be a longterm resident using incorrect visa. If all these 3 are met, then why should or would any country deny you the visa? A lot of these rules are in place to stop people cheating the system. I think you will be fine. How many do you hope to apply for each year, 2,3,4?
Graeme Mort why apply for 6m when he doesn't even intend using the entire 3m visa, to apply for a 3m visa, he will not require any funds in a Thai bank account, as each time he applies he will have to show the funds are available in his home country
Phillip Drake what? Do people actually bring sand to the dessert? I see the falang couples I just assumed they were holiday makers or Russians waiting out the war 🤣.
Crazy thing is you marry a Thai bird and the amount needed is cut in half, but bring your western bird, the amount doubles, I'm trying to make sense of it all, the only thing I got is...
Botox, fillers, expensive makeup, £40 nails, £100 hair extensions, designer bags, and just over all demanding and materialistic, other than that I got nothing 🤔
Harry Harris there's causious and then there's Harry Harris 🤣🤣🤣.
No I get you my friend, its worrying times crossing the middle east. I'm booked to go home, worrying will my flight cancel, will they double the price last minute, and now (as it drags on) will i get a reasonably priced flight to get back here 😱🫣.
But to swing some politics in there, cos I likes a bit of drama, Trump needed to stop the regime, they had chance after chance at the negotiating table, and every president b4 him has talked this action but just didn't have the balls to go through with it. INCOMING! 🤣🤣🤣🫣
Young not true, for example, its the LAW BREAKERS that caused immigration to change the law and insist we deposit 800k for a whole 5 months out of the year, 20yrs ago you just had to show it there. So it does effect the legal beagles in quite a big way. The legal way also makes us now show our full 12 months statements, it never used to be like this. Who knows what new rules will come into effect over the next 10yrs all in an attempt to weed out the LAW BREAKERS. The stupid part is, the biggest law breakers and tea leafs are the corrupt immigration officials, weed them out and keep them out, then there would be no cause to keep applying more and more strict rules to the good guys
Have any of you ever wondered how the agents get past this very important obstacle?
The only logical way is to give a chunk of your fee as a back hander to someone they know at immigration. Immigration heads are constantly trying to route out these criminals, if for no other reason than to get their cut. Either way this cannot go on for ever, its a risky method for long term living, you could fall in love/ buy a condo/ start a fam. Then after years eventually find yourselves barred from the country you called home. Fuk that, I've never been a gambler
