@Robert ******

thank you for taking the time to reply. out of interest how many boxes did you bring and did you have to pay much tax duty

did you ship a container? im reading some places that you need a work permit, other places that a retirement 1 year visa is sufficient and then that the retirement has to be over a year old. i have emailed customs to ask and have tried the embassy but so far nothing back and its getting quite important to know

Ok so do I have this right. I apply for METV I book an onward flight for 60 days time to KL. I stay a night and come back to Thailand which then gives me a further 60 days? Do I need to book onward travel to show in Kl when re entering Thailand?

Thank you for the heads up. Unfortunately I’m in Spain at the moment and trying to decide if it’s better to use my Residencia and go through Madrid or use uk passport and go through Gibraltar...........

Thank you very much

I live in Spain and have tried over the years for visas for auPairs that are from places like Philippines and Sri Lanka, also Russia. It’s near on impossible! I eventually got a Russian through but only because she didn’t apply for a visa at all and then winged it at the airport which I don’t recommend. She was kept there for a very long time and really put through the works. I have even tried lawyers here to help me and they all tell me the same thing, impossible. I would suggest applying for a different cou try and then travelling into Spain on it. Good luck

ok great thanks hun

@Steve ******

thank you, so do I need to show return flights upon entry? Or we can come on one way tickets?

@Robert ******

thank you

Brian Gause so that means that I have some chill time before I have to start studying? And would I need a return flight if I’m a METV?
