@Paul *******

I'm only going from living in regions Paul and what I see,not from stats read from mile's away ,but you keep reading them if it makes you feel happy about where you live ,I've lived around including your country ,and believe me Thailand is the best 😜🍻

Never heard of any incidents with farang on border runs and I've done one and it was great,,personally I think danger on Thai roads is a bit over exaggerated,I lived in Cambodia 14 yrs and indonesia 3 yrs and there roads are very dangerous and visiting the UK and Ireland last year it's not great there ,if your going to stay in Thailand you can't keep going on about the road safety 🙄

Most countries have tax amenities agreements between them now and share tax information to make sure no one gets under the radar by living in another country . 🙏🏽

Surely visiting 4 times for a month or under is only one thing,Tourism,not maximising 60 days or extensions or bounces,But Thailand has the luxury of so many tourists now it can judge how it wants,or Worsley an individual I.O officer can judge,it really does need some guidelines to help people asking these questions ,rather than hanging wondering how a I.O officer is feeling 🙄

It's one hour travel but add in getting from the plane through immigration & baggage collection ,then check in,security and immigration other end ,so it's very tight 🙏🏽

thanks Brandon,I can meet all the requirements ,I was going to apply for the non-O to arrive on,so I can open a bank account and extend to the retirement 1 year,if this is correct .my concern is I have a prison sentence from when I was 21 in the UK,I'm now 53 and my concern was if I needed a criminal background check for non -O but appears not ,I would also like to apply for it either in turkey or Egypt as I don't intend visiting the UK 🙏🏽

@Brandon ***********

and from a 90 day non O,can I then once in Thailand extend to retirement visa ?🙏🏽

@Robert *************

with Non O do you have to provide a criminal data based check in the UK ?

@Chris ******

yes correct ,not every Irishman is IRA and not every American a red neck of course ,but there are quite a lot of Russians moving suspect money for sure ,but there's also lots of decent Russians about as well 🙏🏽

@Chris ******

do what I did 11 yrs ago and stop watching the news ,they want you to live in fear to keep there business going ,Myanmar is a lovely tourist safe country and I love going there .The visa bounce is run by the Thais ,5 minutes speedboat ,immigration 100m walk ,they show you the way,take your passport ,stamp you in and out in one go,give it back with a smile ,it's there business that they are paid for ,so very safe .Don't listen to BBC,Myanmar is friendly and so interesting ,the temples as Bagan are great . 🙏🏽
