Mate, I'm already housing five other Canadian refugees. There is a limit you know

@Todd ********

I understand Trudeau is looking at retiring on Koh Samui. Any truth in the rumour? I know you have the connections 🤣

@Mark ********

It sure does you lucky bastard! 🤣

@Henrik ***

Incorrect. The baht transfers must have a one year history. Three months is insufficient

@Mark ********

Yes Canadians can use the affidavit method. The only embassies which refuse to sign the affidavit are US, UK and Australia

@Beverley ******

Beware of people suggesting you use agents. It basically means you will pay a bribe to bypass a requirement. Once you start this method there's no way to get off it.

@Beverley ******

The problem is the Australian embassy in Bangkok will not provide the affidavit required by Thai immigration, so you are confined to the baht monthly transfers. I simply used the OA visa to get free entry into Thailand, and then commenced the transfers. As soon as you have 12 monthly transfers under your belt, leave Thailand and re-enter on the O visa

There is another option. If health insurance is declined, the applicant can use the value of assets in Australia (bank accounts, shares, property etc) in lieu of insurance, provided it's to the same value.
