Oh damn. DTV looks better.

Not cheap Jon. More likely we have all we need and we are thoughtful about our money. Everyone has different priorities. Mine is a quiet house with palm trees and bamboo and healthy food.

If they're not poisoned by chemtrails etc.

I liked Bali in 1981. Too AUSSIE for me. I know people who've left Australia to go back to the old country, i.e Serbia, Croatia. Lots of pals in UK moved early: Bulgaria (no vaxxes), the wilds of France, Portugal. We are coming to Chiang Mai in about 2 months. I considered the new visa rather than non o plus extension but am not sure of it. The questions my Australian bank are now asking are beyond ludicrous. Need to find place to put modest amount of money.

@Shane *******

Leaving Australia for same reason.

I'm a bit wary of seeing this VIsa as the answer to so many things. If something is too good to be true it probably is. It's a very open use of wording but not specific enough.

@Ellie ******

How often do you do it?

@Tommy *******

We planned to get a retirement extension with a non O but this gives us 5 years of living in Thailand. Does it allow you to open a bank account easily so you can get a lease?

Well since the 70s, travellers have worked out ways to live in a country and overstay.

I'm still wondering what the catch is? I know that sounds cynical but what is in it for them to create something that screams 'abuse me?"
