yes if they allowed 3x 330k...would be a bit nicer...:)
Michael ********
I agree that would make a lot of sense....

Now that they have a 20 year for 1 mill, it is much better value. That is 50k or 1500USD per year. and you never have to leave, they do reporting for you, trips to the airport, spa, golf....for 1500USD....That is pretty good. With visa renewals, going out of the country, trips to the airport, I spend that easily in a year.....plus all of the hassle added on.....If I had the spare cash I would prob go for it...but for retirement extensions, if you never leave the country it is only 1900 baht a year...so the price does not really compare...but I am not 50 for a while yet....

This is correct. The need for a return flight within 60 days is very much required. It could be asked for at the airport check in or upon arrival into Thailand. So it really is best to have one....even if a waver can be signed to not have one.....although I admit that I never have a flight when I get a tourist visa and it has never been an issue....you never know if the immigration person you have at the desk is having a bad day or not....it clearly says for a tourist visa....accom details, onwards flight and cash in hand CAN all be asked for...for arrival into Thailand. The signed waver would not get anyone through the gate...

Most consulates allow the waver or a statement to be signed which is handy :)

Perth Thai consulate. Visa requirements.

Yes Dianne. So you signed a statement of a waver. That was because a return flight is required for a tourist visa so you signed a waver to acknowledge that you would be responsible for the cost of flying your son home should you be denied entry into Thailand.
Michael ********
Actually Dianne. They are now asking for flight details in and out or a reason for a one way flight and accommodation details now. The requirements are now more detailed :(

Read on another page.....Once you sign a lease you are considered as the Housemaster or Possessor....so it is reasonable for you to lodge the TM30 and not the owner. Makes sense to me...Not sure where it all stands legally if there was a fine issued to a tenant and disputed.....

OK. Sounds good. Will talk to the Landlord. Thanks Tod.
