Erm Achtually, Ive heard 59 seconds.... haha. I am starting to preach like yoda for stuff like this now "Understand Immigration you must not, gamble you must do"
we've been building our business, a retirement community, for about 6 months now and are going to live there for a while. Its only like 15 minutes from where we live now. We even told the home visit immigration people about it and they said its not a big deal. But ya we tried to do the same. But its tough when you are like "temporary living" in a place. They were honestly very nice and friendly.
Ohhh big man. Let me tell you haha. I had 6 trips to immigration, 1.5 hour drive one way. To finally get my under consideration stamp, did my house visit last week. I am going mid October to get my actual stamp and have been informed they will do another house visit, which ive never heard of but ok. My big uh... grip. Was i would go, present paperwork, "no no this wrong" they would sign off on everything else. Come back in a few days after fixing paperwork, then that piece would be fine, but something else that was literally signed off on was wrong, so on and so on and so on.
Ive never heard of one. Maybe in the muslim communities sure. but that is a different... issue. As for farangs marrying a Thai for a visa, ive literally never heard of that. Especially with the DTV visa now, why would you go through the headache of a fake marriage and marriage visa?
