I was on an ed visa. My school offered another year to me when it was coming to en end. I decided to go with a retirement visa instead.

Sounds like your school is the weak link.

@Dimitri *******
did you see it said “unless you want to

Live some places in bkk”

EVERYWHERE else in thailand is FAR cheaper.

There are jobs a available in nearly every province.

Again. I pay ฿5000 IN CHIANG MAI 1km from the old city.

It i move 12-15km out side of thebold city i can get a 3 bedroom 2 bath house with a garden for 6-9k baht.

For 10k baht you get swimming pools and other “luxuries”.

There are many other options outside of bkk.

Loei, nan and phayao are even cheaper than chiang mai.

I pay ฿5000/month for my condo in chiang mai.

give it time. Australia will have cases for years to come. I bet they are ine of the last countries to “get rid” of covids.

Time will tell

Get another ED visa. The schools in chiang mai are doing it no problem.

Probably better to get here fast as you may be able to get an additional education extension.

Always better to change when you are NOT on the covid exemptions.

Tick tock.

Just to be clear. Does the 2018 ruling about not needing a work permit to work at your own company, only apply to the USA treaty businesses?

Thanks

The form

They want is a residence certificate.

@Greg *******
thanks. I am just worried about doing some advertising and a bit of outsourcing.

All the “do gooder police type foreigners “ that wanna turn everyone in.

Like the guys that say “does he have a work permit” about the farang that are picking up trash in the streets.

Thanks i will look into the temp permit. Cheers
