The problem is - the monthly income has to be verified by your Embassy. And the UK Embassy won't provide those verifications. You can show it coming into a Thail bank log book monthly over a year but it doesn't help in the short term.

Are you one of the groups of people (11) who qualify to apply to enter Thailand?

sure, I've loved it here. I agree. I've made lots of friends amongst the expats and locals here, it's been great.

I'm on Koh Phangan now. It's extremely quiet with more and more people leaving every week (I've been here since March), it's been quite dramatic. Even some of the expats seem to be leaving because their businesses have closed. Plenty of cheap accommodation but limited places open, it's a bit of a ghost town, if that's an issue for you. Still enough to buy food etc though.

Someone posted recently on this site to say they had just got theirs (they’re in Thailand)

See, told you so, didn’t I? You just can’t resist it. But do prove me wrong (I know that will give you huge satisfaction). You think you’re funny? God help us. I’m guessing you must be Canadian.

@Todd ********

And you always have to have the last word. Because you're one of those kind of guys.

@Todd ********

Yes 'of course' you make good real estate decisions (because you have to be right about absolutely everything) and then can't wait to tell everyone else about it. This is because you're a self-righteous bore, as demonstrated by your many zzzz posts on this site. God I dread it when I see your name come up in a timeline, which is a problem because you post endlessly. Here's the thing - I don't care what you think.

That's because people lack empathy - they wouldn't like it to happen to them but don't mind doing it to others. Same with most antisocial behaviour (which is what it is).

@Todd ********

It's actually against the law in many countries and yeah, in my view, it is annoying and inconsiderate. Would you like it if someone did it right outside your house?
