@Traceys ********

if you have visa service available could you post your link? I’d hire you before driving myself to tears. 73 here and not savvy.

@Robert *******

I completely sympathise with you. It was a major struggle for me as well.

@Nigel ********

an American married to a Thai who has lived in Thailand for years told me. He and wife own a business and he is paranoid (rightfully so) to be “reported” if he is caught even just helping in the business doing something as simple as sweeping trash, clearing a table etc. . He told me he was told about the problem the volunteers had “working”, by the volunteers themselves.

I heard volunteers after the tsunami were cited for working without a permit just clearing rubble away😰

my hesitation with getting the retirement visa before going to Thailand is the mandatory health insurance requirement. I’d rather self insure.

@James *******

yes. 1968-69 years Batu Ferringhe was a paradise.

@Malcolm ********
