Don't you mean OMB? 😆

The Volunteer and ED visas were abused by people not complying with the requirements by virtue of bribes being paid by agents to immigration officers. The DTV is an MFA initiative, the requirements are very easy to comply with so no bribes are payable. I think when a visa has been as successful as the DTV, the MFA will not be changing it any time soon. This government is more open to bringing in foreign money, the last one was stuck in the xenophobic middle ages.

No way in the world will it be stopped. It's been a huge success for Thailand, bringing in countless foreigners, all of them with wallets. Exactly what Thailand wanted!

I understand agents are charging 65k to 100k

Most landlords want 12 months, but some will negotiate, but expect to pay a higher rent. For example a 10,000/month apartment you might get for /month on a 6-month basis

Are you kidding? 🤣🤣🤣

Possibly not, but let's be realistic, any retiree that doesn't have a miserable 500k baht in cash management, savings, superannuation in their home country isn't going to last too long in Thailand! 😆

@David *******

Ah ok. I thought I'd missed some "fine print" in the video! 👍✅

@Todd ********

That's what I thought. It's a good one for lazy retirees who don't want to go through the process of registering a business name etc. This one is all done for you, and considering some agents are quoting 65k to 100k this seems pretty reasonable. They also say the "courses" can be done online, so you can learn about Thai language (Sawasdee Crap - box ticked), cooking (remember to always over-heat when warming up 7-11 food in a microwave - box ticked) and culture (when visiting a temple pull your shorts down to cover your knees, but ensure your t-shirt is long enough to cover the resulting bum crack - box ticked). How easy is that? 😆
