I’m in my mid-60’s in Thailand in a 90 day O Visa.

I’m a US Citizen. Where or what are some good resources including white papers to start studying Citizenship, Residency, the pros and cons, do I want to do the 180 thing.

I find the info on social media engaging but take its more situational of the specific person but non the less gets you thinking.

Don’t take your legal advice from Facebook, but you know what I mean.

Just to share I recently found out that a person could get an Educational (ED) Visa and with that a work permit to work no more than 20 per week in Thailand. You would have study all the requirements of an ED Visa, but as you study more it’s quite varied.

I thought the Amity agreement resolve forcing a Thai to be part owner or majority owner.

I thought the changes to the Amity agreement allows for 100% American ownership.

All the other rules still apply.

is it standard to get your first O visa approved for 90 days

O is not necessarily O is it. I applied for a Retirement Visa and only got an O visa for 90 days. I thought retirement visa are O-A and O-X.

That’s social media at its finest. Have a thought? Throw it out there!

Why do your own research, why try to studying your situation, why look into anything then share it to have some value ……

When you can just blurt out anything on social media!

My opinion is that changing VISA type is not impossible maybe even not difficult.

The reason I say this is, I have a 90 day VISA and just communicated with a company needing English teachers. They noted if I’m in the country on any type of VISA they can take care of changing it. They do not work with people who do not already have VISA and not already in the country.

Might not apply to all VISA types.

I’m hear now almost 3 weeks and you just have to really studying the system, review posts for various insights and look to local resources for opinions, insights and help.

Oh yes, the virtual address. A virtual address is way to maintain an address in a place with without physically being there. It’s like planting a flag, in a place so people can still send you stuff but you don’t have to be there.
