Potpong_Life Thank you.

Roger Mcintyre I have a yellow book and the pink I D card in what way has it helped you or worked it’s purpose?

Ruud van den Heuvel so if you want to stay four or five months of the year what is the appropriate visa?

@Stuart ********

do you apply for the multiple entry visa from your home country,then do 60 days and leave then come back after a few days, bit like a border bounce?

Joni1828 we have built a new house in Thailand and have two heated showers.We are in a rural area.heated shower units can be fitted anywhere as long as you have power.

@Keef *******

yes that is very true, but one person having a shitty day should not control an other country’s visa system.

@Keef *******

not with a DTV did you not read the comment above?

we my Thai wife and I have built a house in Thailand in 2019 just before Covid. My wife owned the land.Started with cash we brought from NZ the legal amount allowed then just transferred money as required as progress payments in small amounts.No problem and I thought very cheap. My wife did now the builder and we were in Thailand for most of the build.It is a western style house and very pleased with it. I am not worried about I being in her name as we have our own house in NZ.We are in a village and have no problems with here family.

@Stephen *******

We built it new in 2019 and couldn’t get back until 2023 but to our knowledge it has never been registered unless it happened when we did the TM30
