But without the details whats the point - I would put money on the vast majority of rejected claims is because people tried to hide previous conditions to get a cheaper premium and got caught out

@Erik ******

So why would you consider this one?

@Dave *********

ah ok - I've heard of nightmare places. So the answer is move to gods waiting room! 😄

@Dave *********

Not sure which one you go to but at HH main immigration if you get there late morning OR late afternoon you're looking at 30 mins max (extension). A couple of times for a 90 day I've walked in and just walked straight to a desk, no ticket required. Get there first thing and it's usually a scrum with people who had the same idea. Years of experimenting.

@Dave *********

Late afternoon is always better than first thing in my experience

I can't. I'm retired having more than enough money to live on, BUT when I need cash I just send it to myself from various cash piles (from property sales etc) or from investments. I don't need 80k a year to live on (most years) as I already own everything here so I only need 'general living money' I told them I could prove my investments were growing by more than 80k a year but they said that would not be applicable as it would have to be in thai stocks. I've given up now. Doesn't seem fit for purpose if I can't get it, and others with less wealth can.

@Jan *****************

Thanks I've already got the retirement visa, but was just interested in the differences. When I applied for the LTR I was told I probably have more than most applicants in terms of wealth but it isn't in the right places. Cash doesn't count and there is no way on earth I'm leaving 250k in Thai stocks, way from western markets, when they couldn't tell me where it would be invested and by whom. Given I've read they are 995,000 short of their projections, someone needs to actually accurately assess who qualifies and the easiest way for them to get it as right now very wealthy people can't tick their boxes.

@Steve *********

eh?

@Wallace *****

yes but I was told by the LTR office it has to be in the form of a tax return.

@Jan *****************

oh wait 150,000 a year for the privilege? Jesus!
