How much money did you make on interest for them holding your money. And isn't it funny you need less financial for being married than single.

It's the game of thailand.csnt do one without the other. Need bank for visa and visa for bank. It's to force you into the agent route. Just surrender to the stupid games. There is no national standard to their own rules. Just pay the agent.

Just like the online for entry into Thailand. Still has not happened. When they say something new is going to happen, it means a 10 project to look at the idea of change

@Robert ********

that just don't like to make anything easy but they sure do love is spending our money and taking care of generations of family. For some reason Thai government acts like they are supporting delinquent farangs, what a joke. My inlaws both get Thai retirement which is only 1000 baht a month but they want thousands from us. Makes no sense for the difficulties when they need the money

@Nongnuch *******

yep I hear you. It's funny how Thailand wants to be this new developing country over all it's neighbors but still have what you call "Thai logic". That's what makes Japan and Korea superior as a nation. They have a national standard and pride. Lived in Japan for a few years. Absolutely loved it but it's expensive unlike Thailand. Great point on Thai logic . Prostitution is illegal but they promote Nana plaza as the sex capital of the world. Perfect "Thai logic".

love the humor

@Brandon ***********

wouldn't the concept of a national policy on immigration be great. Instead of let people make up the rules for each office. Just an idea for 2025

@John *********

just feel lucky your country offers the affidavit. It's embassy job to help us but to many our lazy like my Americans embassy.

I used A&S. It was a bit expensive but who else going to get you retirement visa with non O 90 days and one year extension, 2 stamps in less than 4 hours. Well worth the money. They deposit the 0 for you and straight to the head of line at immigration. And we'll open bank acct for you and you can get a sim card at airport for 30 days to use for immigration and than get a phone acct anywhere after your stamps. Easy peezy

@Randy *****

amen to that.
