private group, but I know of 2 here who make screenshots and snitch on people they don't like to try to intimidate them.

@Ruud ******

Fixed it, this should work then :

If you are Dutch, you also have the option of non-immigrant O-X for 10 years instead of LTR.

In my opinion, the yearly extension of non-O based on over 50 (retirement) is still much better value than either LTR or O-X. But maybe you could find it worth it - only you can decide what is best for you :

-non-–-immigrant-visa-“o-x”-(long-stay-10-years)

@Todd ********

As we all know, div 1 has never heard about your special deal. So we're still waiting for your answer in this visa "advice" group, after more than half a year already. But as you admitted earlier : not a clue. (See previous screenshot).

See you again in a few months as usual.

@Todd ********

So if not by bribery, what method did you personally use to circumvent the financial regulations ? Teach us something... Why did your passport had to go all the way up North instead of being handled at Koh Samui ? Sure there is a reasonable explanation. I must have been mistaken, therefore I humbly ask your specific method.

@Todd ********

Can't back up your arguments, so Mr "I don't have a clue by his own admission" has to resort to feeble threats ? Priceless.... 🤣

You're the one suggesting circumventing official rules. Unless your method is official, in which case you can provide a link.

@Todd ********

don't forget to delete everything. Wonder why you have to send your passport to the North..

@Russell ******

Exactly, but everything is about correct information so that each can make an informed decision. Todd is just plainly lying when claiming it is legal. It is not. Just saying "you can get around official requirements by letting an agent take care of it" would be enough. But claiming everything is legal and one is stupid for not using that option is blatant misinformation.

@Todd ********

Just need a link to the procedure which doesn't exist. Paste and post, 1 minute work to prove your procedure which doesn't exist legally.

Weirdly my close friend working at div 1 immigration also says it's just plain bribery, there is no legal way to circumvent the financial requirements.

@Todd ********

you don't need an agent if it's legal.. just point all of us to the procedure..

Anything legal can be done with or without an agent. But bribing should indeed be done through an agent.

But you yourself admitted once you have no clue how the agent does it, which explains why you never once answered the procedure, and so how would you then claim that you know it's legal if you have no clue (by your own admission) ? The simple test of legality is : tell us the procedure how to do it ourselves.

And why does your paperwork has to be sent to the an immigration office in the North instead of where you reside ? Your own office can't do it ?
