@Zoe *****

are you always this level of stupid and arrogant. Come out with a post that ignorant and you should expect to get slapped around a bit. No big deal

You will have no issues. That's what tourism looks like

@Zoe *****

No it doesn't involve any level of irresponsbility. Never has and never will. And it's personal choice. So move on and take your moral superiority bullshit with you. The world doesn't need it.

Irresponsible lol??! Settle down. Giving your kids the experience of a lifetime by coming. Doing less and staying at home… that’s more irresponsible. And the DTV opens a whole new gateway for people under 50

@Bipin ******

I will say this. Mine was not, and never has been in a savings account. Approved

@Chris **********

it’s an amazingly easy process overall. Online application is straightforward. Prove the income and get the visa

@Guillermo ********

you definitely hope you do, but realistically, you have no chance. Stressful lol? I have residency in 3 nations, not my own. And you are clearly having struggles that the stupid tend to face with visas. Nothing new. Oh geez lol. Have a look at you 😂😂 you sounded just young and naive. But actually well settled into middle age. Congrats on living that long!

I could never never have guessed you are new to this forum. You seem so knowledgeable. 😂

Oh good, a failed American and wanna be nomad. Well done- that’s so sweet. You are trying hard. Your parents must be so proud. And I’m so happy you managed to get the tourist visa you needed. It’s not like you could afford the travel anymore. Maybe find a nice little rental in Issan and see how it goes. Good luck you will need it dip💩

@Guillermo ********

being younger than I doesn’t necessarily make you a stupid, wanna be American. But acting that way makes just might. Funny stuff. Dial it down my little vaquero.

Ok, my boy, you don’t understand global visas and how they work. Or the Thai system. Nothing wrong with being young and naive. Which boat did you catch to get over here?

‘YOU’ ( a lost and simple lad) can’t ‘guarantee’ a goddamn thing here. ‘Checks’ you say? You don’t even understand the system. ‘Not a permanent visa’ lol. Thx for the tip son. You realize 5 years is not permanent right?

The PROPER VISA for anyone under 50 wanting to live in Thailand for the next 5 years is the DTV. Its dirt cheap and anyone can get it.

Here is some big advice… you don’t have a clue. I’m quite well aware of the game and how to effectively play it. If you look on the map of life 5000 miles ahead of you, you will see me. Good luck son, you are gonna need it

@Guillermo ********

you can disagree all you want. But it won’t change a thing. And I don’t need to go to immigration to prove you wrong lol. It’s no secret you are wrong.

We agree it’s a tourist visa. That also allows 5 years of residency…. Not exactly ‘tourism’ at that point is it?

It has NOTHING at all to do with wanting to learn Thai. Language students are not eligible. Dont be ridiculous.

‘You would get a bank account’. This is basically an IQ test for DTV holders. You cannot walk into a bank and get an account with your visa. People with problem solving ability sort this out quickly, others never will.

@Pete ******
