A type 'O' non-immigrant visa is not a tourist visa.

Don't try applying using DiscoverThainature at London's Embassy, from what I've heard it will not be accepted. That came from one of the Thai businesses that runs these seminars.

I drove in Thailand for eleven years and when I was stopped on motorbike for roadside checks, produced my old British tatty bit of paper. Only ever once asked why I didn't have a photo id type licence, but nothing said.

Well that's easy to get round. Go to your local immigration office and ask for a list of their requirements lol

All this gibberish reminds me of a line of soldiers on parade and the soldier at one end of the line says lend me 3 & 4 pence to go to a dance, by the time it gets to the last soldier at the other end of the parade, it's changed to send reinforcements were going to advance 😂😂😂

@Dany *******

According to this link when you open the PDF. Second paragraph states any income earned. If that is correct then a state pension, which is not earned, but as in the UK is an entitlement surely this isn't classed as earned income?

With respect Gary I think you'll find it almost impossible to relocate to Thailand with so many cats. I admire your devotion to them.

Anonymous participant 373 Shouldn't take your out of work problems with you to work. Not professional.

Probably brought his domestic dispute to work with him and taking it out on visitors.

My Thai friend has fourteen chihuahuas and a British bulldog, but he has a large gated and walled village type house, so the dogs can't get out to mix with soi dogs. With cats unless you kept them in a very large fencing type of secure area then for sure you'd have a big problem with kittens, plus there is rabies in Thailand, but how prevalent it is, is an unknown.
