Albania for up to a year if you have a usa passport or you could essentially have automatic pr status in oman if you buy a condo in designated area. Loved living there for 6 years.

my plan also. Set it and forget it. Separate account for my daily spending

I entered Thailand on 6 month multiple entry tourist visa. This allows you to stay 60 days each time you enter (but you can ask for 30 day extension each time you enter Thailand when you get close to end of 60 days ). This might be your best option to consider since you won’t be living here full-time.

Thanks! A few months ago I got a fixed account for the 800k thb and opened a separate account for my daily spending. Happy to see that this might add some ease.

same. Trying to avoid usa also 😀

I left Thailand in Feb 2024 for a weekend and was able to do my 90day report online May 2024. Krabi province.

I felt the same way when I taught in the USA public schools. Teaching at intl schools in Oman and Singapore changed my life.

@Sarah *******

depends. My plan b was to stop teaching in the usa and teach math at intl schools and choosing contracts that would help me save lots of money. Oman had 0 tax and Singapore rate ran me 8%. Both teaching jobs also gave plenty of money for rent. Search associates has a great database with data from intl schools and with a little research, you can find teaching jobs that pay well enough to fund a good retirement. Because I made less than 120k usd per year, I had to file taxes back to the usa but owed zero for my situation.

I also worked enough in the usa before my move that I will get a decent ss payment to fund my life in Thailand.

I lived there 2012-2016 and 2021-2023 so during the current sultan and the previous sultan’s reign.

I don’t drink alcohol so I guess that is why I never noticed the trend you are mentioning. I hung out with Christians and Muslims and Hindus and feelings of religious persecutions never came up in our conversations but maybe that was just my specific bubble of expats and locals.

My friends who did drink tended to just go to the western hotels or drank at each other’s houses. Just had to watch their allotment for buying alcohol based on their alcohol license.

I am just amazed at how much Andrew is willing to teach for free!!
