I'll preface it by saying I don't know for sure. However, I was doing a lot of research on it yesterday and today and it depends on what country you're from. Some countries need a background police check but many do not. I was going to do an Non-Immigrant O Visa but now I'm thinking about doing a education visa and I'm 66. I found a school down near Asoke. They handle all the paperwork to get the agreement with the ministry of education and then will give that to you and you go to immigration with the required photos and other paperwork. So I'll pass what I know on but I'm sure somebody will correct me.

Sorry I guess I didn't make myself totally clear but I was talking about marrying a Thai lady. Not a US citizen. I saw that if the child is less than 16 there is no 5-year limit but I don't know for sure. Thanks.

most likely because you have a lot of deductions. But the US government does charge tax on social security and income over $25,000 per year. I wrote a check for $4,000 this year and my tax rate came out to 10%. No, I didn't like writing the check but that's the rules. You take money out of your retirement account and it's over $25,000. You're going to pay tax on it. It's not going to change so you might as well just get used to it.

What was that big deal but leaving Bangkok headed for bkk airport I paid for the whole trip but all he gave me was a black token. So I got scammed for a little bit of money but when he gave me the black token I knew something was weird about it, and should have said something. But I was in a hurry. Scammed into BTS station lol. The worst part was I had to wait for the whole line to go through before I finally put the token in. There's always one of us isn't there?

@Terary *********

if you use an agent to help you find your condo, will they help with those types of documents? Thanks for your comments.

thank you. Very good advice.

@Ruth ******

Ruth I plan to live in bangkok. At least for the first year. Probably Riverside area but I also like Sukumvitt.

I sent it via line. But I sent another request and look forward to talking to you

I actually have an application online for the E Visa for 60 days. But I'm trying to sell my motor coach and my Jeep and so I don't have a specific date yet.

My other issue is they want where you're going to be staying. My plan was to get a hotel for a week and then search for a condo one there how do I get around that?

Thanks.
