really? And you came to FB to ask completely unqualified strangers for advice...🤦

Lots of helpful info from others, but if you are going to be living in a foreign country, you should learn to do some research on your own first. How to get a one year visa and what visas you are qualified for are some of the most commonly found answers everywhere online. Really seems like you haven't put in any effort to do any research. Good luck living in a foreign country. 🤦

You really put a lot of faith in all the FB strangers for legal advice...

there is a yearly renewal fee if you don't leave the country and get re-stamped.

You can stay as long as your visa is good til/paid for. You do have to renew it every year, either by exiting the country or paying a fee.

I get it, you are moving to Thailand for a reason right? I love Taiwan for visits but I'm sure it's far from perfect, especially for people who have lived there long term.

I don't have any advice, just want to say I love Taiwan ❤️

Have you guys visited Thailand before? You are planning to move in the next few months but seem clueless about visas as well as long term rentals. FB groups are a great starting point to ask those questions but you most likely won't get all your visas done within a month or two to be able to live here long term. Even if you have the $$$ for the elite visas, it still takes about 3 months for approval. Same as ed visas, it takes time to get approved. Long term rentals are best done on the ground, you need to be in the city you want to live in to talk with real estate agents and visit properties if you don't want to be scammed. Long term rentals are usually for one year or more. You could come visa free for a few months with extensions to get a feel of the country before making the big decision. Thailand is not the easiest country to live in long term unless you meet certain requirements or can afford an elite visa.

one year is not worth buying an elite visa!!!

my husband and I are both artists, so we do have lots of art and reference books which are very valuable to us. We've been living overseas in different countries for 5+ years and always managed to at least bring our books with us. I was very happy with Asian Tigers's service. Feel free to message me if you have other questions.
