I am on marriage visa. DIY not agent. It was a big pain, but as people say it's a bit different at every office. For us it was critical to make friends with one of the officers and that was difficult because he had been a dick to me previously. But we got through it. My understand is that the monthly income option is only available after the first year. So you probably will need to use an agent or pay a bribe to get the initial visa then use your pension to maintain it in subsequent years. Feel free to PM me.

FFS there are hundreds? Well I guess it was smart to ask a group of people who travel which ones they've had success with so I don't need to waste my time for weeks right? You ask if I've heard of Google- have you heard of f$&k off you useless tw@t? It's what you do when you only have inane and unproductive things to comment. I hope you see this in the next minute because then I will block you and make my little corner of the world better. Have fun in Pattaya jackass.

hmmm are there some airlines that only sell through resellers? That would explain why sometimes flights are missing when I use it

I regularly have problems where Google flights can't find the same flights I get through other sources.

in appreciate that. I think the are valid reasons to do it, but most of the cats in here are definitely thinking of their future ex wife with these strategies.

I haven't met with a lawyer on it yet. I always find it funny when people refer me to western lawyer here since that is one of the protected professions. Why would I trust them to deal straight with me when they are already bucking the system. It's like marrying a lady that you had an affair with.

Anyway, loosely my plan is to try to encumber the land with debt (to me) to prevent some farmer relative from borrowing money against it. Because they don't seem to have the concept of title searches and insurance here I don't know if I can get enough protection in place, but I'll try. I'm not worried about me losing the house. It is for THEM. I'm just worried about them losing it due to lack of financial sophistication. We actually have a business and so I think we might be able to legally have the business own the house- but I've heard maintaining that setup is a bit pricey and I'm relatively poor.

@Michael *******
is alright, mostly I can tune it out at this point. These big groups are full of people that confuse Pattaya for Thailand and the pub for real life.
