don’t do that, wait your turn to get off the plane. First class gets off first.

I’d save every last penny you can, save it all spend almost nothing in the states while you are there. And focus your energy on a career that pays you in USD but you can work remote in Thailand. 6 years is plenty to figure that out, but they will want you to have income, even if you have a million saved, they will be more focused on you Atleast making 1600 ish USD a month.

damn sounds like a pain in the arse. Yeah I gotcha, I just figure after doing it for 10-15 years it would be simplified for some.

what ever word you wish to use, but what would be the reason on them forbidding you?

@Andy ***********

they will not let you renew eventually? Reasons?

you guys can lease land, which also isn’t ideal, I would think you would be paying top $ for the lease as a foreigner. you can buy business’s/condominiums, on the land but also in that case you don’t own the land, it’s easier for you guys to conduct businesses here but end result is still not owning any land.

My Thai partner gets me great deals on rentals so untill we marry and we want to build, that’s the route I’ll go

You can only buy condo’s as a foreigner, even with retirement status. Unless I’m wrong. I hear that’s not ideal if you want to sell it later on. So finding a nice woman here that you love and trust is the best choice. As all land purchases have to go through her.
