Steve Bilbong he's absolutely blessed with me as a daughter 😂 I've been over to Pattaya myself solo to spend a week with him so I'm under no illusions hahaha.

He's done his bit, we are all grown up now, so happy for him to enjoy himself 😄

So if he's good for the 40 - 50k baht fee then he can get a visa sorted and it won't matter that he doesnt have the £1500 a month income, or health insurance?

Thank you for replying ☺️

sorry i was being too vague 🙈 Yes i know the agents cover the 800k baht issue.

What i need to know is, will they magically be able to also skirt over the fact that he doesn't meet the £1500 a month income and the health insurance?

He's an absolute pecker for not having insurance and I hate to be on here being 'one of those people' asking how to take the piss.

Just i need to know if he's able to sort it for a fee, or if he's not actually aware of new updates etc.

Thanks and sorry for the stupid, annoying posts 🙈😂

Also can you imagine the conversation. "Hi there Embassy people. My dad is trying to stay in your country in a non above board manner. Can you please advise how best to get around your countries laws and regulations?"

I know it's a joke, I don't approve either, but he's my dad so 🤷

@John *********

thank you 🙂

He'd previously renewed his old retirement visa several times with help from an agent for the 800k in the bank bit.

What I really need to find out is, can an agent help with covering the requirement of £1500 a month income?

Also can an agent help with covering the health insurance requirement?

I absolutely appreciate this is a ridiculous question, he's hanging on to something he can no longer afford AND he's an idiot for not having health insurance.

Just he's coming home for a bit and is absolutely convinced he can go back to Thailand at the end of the year and wriggle around all of the above with the help of an agent

Peter Riley honestly I say he can't afford health insurance. The truth is he's never had health insurance the entire time he's been there. Also I've no idea how much it even is

Benjamin Peter I don't disagree with you

Peter Riley he's been there for 6 years full time, 8 years in total and he's never had health insurance. Honestly don't know how he's got away with it legally. Also from a safety point 😅

Scott Kufus we did last year for 6 months 😂 Kept, fed and watered. Now a few months later we are back to the same scenario because he's got back to Thailand and found the visa price has changed apparently.

I'm all for team effort but I'm not looking after him for 6 months out of every year so he can fund sangsom and shagging all winter 😂😂

Nick Cartwright you are 100% correct. He has spent 73 years winging it and failing to plan anything. He's not going to change either unfortunately. Hence me on here sorting 💩 out. Ideally I'd like to be able to confirm He's no chance of staying 😆

Night Rider I completely agree with you, unfortunately my dad thinks he's invincible and will last forever. What I'd really like to hear is everyone saying it can't be done so he can admit defeat and come home and watch bargain hunt 😂
