  1. You are a good man for doing this for your child.
  2. There is a very easy way to find this, Simply copy the quote , and paste it in google, Though I agree with you, a link would have been helpful. I did the copy and paste thing and below is the link. https://www.ojp.gov/library/publications/comparing-crime-rates-between-undocumented-immigrants-legal-immigrants-and
  3. Italian women are some of the most beautiful women in the world. But I don't doubt your report. It's a shame that in a country full of beautiful women that's all you could get. But at least you got something, so that's a start.
  4. They might had been high, but not on weed. As far as i know weed has the opposite effect.
  5. No raw nerve, in fact no nerve at all. Whenever I am being sarcastic, or cheeky which is almost always I use the tongue in cheek emoji as above. But I see your point and retract my statement . I should had seen who you were replying too and the context. My appologies !! you sir are a scholar and a gentleman
  6. also , on a Marriage extension , if one wanted to work on a foreigner allowed trade, one could, where or a retirement visa you can not work.
  7. Don't want to get on a pissing contest with you over who has more money . I would not call it cheap, I would call it frugal, I did not get where I am by blowing my money on laziness, My funds earn 5.3% FDIC insured in the US , but hey if you like to have it here for what? .000003% sure, you know what they say about a fool and his money. I also wait to see your reaction when you have to pay tax on these funds, you so liberally squander,
  8. Two years ago I was able to secure a Greek passport. We spend summers there and love it but hated the bureaucracy. They have a similar , foreign income system, and we did not make the move because I did not want to have to move our home, (we are settled here) , prove source of income, and do yearly tax returns. And Greece has many advantages over Thailand. I speak passable Greek, everyone speaks English . , we both qualify for the national health insurance system for a small yearly fee, have access to the whole EU , No visas, no 90 day reporting, and gyros , glorious Gyros Anyway if Thailand's system becomes just as bothersome as Greece's, We might have to reconsider our options .
  9. That's true. As I said, I now do my extension in advance to give me the time to react to any peculiarities
  10. First let me say that I am not an expert in this subject, but I also do an extension based on Marriage, in fact I got mine last week (Khon Kaen) , we don't use an agent, we do it ourselves, it is easy, especially after you do your first one. I have never provided a monthly statement. In fact last year there was a confusion in my bank deposit. We had recently bought an investment property and some how, (wife was handling the finances) the account fell below the 400k two weeks before I was due to do the extension, so I told the IO . then lets do the monthly income method. He said , do don't worry just come back in two weeks when the funds are seasoned and we will do an overstay. I express concerns about reproductions , he said not to worry the is the one who handles the issue and no problem,, so two weeks later I paid a small overstay fine and was good to go. IMO the 2 month seasoning period for the 400k is so that someone who just came to thailand to be with his wife, would have enough time to season the funds before he need to do an extension. Requiring a whole years deposit would eliminate that option, and no one would be able to do their first extension because no one would be able to open an account and stay here for a year to have a years worth of deposits. There must be some confusion, either on your part ot the agents part. I am sure they have a form but it could be the form nessacery to do the income option. This year I did my extension a month before the due date. I think you can do it 45 days before, It gives you the time to resolve any issues before your due date Good luck, I am interested to find out how it worked out for you, so please follow up after your visit.
  11. I don't think this is true, because you are only required to have the 400k in the bank 2 or three months, I think it is 2 but I am not sure because I keep mine there year round. Anyway , a monthly income would require a year long statement, and would prevent those who have been here less than a year from getting an extension,
  12. They claim to provide security, not to make the place totally secure, or provide insurance against theft. They will not pay for your electrical cable, because if they do , they will establish precedent and could be responsible for all thefts.
  13. I was wondering the same, and would like some items to decorate the house. I have not seen anything interesting in Khon Kaen. We plan to take a ride to Bangkok one of these days, I an sure there must be a lot there, I have not been to Chatuchak market in years so I don't know if they still do, but when I was there last, I saw a lot of what I thought was interesting.
