Thais know exactly what foreigners are trying to do in getting long-term education and tourist visas. If you want to live in the country, you really need to do things legally. The days of old are pretty much gone. ...............

If you're on an education visa you need to go to the class. You do know that if you just pay for an education visa and blow it off that in doing so you could be deported? Some of the schools will report you if you don't go. You have to pay for the tuition and it helps to know Thai so why ask for trouble? Why not just go to class? It's only like 4 hours a week!
This is exactly why I had not viewed the education visa as a good path. Increasing hassle.

But four hours a week - is great news. I had no idea it was such a small time commitment. I was expecting ot to be about 20 hours a week like a normal total-immersion language school.

So education visa can be done for three years straight wothout leaving (if legitimately atttending class)? Excellent!

This sounds like you'te talking about citizenship, not residency. The ceremony where you swear allegiance to the king.

You'll receive a 6 month multiple entry tourist visa. ......Anyhow, you come back to Thailand, at the end of the two months, go to immigration and get a 30-day extension. At the end of that 30 days, you need to do a visa run.
So you get a 6 month visa but have to leave in 90 days? Not impressive.

By old style do you mean a tunnel or chamber-like radiation scanner where you stand still, or do you mean the simple rectangular-pipe metal detector that you just walk straight through - which has been in use since the 1970's?

Visa runs can be a hassle if you let them be or if you have no other choice. As I said, if you have the funds and the proper documents, a visa that allows you to stay for a year is relatively straightforward and easy. Obviously the Thai government does not want perpetual tourists (although it is still fairly easy to be one IMO).

Residency is set at 100 permits per year per nationality. Residency can be obtained after 3 years, citizenship is after 10.

Rectangular, walk-through type metal detectors.

THANKS FOR THE INFO!

They did buy Michael Chertoff's radiation scanners. And not using them! This has happened in many places. Countries must be under U.S. pressure to buy them, but then don't see the point in annoying or irradiating travelers.

Anyway, thanks to your info on education visa and no radiation at airports - Thailand is definitely back on the menu.

Thanks again.

Im in China right now due to a internship I have.

Here is something I have heard and know about getting even permanent residence or citizenship in china. I know there are foreigners who love china a lot, they want to live there. But here is the truth:

Getting PR is already hard- I know that china is overpopulated, they have more people then they could handle. So unless they made a special or special contribution to China, its not likely to happen. Best is a business or working visa which is renewable.

Citizenship- almost impossible for a foreigner unless very extraordinary contribution. Otherwise there aren't any benefits to getting that except not being hassled by the border or immigration.

I was with you up until the Holocaust part. That's hilarious, Ladislav. I see the connection.
Jews lived as non citizens in European countries for centuries if not millenia.

Kissinger and Einstein are "Germans" to Americans only.

Plus a European's eye can spot a Jew by looking at him, an American's eye usually cannot. Jews look 'white' and fall into the Caucasian category.

Many of these countries offered Jews citizenship if they would convert. No conversion, no citizenship. Born there or not. A dog born in the stables is not a horse. That is why they lived in ghettos and were kicked out of country after country. Countries do not expel citizens. Jews got expelled. Gypsies also were not citizens. They were born in all these countries but they live in caravans plus nationality has nothing with birthplace in Europe. The gypsies do not recognize all these nation states and they are just gypsies.
When Jews got to these former British empire countries this is when they were able to get citizenship because of birth citizenship laws. And even gypsies who were in the US could now call themselves Americans. None of that would have been possible in Europe.
So we HA-ers are the new gypsies....

Nice tip.

So you're doing a voluntary "visa run"?

Do you keep your same ID as you leave and return?

And I'd love to find a foreign country where I could start doing the same business. But I doubt there's a country that would give me residence just to do my flier service. Right? If there is, let me know!

Paraguay. Nowhere else can you start with no capital, legally do the work yourself, compete with locals, and be a legal resident.

Healthy economy too.

But don't you need to show you have enough investment capitol?
If you can design fliers for OTHERS to distribute, and sell this design service ONLINE, and build it to a little over $1000 a month, Germany will welcome you.

OR -- Around $1500 a month ONLINE needed to do get residency in Mexico. Once you get there, the actual flier distribution would have to be done off the books, for cash, till you could go thru hoops to make it legal, with employees doing the work.

OR -- Latin countries and probably others would let you distribute fliers locally, but they DO require various investment capital amounts, plus incorporation and tax filing, and you have to hire employees right away, and you can't run the fliers yourself.

Best place, with no restrictions, would be Paraguay.

I just read through this thread. It is too bad we don't have discussion topics similar to this anymore.

CE was still posting great content and now he's gone because of bad moderation.

if you're rich.....

long term residency requirments are alot harder and bringing a woman over here is impossible,especially from 'cheaper'countries.

so people are taking vacations like theyve always been doing only now for sex which will ruin the market because niggers had to create passport broism.

What means rich. $1,000 month is not rich even in mid income country and $2,000 is not rich too. But passport brother expat can live south america towns in argentina or equator or colombia or south east asia vietnam or thailand cambodia and can get visa for digit nomad or migrate every 6 month for english work in china and japan part of time or work online and nowadays some russia and ukraine people live thailand make small business earn over $1,000 yet living on $600 per month with healthy market foods. Even indian and africa people find ways to move better places and make businesses. More work is online than before and japan even opened a new cheap airline zip. There is a saying that is where there is will there is way and now is more ways than when happy abroad website started.
