I am planning to leave SA for Thailand, though being a bit worried about the “1 jahr only” on the retirement visa. isnt that a lot of hassle and lots of monies to renew it all the time? I am 49, should I rather go for the student visa? Since, I want to take my dog with me, I am really concerned that this permanet renewing of visa might not work out in the end.

Can someone give me some honest advise pls. Thank u Alex

It’s a good star though and the cheapest visa you can get that let’s you stay in the country for a year.”

If you are referring to the one year multi entry non immigration type “O” Visa (for volunteers, marriage and Business purposes) it actually lasts 15 months. If you do your border run the day before it expires you get an additional 90 days.

So if that’s what you decide to do you’ll need to leave the country and come back in, which you’ll have to do anyway if your on visa on arrival. it’s not a hassle go check out Loas to get it!

I found it good for a different reason, when you have lots of time for yourself what do you do with it? The book can help you find your answers.

Sun, 18 Mar 2012 06:15:37 +0000 http://www.livingthai.org/?page_id=238#comment-27932 ha ha fair call, why would i want to go back. mainly my expensive taste in fishing holidays, was thinking about going back for a couple of months each year to do some work and top the funds back up. plus to get a real fishing fix, im obsessed and i dont think the thai fishing scene is quite gonna cut it for me. as for doing something in thailand… well i obviously dont want a full time job, that defeats the purpose of my going there! but your right and i am worried about having too much spare time, especially as i love a beer or 3, and ive never been the type to just lay around the pool or beach all day. i’d go crazy. any suggestions, bearing in mind that i wouldn’t have a work visa and dont need to be earning any serious money but a bit extra would always help. even any non profit suggestions to occupy the ample spare time i will have.

If you left the school you would have to reapply, i don’t think that’s a problem at all but can be expensive. You really should find something to do here though you’ll get lazy if you don’t.

Sun, 18 Mar 2012 03:14:11 +0000 http://www.livingthai.org/?page_id=238#comment-27916 fair enough. hey if you get your ed visa, do you have to do it all in one hit, or can you go for a year then come back to aus and then still be granted your ed visa again? i actually wont be working at all while i’m there, well im not planning to anyway. do you think its possible for a 31 yr old to live over there having no work to do? im not talking financially, thats covered, just simply living over there with nothing to do except go fishing, play golf, travel and nail as much se asian pussy as possible? you live there, do you think i might have too much spare time to play with?
