But i just bought a house and I like it here.

Why I will never buy property here.

Just isn't worth it.

At any moment I could be kicked out. At least with a motorbike I can sell it.

If you haven't got 40k a month to live on out here then you are really up shit creek aren't you.

I have heard of foreigners supporting themsleves out here on 15k a month when they are retired but that is a fucking joke.

^You can't sell houses?

**BillyZ** · 04-10-2006, 05:46 PM

Man...I'm glad that I got my Residency Permit when I did! Three more years and I can apply for citizenship. Hopefully, they won't re-think that, too. Though, in MY case, they may just very well do, haha.

It seems that if we had all of this info, actual law rather than speculation, pinned at the top of William's Legal Section or somewhere like that, then we wouldn't need this whole threat. I mean, we're speculating on a bunch of stuff here. A lot of it is good advice. Some of it is not.

**mrsquirrel** · 04-10-2006, 05:48 PM

I can sell a motorbike nice and easy.

A house is a bit more difficult.

Even more difficult when the government has taken the land away from you and said it's theirs

I have a pdf of the announcement, but it is in Thai

**dirtydog** · 04-10-2006, 06:34 PM

You can get married on any visa you want, you will then have to go abroad to change that visa to a non o visa and then you can apply for your yearly if you so wish or you could just get a non o multi valid for 1 year, for the yearly you need the usual dosh requirements, they aint gonna enforce a monthly only requirement cos you could have only been here 1 month and only have to show the 40k baht income for that month, that I believe will not change as most people get their dosh sent over every 4 months or more due to the cost of money transfers and the worry of it going astray.

I want to marry my Thai wife in Thailand. Is there any requirement as to type of visa I should hold.

Why would you want to marry your wife?

But on the off chance that you meant marry your gf - no, you don't need any sort of visa - head examined, yes.

You will need proof that you are entitled to marry, that is, divorce papers or a signed affadvit that you have never been married and you will have to get this from your own embassy.

Probably some sort of Muslim one that allows you to get married to loads of women.

You need to take some sort of proof, to the embassy of Thailand if you're stationed abroad, that you're attached to a Thai lady such as monthly phone bills that would prove you are in communication with her. This will get you a non O visa without marriage.

Can you marrry more than one woman here in Thailand if you're Muslim? If so I'll convert................

Nah, I can't live by the other rules. I smoke, drink,use whatever Gods' name in vain and still look at other women. I'm going to hell or at least heck for sure. I can live with that.

So, if you are here on a tourist visa, you will need to get a Non-Imm 'O' before you can get married? Can they change your type of visa at an immigration office like they do if you get a job after entering Thailand on a tourist visa/VOA?

You can get married while on a tourist visa. I just did so 3 May 2006. I got my 90-day O visa in Laos on the 13th of September 2006. Sometime in November (next month) I will go for the one year extension. I will post and let all know how that goes.

Heck, I think I could get closer to the Mormon side, maybe I should check that out. I guess you can say you are "whatever" religion and get away with it.

At leeast the PC guys will let me slide.

Hey Spliff dont listen to these anti marry guys it just because they havent found a decent bird yet. I see you are in Khon Kaen do you drink at erics bar much.

**Sir Burr** · 21-10-2006, 02:04 PM

Eric's half bar?

**Propagator** · 22-10-2006, 01:25 AM

A good description Sir Burr

Friendly place though

**Bobk_nyc** · 22-10-2006, 02:08 AM

I guess if you only stay 90 days, and go to a different country for 180 days, none of this matters.

**BillyZ** · 22-10-2006, 11:07 AM

^That's what it sounds like.

diaw · 22-10-2006, 11:16 AM

wife in LOS - 3 months,
wife in Laos - 3 months

repeat cycle... if visas become a problem, get another wife in Malaysia...

This has definite potential...

**Bobk_nyc** · 22-10-2006, 01:00 PM

I also like Costa Rica, San Jose, has very nice weather, at times.
