    Not at all. I got my visa without having to show any bank balances, home ownership papers etc . . .

    Nothing except for a document signed by my wife saying she can be held financially responsible for me should I amass debts and do a runner. My ensuing employment pass required a letter from the hiring company . . . in this case being my own and signed by my partner.

    Thailand is a shocker compared . . . when I think back at the rigmaroles in Thailand . . . like chalk and cheese

    Find an employer that has a decent HR dept and there will be no hoops to jump through, only time ive had to deal with anything to do with Thai bureaucracy is a leisurely drive into BKK to sign the processed documents.

    Sadly, some of us don't have that luxury, and will forever be performing monkeys jumping through hoops with only ourselves as masters of our own destiny.

    I had all of those wonderful cushions when I worked in China...simply hand in the passport and voilla..everything done.

    But here, everything is off my own back, I have no help.. the wife is as much use as a chocolate teapot, i get more sense out of the 8 year old!

    It appears it will always be THE WHITE MAN's BURDEN!

    Well after forging a marriage certificate and bribing two neighbors to say that you both live in the same house, sitting on the bed together for 5 seconds is hardly a difficult task.
    Thats the thing Thetters, it would be little problem to fabricate the various documents and requirements.
    The bank letter, marriage certificate, hiring a couple of local handymen to verify yr "Marital" situation, all easily forge-able & doable.
    I used my genuine Australian marriage cert, but I could have easily knocked something together that would have passed.
    The immigration guys only concern was that my marriage certificate didn't have the Garuda symbol on it.

    I could have easily "hired" a wife as few guys around here have done.
    One guy when visited by the confirmers said "wife is working now" so gave them her number where they rang her at the bar she was working at.

    Haven't looked at that in a few years. They certainly have it bollocks up.

    My sympathies to those who have to endure the annual grovel fest and local uniform clad bureaucrats.. Thankfully, I don't.

    Not applicable to the retired nor is their residency permit as you have to have paid tax to the buggers for three years, so it's grovel or keep going home every 15 months for another visa with 90 days outings to some shitty outpost on the border, none very nice the older you get.

    So how may I ask do you bypass this cataclysm of mayhem? Have you too much money...you don't get an extension for a big cock or good looks! What is your secret...not a BOI job is it?

    I read that there was a visa for an over 50 supporting a Thai child, where the "money in the bank" was discretional...so we all know what that means!...but has anyone managed to get this visa?

    Apparently, if you had 100K it was deemed enough...but is this just the usual bullshit?

    You know, I can jump a hoop or two, but the thing that makes me so fucking angry here is after you do all your paperwork, like fucking Lassie the faithfull dog, they then send you into the [at][at][at][at] ROOM, where the [at][at][at][at] sits like a fucking KING, and when we went in IT was sitting in a vest! a dirty white vest...and IT spent most of ITS time humiliating ITS OWN STAFF! Talking to them like DOGS..WOOF FUCKING WOOF!!

    Then the [at][at][at][at] gets up, and the [at][at][at][at] puts on ITS uniform, the [at][at][at][at] undoes ITS belt and drops ITS trousers, and then the [at][at][at][at] tucks ITS shirt in...then sits down to question HUMANS!!!! And this [at][at][at][at] can JUDGE ME AS FIT TO STAY HERE....[at][at][at][at]!

    Isn't it about time that we got back to the British Empire, and the United States and fucking took these second rate countries over...instill a decent government rid them of their corruption.. made them serviant to US for a fucking change! Teach these fuckers a lesson.. don't fuck with the WHITE MAN! (Sadly - that doesn't seem to happen in our homelands..we are overun with shit.. and we put up with it.. in fact no, we lie down to it like dogs! and we come here to a third world country and take everything we get on the nose! The End Of Civilisation!

    What the fuck is wrong? We are Aliens at home!

    ^^^ After doing the "paperwork" I don't get sent into a little room etc etc. The head honcho sit behind the subordinates and signs the paperwork and gives it back to put the stamp in my passport. Each office has it's own way of working.

    Over 20 years of dealing with immigration coupled with friends in high places does the trick. Farang or Thai, the friends in high places bit is the key.
