thanks Brandon,I can meet all the requirements ,I was going to apply for the non-O to arrive on,so I can open a bank account and extend to the retirement 1 year,if this is correct .my concern is I have a prison sentence from when I was 21 in the UK,I'm now 53 and my concern was if I needed a criminal background check for non -O but appears not ,I would also like to apply for it either in turkey or Egypt as I don't intend visiting the UK ππ½
yes correct ,not every Irishman is IRA and not every American a red neck of course ,but there are quite a lot of Russians moving suspect money for sure ,but there's also lots of decent Russians about as well ππ½
do what I did 11 yrs ago and stop watching the news ,they want you to live in fear to keep there business going ,Myanmar is a lovely tourist safe country and I love going there .The visa bounce is run by the Thais ,5 minutes speedboat ,immigration 100m walk ,they show you the way,take your passport ,stamp you in and out in one go,give it back with a smile ,it's there business that they are paid for ,so very safe .Don't listen to BBC,Myanmar is friendly and so interesting ,the temples as Bagan are great . ππ½
It's only usual in any country that has an influx of Russians moving in π nothing bias against Russians but there's always a large percentage of dodgy money stuff linked to them and there accounts ,theres one going problems also in Bali and Vietnam with them ππ½
I want to have my own bank account and not be tied into an agent ,at some point laws around agents could change and I want to do it all properly ,but much appreciated ππ½
ok I need to think as I didn't want to go to Ireland ,I just need to find the easiest way to open a bank account here to put the 800k to get the retirement visa ππ½thank you for your advice ππ½
I'm leaving Thailand in June to India,Egypt and Turkey ,I'm a Irish passport holder,can I apply in Istanbul at the Thai embassy for which visa ,so I can enter Thailand in October and open a bank account to transfer funds ?
ok,I'm returning to Thailand to stay in October ,I will get the retirement visa and stick the 800k in a bank ,is the best way to get the Non OA visa first to enable opening a bank account in Thailand for the deposit and progression to retirement visa ?
