Re: Ask Degen Anything About Living In Thailand
[ QUOTE ]
Do you guys know if it is possible to buy a 5 year visa or something like that? [/ QUOTE ] I think there are lots of western countries where you can get a 1 year visa. Like the UK, probably Australia (where I'm from), but it might need to be your home country. If money is no object (ie like trying to buy a 5-yr visa), then going to ur home country to get a new yearly each year is probably not a bad bet (tho someewhat expensive for me when I don't even wanna go back there just for a visa). There is also permanent residency which is like 5k USD or something but you have to have lived here on 1-yearly visas for a few years first. |

Re: Ask Degen Anything About Living In Thailand
I think they did away with that visa or were trying to. Besides why spend 1 million baht on a visa when you can spend 5,000 baht every 3 months to fly to Singapore or Hong Kong for the weekend?
I will be flying back to Bangkok sometimes in about 6-8 weeks and need a place to stay. Im looking for a 2 bedroom place around the BTS. I prefer the Rachadamri / Sathorn / Silom area. Can anybody currently staying in this general area chime in on what they are paying. Previously I paid 25k a month for a 1 bedroom in a condo behing the Four Seasons but I want to look around a bit more this time and find something a little different. |

Or you can spend 20% of that and go back to your home country once a year and get a yearly visa. |

Re: Ask Degen Anything About Living In Thailand
If you want to stay in Thailand for 12 months without having to leave then signup at one of the bigger language schools for a 1 year program. It will cost about 30,000 baht and you will get 3 sessions a week each about 3 hours.
You dont actually have to goto class though once you have your visa. So pay the 30k for the visa and then your home free. |
