Emigrate to the 3d world?
Thailand, a 3d world (emerging nation). You do not emmigrate to Thailand, you apply for extension of stay visa. It has to be renewed (at a cost) [U]Every Year[U].In addition you have to make a report to immgration every 90 days, this used to be in person but you can now do by post. Woe betide you if you are late, £8 per day fine for every day over. There are two basic ways to live in Thailand, Retire, (min age 50) or marry a Thai. In both cases you have to prove annual money comming into a Thai bank, either pension or lump sum, for a retiree the sum is approx £12,000 p.a. This is 4or5 times the average Thais sallary. This money has had to sit in your bank 3 months before you make your application, to ensure that you dont borrow it or send it back to your own country. The money rule is so that you are not a burden on the state! There is no NHS, no social security, and unless you work for the government no pension. So figure that one out. What if you have won a couple of million on the lottery? No provision for this, get a tourist visa (30 days) and run to a border on the 30th day and get another 30 days. After you have done this 3 times (90 days) you have to leave the country for 180 days then start all over again.Why would you live here? Diesel is still less than £1 a gallon!!!!!!!!

Originally posted by beaufighterIt would take more than Deisel at less than a pound a gallon to get me to live there. No disrespect but I like to have all mod cons at hand so to speak. I've always fancied the states and in particular New England which was one of the best places I have ever been to. I like the restrictions on who and how they take them though. Britain is and probably will be run by fools who know that as soon as things become too tough then they will be in a position to leave.
Oh and ale is 50p per litre too
