Residency In Costa Rica..

[BillyWaltersJr+]

Actually Thailand gives out 30 day visas...at the end of 30 days you can make a visa run to any country ouside Thailand (usually Cambodia or Laos) and get your passport stamped and return the same day...you can do this only 3 times a year and it is STRICTLY ENFORCED...a senior citizen which is anyone over 50, can apply for a visa prior to arriving in Thailand and get one for a full year...so long as you have money in a Thai bank, I think minimum is 20,000 bucks but you can pull it out at anytime you want...

I agree that Costa Rica will come to its senses and will adjust their thinking...too late for me since I will be leaving in March for 9 months and return to Costa Rica again in January of 2010...

If you have 30,000 baht to spare, a 1 year ED visa can be pretty easily obtained. And let's just say you never need to show up for any of the classes.

Several companies do this throughout Thailand.

unaminously passed, rentistas and pensionados must
show 5000 a month income-hasn't become law yet, but
legislature passed the change.

Again and Again Costa Rica is doing things ass backwards...if you want to become a resident of this beautiful country, you must prove a monthly income of 2000 dollars, up from 600...I don't know of anyone here that qualifies, since most Americans average around 1100 per month.....

Huh? I can prove an income of 10,000 a month--AFTER taxes. Think maybe your numbers are off just a bit...

Err Americans average $1100/mo?

Or is that a social security thing...

My bad on the last post; should have read the whole thread before commenting...:think2:
