News Forum - Thai police arrest six Chinese nationals in call centre fraud bust
Chinese?? Well I am astounded - it is so unlike the Chinses to be criminals. That reminds me - recently I was looking at all the uber wealthy rich families in Thailand - you know the ones that own just about everything between them - about 9 or so of them. I noticed that most of them have their 'ancestral homes' in China and their ancestors came to Thailand in early 20th century and the another wave after Mao took over. Someone once told me that the 'good' Chinese went to Taiwan, and the 'not so good' went to Thailand. Not sure if that is true at all. Asking for a friend. -

I wont argue at all - because mine was that way when in Chiang Mai and Rayong. However, that was not the case here in KK. In fact, because of all the additional and different rules they have here for annual renewals for Marriage, next year I am going to switch to Retirement - unless things change. Your current situation is great, but as I found out, there is no guarantee it will be that way in the future (they always change some rules here) - and it may not be that way if you ever change Provinces. Chiang Mai to Rayong was a change, but no problems - KK was insulting and difficult and unacceptable. One size does not fill all, as I found out the hard way in KK. 3 visits to Office, 2 visits to Bank, 3 Officers visited House, 2 Witnesses required in the house who both had to sign witness statements, Insufferable long 10 minute speech by General littledick (in Thai to the Wife and Witnesses), and a overwhelming desire to stand up and tell the little vagina that 'I bought this effin house and I spend over 1 million baht a year in this country - so eff off and get the eff out of my Wife's house you little ................ But because I cannot speak Thai and am older and have a lot more self control than when younger, I remained quiet and still and said nothing. And then I had to smile while they took a few photos - aarrgh! -

DTV & ..question..
The only financial requirements to move to and live in Australia are the provision of documents to show that you have the financial capability of supporting yourself when you arrive - ideally for at least 4 years and/or until you can gain employment. That is often supported by statements and commitments given by family members already in Australia. There is ZERO requirement to pay any money into an Australian bank account and to keep it there for any period of time - ever. Likewise, there is no requirement to apply every 12 months to stay. There is no requirement to report to Police every 90 days. There is no requirement to apply to leave and re-enter the country. The only similar requirement in Australia, and all Civilised 1st world countries that allow people to move and live there, is to report whenever you change your address - until when after 2-3 years of 'good behaviour' you automatically become a Resident. Then if you want to, you can apply to become a Citizen. IMO Thailand has failed to properly implement an Immigration System (how unusual I know). They need their current Immigration system for Tourists - but they need an new 'system' for those who have the financial means to come and live in Thailand permanently in Thailand, like all civilised 1st world countries have. This constant creation of new Tourist Visas for all the new long-term stays is a dog's breakfast. If you did not know, technically (legally) all Expats staying in Thailand long term are Tourists. That is why the 90 days reporting and the 12 months annual renewal is required (even if done by themselves under things like Elite Visa) - because the maximum period of stay for a Tourist in the Thai Law is 90 days, and the maximum validity period of a Tourist Visa is 12 months. Thailand does not have a legal basis upon which to allow someone to enter and stay in Thailand as an Immigrant - ONLY as a Tourist (or Diplomat).
