Our mission: Simplify visas and bring transpancy to the space
I’m not the easiest person to get along with. As an example I met a very diligent feminist yesterday (refused to shake my hand, that militant) and proceeded to tell her about masculine and feminine countries and that the US is a female-run country. Of which she threw a tantrum and left. I will tell my friends exactly where and how they are fucking up or going well. Including girlfriends, any slutty behaviour will immediately call it out. It allienates a lot of people. And that’ fine, I’ve accepted it’s who I am and most people can’t handle it. I refuse to sell my soul.
How does this relate to you?
People are Lying to you man. A lot. And who is the worst culprit? The Thai government. They are bullshitting left and right about visas. Calling a tourist visa an ‘elite’ vise or the most dishonest of all is the Long Term Residency (LTR) visa. That is a complete lie. 100%. It is NOT a residency or will ever lead to residency. It is purely a tourist visa. That’s all.
As long as you know this, it’s fine. But am realising a lot of people are actually falling for the marketing gimmicks and buying elite visas and other garbage when there is far cheaper and better visas elsewhere. The Taiwan Gold Card for one, which does actually give you residency and is $350USD. That is significantly better. Too bad I didn’t like Taiwan, but it is better.
Anyway I just spent 2 years searching up visas, reading books, watching videos, planning etc. and I have a spread sheet of every country in the world. With tax rates, cost of living, property prices, how hot the girls are, is porn legal, is it good weather, how good is the air quality, and about 50 or so other criteria & growing.
I am doing my best to get this on: fulltimedigitalnomads.com as fast as possible so you can properly assess countries and know what your options are. For right now, there is one thing something specifically you need to know about Thailand. That is only has 2 visas. That’s right 2!
- Tourist Visas.
- Work Permit.
That’s it.
All of the LTR and retirement and whatever else. They are all tourist visas’s, just packaged up at different prices.
Here are your only real current options:
For temporary stay:
- retirement visa.
- Destination Thailand Visa
- Visa on Arrival
- LTR (if you qualify)
For long term stay (PR and citienship):
- Creating a company and hiring yourself.
- Investing in a Thai business and getting a work permit from it.
- Getting a job.
All other options are bullshit. And in terms of people on things like the LTR, please know you’ve been swindled, it is not a residency and you will eventually need to go home unless you set up a company and get a work permit. But, if you know that, then it’s fine. Just don’t expect something that’s never going to happen please.
So my two recommendations for now are: 1. Destination Thailand Visa and Retirement Visa for everybody not making a company. .
If you are an agency (or individual who wants to help someone else apply) and want to do these visas (only!) please list yourself on: fulltimedigitalnomads and let me know what referral fee you will give.
