Again, visa question - Canadian - retired by AGLV0121

Seen the pension I get from the Canadian Gov., I do not meet the requirements for a retiree visa. My earnings are $1500 / month (and that's Canadian dollars! sheesh) Any suggestion? Gerry

Thanks but then how to get a six months visa? O visa? I don't see any spec here (Canadian Embassy) showing me that I can apply an O visa, or any other. On which basis? Thanks for any suggestion. Or, I can be employed by some school (have earned ... Read More

Chiang Mai OK but polluted - you don't have to be downtown anyway. Lots of temples (as usual). Depending on whether you need to be in a city or not, ChiangRai OK, and the eastern part of Thailand (Sisaket) absolutely beautiful. I am ... Read More
