Just changed the service (electrical panel) in my house and added Dual Function (Arc Fault Ckt Interrupter & Ground Fault Ckt Interrupter) breakers for all my 120V branch ckts. I'm counting on rental income from the old place and want to ... Read More

Very useful yet again. Thanks for all replies. I'm not looking to make the world safe, not that naive. Been going to SE Asia since early 90's. OMG that wiring ! I 'm primarily looking at making a life in a SE Asian country that wants us ... Read More

Business visa denied due to "violating laws of Vietnam" - Blacklisted? by kowloon2020
Hello, I am from Western Europe, working in Hong Kong and I applied for a 3-month Vietnam business visa via an agency. I got an email from the agent telling me that I was denied, as the immigration told them "[b]I have violated the laws of ...
You don't need a work permit to develop or own a business in Vietnam. If you are an owner and derive income from the business you can apply for a work permit exemption. It's a bit of a hassle but not too bad. I had a lawyer here in ... Read More

Of course it wouldn't be polite for me to discuss anyone's possible intent to subvert the rules of a host country. OP kowloon2020 repeatedly asserted that he did not earn income and only signed contracts/secured office space and staff, ... Read More

THIS is AWFUL. I had thought VN was friendlier to retired expats than Thailand or Cambodia, but I guess not now. There's just no getting around leaving every 90 days, it seems. The case can be made it's gaming the system, but the VOA firms ... Read More

Dear Expats! We already covered this topic many times but still some members has doubt about - how to obtain a VEC, who are eligible, what document needed, how much does it cost, how long it take to get processed, etc. I hope this short guide will ...
THIGV: That was helpful to this newb. The reason my Thai wife and I are considering VN is due to the easier visa situation - compared to Thailand. My wife's not Vietnamese. I can't get a VEC (Certificate of Visa Exemption -for other ... Read More
A title is required? hmmm... going with KING OF URANUS
My wife (Thai) and I will move to Danang in 2 years. Looking forward to being a short flip-flop shuffle from the beach, good AA meetings, and a lifting gym. Neither of us drink, gamble or smoke - so SE Asia is a *HALF OFF SALE* every day. And no ... Read More

Thanks for clearing that up Joe. Yeah, the letter from an employer in Cambodia now is what I was referring to. I'll try not to pollute the board with bad info anymore. Read More
Airline Fare Comparison Tool (This Website) by OceanBeach92107

1) Widows and divorcees are stigmatized, so it's possible the net is the answer. 2) Polygamy is legal there (not only Muslims), so they don't HAVE to leave one to be with the new flame. 3) Divorce is easy for men, no need to abandon them. 4) ... Read More

That's what I've learned. Also the construction mayhem is a prequel to Sihanoukville's decline for expats and regular travelers. Vietnam's easy visa for retirement is why we will retire there soon. Thailand forces you to leave ... Read More

ben2... not to cross-pollinate (or cross-something) BUT; Have you looked at Danang? We're thinking it's a seaside life and cheaper than HuaHin with a similar beach and vibe. And, of course, a much friendlier visa program than LOS. Read More

Bumping an old thread to see if things are sill declining here. This place was topping out list before reading this. Gambling Chinese and associated gambling issues are no good. We're planning for Danang now unless Sihanoukville gets sorted out ... Read More
Applying for a Retirement visa in Cambodia as at March 2019 by tookgare
Tookgare from Thailand How difficult is it to get a retirement visa now? As Retirement visas are becoming out of reach in Thailand unless you have THB1,000,000+ in a Thai Bank a/c as many western countries are not longer issuing proof of income ...
Just want to pile on and say... This is a prime reason why we've changed plans favoring Cambodia as our primary residence, as opposed to Thailand which is stickier every year. Read More
Medication for genuine pain. by Deerculler
With all the stuffing around by Thai Immigration I have been thinking about moving somewhere else. I have scoliosis of the spine. Is morphine obtainable through a hospital pain clinic in Cambodia?
I'd never judge someone's chronic pain. I don't even drink or use NSAID's but don't judge anyone else for using pain medication. I figure if I did, I'd be getting a dose of chronic pain myself.. no thanks. g/l Read More
