My girlfriend has been flying back and forth twice a year for 2007 days in the Netherlands since 90. The exam has been attempted, but is not included. So just keep flying. Now I discovered that, just like for myself, it is better to book a return AMS-BKK-AMS for her than always a return BKK-AMS-BKK, which currently saves more than 300 euros (736 to 1073). In the many previous applications for a (shorter) Schengen visa, we always needed the latter. I didn't notice the difference in price before. But the lady now has a 5-year visa and will only be confronted with an application again in four years.

I won't be staying in Thailand for 12 months at a time because I travel a lot in Asia, but all in all I will definitely be staying in the country for +/- 10 months.

We bought a house in Thailand, of course it is in my wife's name. I have the usufruct of the house. In case my wife were to die before me, can I sell this house as a foreigner or will the house be inherited by her son? And what about a piece of land, can I sell it later?
You sometimes hear from Thailand visitors that they want to see the real Thailand and do not want to go where the tourists crowd. Plenty of options, but still few people choose Nakhon Si Thammarat province and that is a pity to say the least.

We have made an offer on a condominium we want to buy in Pattaya. The seller has accepted the offer.
