I have read the threads about the famous/infamous Greek Kamaki. Kamaki literally means 'harpoon' in Greek, but it is a term we use to refer to 'gaming' girls. A greek guy that is good at picking up girls is known as a 'kamaki'.

Kamaki, how did you nail down the one year Thailand visa? Education?

LOL, does this imply Greek women are the same size as America women?

Thai Elite doesn't seem too bad for some people, actually. Having stayed in South East Asia for a few years now with different kinds of tourist and business visas, it gets tedious to fix visa issues when you add them all up. If you're staying full time you're upfront about what you're doing, you're not abusing a business, ED or tourist visa to stay permanently, you get a bank account, you're getting helped to become an integrated person in Thai society, get business, investment and work opportunities etc. In the long run, those things matter to how you feel and function as an expat.
The problem is if you just arrive in Thailand, maybe you'll find out that you like a neighbouring country better or that your girlfriend lives there suddenly, so I wouldn't recommend it until you find out you prefer Thailand to her neighbours. 1 year multiple entry visas for 20K bath would be a more attractive deal for most people who aren't fully settled in Thailand, but for now it's 5 or 20 years.

I got my Philippine Permanent residency 2 years ago when I was 41 years old.
I applied for the 'Quota Visa' and was granted one of the 50 given out annually to countries who afford Filipinos the same privilege.
I'm single, no need to get married for this, valid for life, can work with no need for work permit....it really is the best visa to get for those who want to settle here permanently. No annual costs like that for the retirement visa.
The only downside is that it is pretty hard to get, but if you are patient and stick at it well worth it in the end.
