 Honestly, when you get to Chiang Mai you must have a Kao Soy Chicken dish. Essentially, its a mild curry based dish with a chicken drumstick and some fried noodles with some green vegetables in it. The dish is only common in the northern part of Thailand around Chiang Mai. I highly recommend it.

The next dish you must have is the Hainan Chicken dish. Hainan Chicken is a famous dish originated from Hainan Province in China and its a very common dish in southern China esp. in Guangdong and Hong Kong. It is also relatively common in Singapore and Malaysia amongst Chinese descendants esp. most are originated from the Southern Chinese provinces. I stumbled across this place in central Chiang Mai and the ethnic Chinese descendants from Thailand have a slightly different variation of the Hainan Chicken to what I'm use to in Australia or Singapore. Nevertheless it was simple and delicious (as pictured below). You must go try it when in Chiang Mai.

Opening a Portugal bank account remotely (easy step by step)

-
Image
Other than using the services of bordr.io (cost 350 Euros to open at the time of writing), the Portuguese bank account I found on the internet that you can open outside of Portugal is Banco Atlantico Europa . When you navigate to "Open Account" the following screens asks you to download its app on Android or Apple app stores. This is what the app looks like in the Android app store. Once you open the app, the following screens will appear and it states the relevant documents you need to upload via the app either from photos or pdfs. You will need to follow the steps to create a User ID, enter your email address, your cellphone number (even if its a non-Portuguese number), your residential address (in your country), your work profession (job title and employer name) and your NIF. Once completed you will need to upload these documents to prove your name (eg. passport), DOB, passport number, nationality, your proof of residential address (eg. driver's licence, utility bills,...

SEF Appointment (Resident Permit/Autorização de Residência )

-
After successfully obtaining your D7 (temporary) visa, there is usually a web link on your Portugal visa attached to your passport. This link provides you the information for SEF appointment (eg. date and location). The SEF appointment is to obtain your residency permit or known as the Autorização de Residência. Note : I did everything myself and did not use an agent or lawyer (which I hear other people doing). In most cases that I gathered, most appointments are located differently to where you live in Portugal. So there is some hassle to get there. But luckily in my case, my appointment location was in the same city I live in and I got there 45 minutes before the appointment schedule (not necessary, as I still had to wait about 40 minutes until my ticket number was called). When you arrive at the SEF office, you go to the staff/security and let them know you have a SEF appointment and he/she will check your name against the schedule he/she has and give you a ticket number. You ju...

DIY low cost method for a Portugal D7 visa

I've always believed in doing things by myself as much as possible and trying to lower the costs of doing each activity by understanding the entire process. So I've written this post to explain the steps I took with my "Do it yourself (DIY)" application process and recorded the cost of each process. To begin with the process, I enquired about the D7 visa with the Portuguese Consulate in Sydney Australia, and this is the list of the requirements they provided me (note: amount requirements was based on November 2021 eg. minimum income in Portugal at the time): The official application form and passport requirements are self-explanatory. You should follow the steps accordingly esp. application of the NIF is the very first step, without this you cannot open a Portuguese bank account and sign a registered rental lease. 1. Application of a NIF Use either NIFonline.pt (cost 59.90 Euros plus extra VAT which totals to 73.68 Euros), bordr.io (cost 150 Euros), or AlgarveKnowHow ...
