I don't have a problem with gated communities, but the main issue with them is that everything is fine until many of the houses don't want to pay any more for the "common Fees". That money pays so that the garbage truck comes along 1-2 times a week and pays for security etc etc So there goes your security etc etc This more and more happens

In my home country I also had this problem a few years ago, they wanted a reference letter from another bank. I just went to another bank and they opened the account. And the Bank (which wanted the reference letter) a couple of years later went bankrupt.

Agree, I have done the renewal recently and was done in 40 minutes (20+ minutes of those were waiting because we arrived during lunch hour)

Did you have any luck doing the online 90 day report? Waited a week or so and still not approved, so I went to IO, haven’t tried since.

See FORUM SUPPORT

3) Correct 4) Correct 89 days from Jan 1st is 31st March Edit: Also don't forget you also have 7 days after 31st March. So in total you have almost 3 weeks to do the 90 day report (15 days before and 7 days after) All the info is here: https://www.immigration.go.th/en/?page_id=1666

I just checked 2022 tried 2 times, 1st time waited 5 days, 2nd time waited almost a week. Haven't tried since so maybe it has improved but then another member could comment. I am not that bothered that it doesn't work as we have 3 weeks to do the 90 Report and in those 3 weeks we most certainly will have a visit to Makro or Big C in the agenda and thus combine it. And If I can't go my wife or my BIL can also do it for me.

You request info on Buriram IO but then start saying yeah Jomtien you need this and not that. That is why I said Up 2 U. I think you should know by now that every IO and even different officers have different requirements. I haven’t even written that on my visit to ask for new requirements in beginning of Jan the officer I spoke to said that I needed Yellow House book for current address. I have a YHB but for old address (in Buriram). I changed adres on the YHB and took it with me when I renewed my extension but it wasn’t asked for

But you are using Jomtien, I am using Buriram. i used the old system and it worked perfectly but the new system hasn’t worked for me every time I tried

BANGKOKBANK 1 year statement takes 7 days, 6 month statement I got the same day as my bank letter. 3 month statement also same day. its the same as the KR2 some want that it is only 1 day old and there are even some IO that want the KR2 issued on the same day as going to immigration (and that can be a difficult thing to combine Amphur, Bank and Immigration visit all on the same day).

Oke maybe it's a rubbish requirement but it's easy to obtain from your bank the same time as you get your Bank Letter. Both took me only 40 mins in the Bank last time and total cost 200 THB (100 THB for the letter and 100 THB for the Statement) I remember one member (also using Buriram) not needing the letters/statement, but I did and I rather take too much to Immigration then too little and get send away. Up 2 the OP of course. Edit Ps: I did not give them the Statement right away I was asked for it.

Last time it was 1,5 weeks pending and still not approved. Before the new system 90 day report worked but not any more (YMMV), thus I don't take any chances and just go to Immigration on my way for shopping and as we are +/- 40kms away from Buriram city we combine it with a visit to Makro.

You can try and maybe you get the Extension or not and thus get send away Up 2 U. Good luck with your Move

Maybe I should have said some money, but if you know Immigration, the money has to be in the account for longer periods then 1 day (I thought that was obvious, but apparently not) I am using a Fixed Deposit account and the money (over 800k) is in there for a long time. So I transfer some money (2000 THB) early morning to the account and then go to the Bank get Bank Letter (certified Bank Balance) and also a 6 month statement (can get both one the same day (took me around 40 mins last time). Bank letter has balance from today Statement has balance from YESTERDAY. Also Update your Bank Book

Where do I say about HER bank book? #5 is my Bank Book, she only needs ID card and Tabien Baan

Wouldn't the land office be the first point of contact before talking to a lawyer?

My Bangkok Bank Fixed Deposit account Bank Book was full on the day I went to immigration and was getting the 6 month statement and the Bank Letter. What they did was added a page with the last transactions and in the new bank book they printed the balance, so all the transactions are in the OLD book and the new one has only one line with the Balance. I know that with SCB it is no problem to get a new Bank Book at another branch or even in another province, but no Idea about BBL.

I guess you don't spend much ????

3 and 4 are needed for me because I live in my Wife's house ????

I moved from Pattaya to Buriram ages ago (7+ years now) and I find the Immigration on the Hill very good. I only go to the one in the Stadium for my 90 day reports as it's on my way into town. I recently (2-3 weeks) extended my Retirement Extension and was in and out in 40 minutes (20 minutes of those were waiting time as we arrived during Lunch hour).

Sorry late reaction (I turned off notifications on quotes)

How do you come to that amount?? 1890 THB it costs (if you want to keep your own number). See screenshot 15Mbps and 100GiB per month (and free Disney Hotstar)

Have a look in Google and see about external drives (I mean with external drives the ones that are connected via USB and don't have their own power supply) and over heating. But there is a simple remedy for that and which I use when I have lots of Data to Copy to my External's https://www.lazada.co.th/products/youda-14-led-y-v19-notebook-cooler-pad-i2082460884-s6853912178.html

I tend to agree, but then he must get a good one with enough cooling because he will be running that 2,5" USB drive all the time when his computer is running because he MOVES his Documents Folder over to that Drive. Cheap models tend to have problems with HEAT especially when running longer periods of time.

Thus you need an enclosure as well, and thus external Power Supply (link to enclosure is in same post). USB won't power that.
