Many thx your very helpful posting,

So just to be clear.

After i move to Pattaya  within 24 hours I will get copy of TM 30 confirmation online from the Agent.

( no need visit immigration)

When my 90 day report is due in June or july I will attempt to do it on line and if unsuccessful (likely) I will go to Jomtien immigration with 1-5 in the photo.

Correct?

Ps if the agent can do TM30 on line and gives me  written confirmation then in my mind that satisfies the requirement of TM 30 without me needing to go to immigration unless and until I need to do my 90 day report and its not accepted on line.

Ah so just to be clear. The agent will do the TM 30 for me and give paper confirming it.

As my 90 days from BKK is not due until July I do not need to do my 90 day report until it is due in July and I do that in Pattaya?

Is that right or am I confusing myself?

Thanks your help Dr Jack54

Yes permanent change of address,

Next annual extension in January/Feb 2025

In a week or more I will move to Pattaya from BKK. The owner's agent (of the Pattaya property which I will rent) promises he will do the TM 30 for me on the App and give me a copy of the TM 30 confirmation.

My current 90 report I have been doing for a few years online CW.

I next report my 90 day in early July so can I still do it online even though I will then be living in Pattaya?

Or do I need to go in person to Pattaya Immigration and do my 90 day report there?

If so apart from the TM 30 confirmation, any other documents I need at Pattaya immigration?

Any clarification and explanation would be helpful.

Thank you.

Yes agree call 1333 and ask the bank. I have a similar cartoon type ATM card though there is a MC symbol on it. I use it for withdrawals and can use it to pay traders etc

Also you can ask for Visa and Mastercard from BB which function as proper credit cards. You will need to deposit a sum in the bank to secure such cards.

Isn't 'Brit scum' in the headline offensive and racist language?

If he isn't scum what is he?

Moderator, please combine this thread or close it as story running elsewhere

I live in Bangkok. Recently a loud bird noise was coming from my balcony and I went to look and there outside my balcony on a tree a yellow colored bird making the loud sound!

What bird is this? Is it rare?

(excuse poor quality of photo.)

Thanks, the helpful replies. I was at CW today to get my 1 year retirement Visa. So, after getting that I applied for  my re-entry permit. Same floor different section.

After getting my Visa renewal I went to the photocopy downstairs to get copy my new renewal for re-entry purposes. Added that to my reentry app but the copy of my new Visa stamp returned to me when I went to apply.

So is it the case at CW a copy of new Visa not required to get re-entry stamp?

Incidentally I noticed the 90 day report section busy despite online available.

I will be going to CW soon so can anyone kindly update documents that are required?

Many thanks

I have spent 20+years living and working onboard Marine survey ships. 4-8 wek4 to 8 weeks trips at sea can be like know what long trips at sea are like.  Even with a job to do, it is difficult life.  I would never think of going on a cruise unless I had my own cabin.  You will need your own space.  Sharing with strangers, or even friends is hard..  Only use for a cruise ship I can see, is as a floating hotel with a port call and shore trips every day and ravel at night

Yes well very good advice from someone who ought to know.

Thank you

Recently seeing a lot of ads for around the world cruises  registration to go in Bangkok.

310,000 baht per person : 3 sharing a cabin.

Does anyone have experience of similar cruises?

Worth going?

Over the years I have heard Thais make insulting remarks about Indians.

So if there is some truth in those remarks maybe the same applies to the lyrics etc in the  song!

Many thx for taking the time and effort to tell us your experience.

Most helpful!

Applied on line at CW early morning: 08/01/24

If you are older and spend a lot of time in the sun there is a risk of getting Actenic keratosis.

I had this condition on my head and needed treatment. If untreated it can develop into skin cancer.

Now i try to avoid the sun and if outside in the day I wear a hat and other protective clothing.

Be appreciative if a knowledgeable person can assist me.

I am long time stayer in Thailand (retirement visa 800 k bank method) with pension etc income. 

Pension and Income etc. subject to double taxation agreement.

Currently arranging my affairs to ensure I can avoid (not evade) reaching the threshold if it is the case that I may be liable to personal income tax from 1 January 2024.

How much income for the year 2024 can I bring into Thailand as shown on my bank statement so I cannot be said to be liable to pay tax?

(and I assume no necessity to file a tax return).

Thanks very much for any input.

So will the RD announce anything soon? Or maybe they will just say nothing?

Good news re CW:

Submitted : 24 October

Approved: 31 October

( and for those who do not know we have a 15 day window -if you apply at earliest date - but also another 7 days according to what Immigration told me directly on the phone).
