Is this a recent change? I thought that when they renew your yearly extension and observe a new reentry stamp supported by a new TM6, they would ask why you never renewed your existing TM30 within 24 hours of returning to Thailand. Because the TM 30 you then produce at your next yearly extension renewal prior to your outward/ inward journey would be out of date.

As far as I am aware. No one thinks you are lying, and definitely not me. I merely explained my situation. -

I believe it is London according to my account and their sort code. But I might be wrong. I live in Thailand and signed up here. @ Blorg. Thank you. That explains it. The address on my account is registered here in Thailand. But, it's no hardship, I still have my UK Mastercard, which I obtained many many years ago. -

Here is the info from the help page regarding virtual card. I cannot apply because I do not already have a physical credit card as I live in Thailand. They do not issue physical credit cards to Thailand. I am on the list as and when they authorise Thailand. But thank you for your link. -

Khun Song. Tel: 062 8822 565. He repaired the auto ice maker in my fridge. And recently replaced the thermostat in my oven. Might be worth a try! Very nice guy and extremely professional. And not expensive.

Many thanks. But I cannot even open the links shown on this post. Do you have a link that I can download. I have googled everything on Thailand pass, but no links that I can see. Strangely enough, the app from Apple works fine. But my friend in Germany only has an android phone. Thank you. -

Tried all the links from posters. Doesn't work. Neither does the playstore app or indeed the apk referred to by the developer on playstore. -

Well said. Absolutely got it right. It has nothing g to do with browsers/ incorrect input. We are not all numptys. Big sign in Promenada " 90 day report online is down ". Been that way since May2021 this time. Even the app does not work, but shows many of my historical online applications all approved. Spoke to immigration with my historical records printed out. Awwwwwww ...was the reply. " System down today". ???????????????????????????????????? Enough said.

Advise wanted on making will in Thailand wanted.
Raindancer replied to mikeinkamala's topic in Chiang Mai
I should add, that the Amphur gave my wife a document certifying her right to access my bank account, to be presented to the bank upon my death. She will need that,my death certificate and passport. They will then release the funds to her. Don't know why, but I discovered this many years ago, when I first enquired with my bank on this subject. Hence I don't want or need a lawyer for my personal banking estate. Obviously lawyers do not want you to know that. But a little bit of research by people on Thai wills and probate, can enlighten them. -
Advise wanted on making will in Thailand wanted.
Raindancer replied to mikeinkamala's topic in Chiang Mai
Correct. Thai law does NOT require probate of all wills. 1. Under thai law sect 1635 there are rules for statutory heirs. 2. Furthermore, the legally married spouse of the deceased has automatic rights to the estate, unless you provide a will to the contrary. 3. Finally, not ALL provinces/ states in Thailand require probate for All of an estate. Now for those who pass themselves as wannabee lawyers and being rather fed up of certain annoying statements I visited the Amphur on Monday, specifically to ask about leaving a bank account to ones legally married wife after my demise. This is nothing to do with all my other assets. They have already been dealt with. AND, there are no other heirs in my line!! I had just been to the bank about this issue and they said it is NOT illegal for a wife/ husband to gain FULL access to the deceaseds bank account, providing i gain authority from my local Amphur. This is their (Amphur)official reply. Provide the following documents: 1. Passport and copy of first page. 2. Provide a translation of passport ( first page). 3. Copy of bank book/ books. 4. Certificate of mental competence from a doctor. 5. Provide a will in Thai language stating the sole beneficiary of your bank accounts. 6 Provide a copy of the Tambien Bahn plus ID card of the sole beneficiary. 7. Copy of marriage certificate and original kor ror 2. 8. Bring two witnesses to the Amphur, to witness your signature. They should also provide ID or passports to verify their status. I know that I previously stated that I had previously registered a will in English with my Amphur, without a doctors certificate, which I showed the Officer in Charge. It was still extant. But rules had changed since then. But, because of Thai government policy to reduce all Bank accounts to 1,000,000 guarantee for investors from 5,000,000, I had to move things around to new accounts. And so I had already prepared most documents prior, apart from the doctors note, which was new to me. Hence my visit to the bank and Amphur for clarification on making a new will, SPECIFICALLY, for bank accounts and nothing else. Today, everything has been ratified, signed sealed and authorised. Now, whenever the day comes, my wife can access my bank accounts "legally". I hope that helps someone. Even if it is only one person, it will have been worth the time to post this on the forum. -

Here is another good link. Here is the link that I found suited me best. https://funeralguide.co.za/write-your-own-will/free-will-template/ If you scroll down you will find two versions to download. It is self explanatory which download suits your needs. I used the .doc version. And edited it to suit my needs. I included my country/passport number and expiry date, when stating my name etc. I also stated the name and ID of my benefactor. That way there is no legal misunderstanding of my benefactor.
