Just been looking at my PayPal account settings. My registered address is in Thailand - don't have a UK address so that was not an option when registering my account. The ID Number that I used - and which appears on the settings - is the one that is on my vaccination certificate. This was obviously accepted when I registered. Whether or not it remains valid after October remains to be seen.

I have received nothing new from them since the previous email that they sent some time ago. I guess that I'll find out that my account has been discontinued when it ceases to work. I'm really not too bothered - rarely use it anyway.

Interesting! Does your TMB card have the old 4-digit PIN? The new TTB/TMB cards use a 6-digit PIN and will work in all brands of ATMs. Maybe you just need a new card - which might not allow internet use, of course!

I have had a savings account with TTB (formerly TMB) for many years and I have a personalized VISA debit card for the account that works in ATMs. I also have the TTB Touch app on my phone that I can use to pay bills by scanning a bar code or QR code. I can also access TTB online banking with no issues. What I seem to be unable to do is to use the debit card for internet transactions - e.g. purchasing an airline ticket. Apparently, the card is not activated for this and I can't find a way to activate it, either by using the TTB online banking portal or with the TTB Touch app. My local TTB branch tells me that it is not possible to use the card online but this is surely not correct. It's a VISA card so what is the problem! Anyone had a similar problem? What's the solution, if any?

If taking the option of returning to Thailand on a visa exempt entry it is then possible to convert this to a non-O at Immigration, or so I believe, and then to extend after 90 days. However, it appears that Immigration insist on 'money in the bank' on the day of application and will not accept proof of income - from previous 12 months of international transfers. Is it possible to use an agent to get round this restriction so that I don't need to transfer a large amount of cash to Thailand. I'd much sooner leave it in UK. The other option, I suppose, would be to get a 'proper' non-O from a consulate abroad as I believe that proof of income is acceptable in that case.

No idea. SMS source just says NXSMS.

No problem here - access code sent to my AIS number.

I received an email from Paypal, back in March, that seemed to indicate that the changes would not affect my account. I only use PayPal for occasional bill paying - sometimes convenient - but not for other types of transaction so maybe this is why, Email reproduced below: Your PayPal account will no longer be limited on March 7. Dear *************, We recently contacted you about some changes to your PayPal account, which relate to the relaunch of our services in Thailand. We have been listening to the concerns expressed by our customers in Thailand, and we have been working closely with the Thai authorities to try and address these concerns.

Anyone having problems accessing their Lazada account? As of yesterday I can't access mine. I usually login using the Google option but now this just sends me round in circles and gets nowhere. Trying to login using the Lazada account password says 'wrong password' but trying to use the 'forgot password' link doesn't work either. Trying to receive an authentication code, either by SMS or email, doesn't work - nothing received. Not sure if it's something that I've messed up or if their site is having problems. I'll try contacting them later, once they're awake - if that link works!
