  3. You need to check that to be sure with Elite Card, some Elite Cards need to renewed at least after five years – i.e., 20 years = 4 x 5 years – I remember to have seen a thread or post about someone who forgot extension on his Elite Card; he wasstaying in a place where Elite Card did not have a service-office...????
  4. I passed yesterday (Saturday 8th) about 4:30 pm – they are indeed open...????
  5. I presume – I said hello to khun Dan just a few weeks ago – but they close the workshop about 5 pm. There is also a Dan Auto in Nathon – khun Dan use to be there now, while his younger nephew takes care of the Maenam branch – but Nathon is further away from Bangrak...????
  6. Might be depending where you live, apart from the 800.000 baht needs be in the account minimum two month before you apply for yearly extension of stay, and the money shall remain three month after you stay is granted, and never fall below 400.000 baht during the remaining part of a year, until it need to be increased again to 800.000 baht for next yearly extension. I extend my stay based on retirement at what is said to be the most strict immigration office in the nation and I don't need 10 photos of my house – I need none, just like in zero – and I don't need a neighbour or any other person to vouch for me. If you are just a little bit organized, extension of stay based on retirement is actually as easy as a piece of cake – and then you also don't need a wife...

  8. Thanks and no, but my girlfriends has been using Taksin Hospital for HPV-checks, so I've been taking the trip over there a number of times...????
  9. Your bank won't ask for a work permit, but an up-to-date print of the company registration where you are stated as director and with full power. You don't need a work permit to be director in a company limited, but it's board functions you can perform, not daily duties or acting as a managing director. In principle you can perform top level duties like loan- or investment contracts in the bank, but you cannot on behalf of the company write regular deposit slips, that is a employee's job.
  10. You can buy it, but you cannot own the land under the house, so you need to find a Thai to transfer the property to. An alternative is a company limited as owner, an often used method, but not without expenses and sometimes headaches also, if you don't get the set-up right from the beginning. There are several threads in the forums about using a Thai company limited as owner of property...????
  11. Taksin Hospital in Surat Thani is fine and reasonable priced. If you have a car it's fairly easy to get there from Samui. Just take the ferry to Don Sak and follow the road to Surat Thani about 1 houyrs drive – Taksin Hospital is on the right hand side just after you enter the center of the city; turn inside, you can normally find parking space in the back of the hospital.

  17. 1. In principle yes, but many works for foreign clients "under the radar" and officially live of their savings. Be aware, that foreign money transferred into Thailand during the same tax year (calendar year) as earned are fully income taxable in Thailand, while waiting with transfer to the following year, or any later year, magically has changed the money's status to savings, which are tax free ti transfer. 2. When married to a Thai you can apply for work permit. However, if you work on your own you need to set up a company, which can be a partnership limited with your wife; she needs to own 51% of the partnership. You also need two Thai employees for a work permit to a foreigner, one of the employees can be your wife. 3. Yes, there is the new LTR-visa for remote workers, you can read more HERE.
  18. If you need to travel with Lomprayah catamarans, it is advised to book two days in advance due to high demand for tickets up to Songkran. There are at the moment three daily trips to Koh Tao from Koh Samui, and seven daily trips to Koh Phangan. Tourism Association of Koh Samui is also negotiating with Bangkok Airways for extra flights up to Songkran. Read more HERE in Khaosod English.
  19. Way 2, a new nightclub In Chaweng Beach's Green Mango-area a new night club named "Way 2" will open next Saturday. It's built in the parking lot behind former Black Club. The manager in Green Mango Club told me that they seems to be aiming on the same Thai-audience as former Black, with an indoor airconditioned venue. Still under construction view from outside... Bar installation and light check last night about 2 am...
  20. To my knowledge not "extra 90 days", but a total of 90 days from initial entry date.
  21. There is to my knowledge not a "digital nomad"-visa for Thailand, but there is a newer remote worker-visa...
  22. Yes, Facebook-jail, if that counts...
  23. They spent more than 2 years in South Korea – first safe country – I wonder what other nations they contacted from there to apply for asylum...
