  1. The first page for stamps in my passport is transfer stamps of two old original non-O visas, she still wanted all pages from 2016 and up to date (October 2021)...
  2. The list in the quote is from 2019, it's not the latest, that's why you're missing the O-A insurance information...???? October 2021 list is here...
  3. I read as since last entry stamp, which I did in October (2021), plus the name page. The lady at the counter however walked to the copy machine, and copied all other used pages in the passport; i.e. all pages until your last stamp in the passport...

  5. Bangkok Bank has a standard letter for immigration purpose, where details are just typed in. Normally a three month statement is required together with the bank letter, plus a photo copy of the bank book; some offices require all pages of the bank book, so check exactly what the office you use needs of documentation. From my experience, it's best to leave the 800k baht in a special account not mixed with other transactions. If you can afford it, for example use a 12 month fixed deposit for best interest, and just withdraw the interest once a year, and leave the 800k baht balance; then you also don't need to remember to top up the account two month prior to next annual renewal. It makes it easy for both you, and the immigration officer. I've been using the above method for years, and I also include the balance my normal savings account with ATM card for foreign transfers and daily use in my annual letter, to show my source of income. That means a fee for the letter and two fees for statements, normally in Bankok Bank 3 x 100 baht...???? EDIT: Some offices wish a bank statement and copy of bankbook same day, or day before, applying for extension of stay; others accepts bank letter and statement dated up to a week before.
  6. The subject has been up before about elder Swedish people. Knowing how bad the elder care situation has become in some European countries, it might be a great option, might even be cheaper for governments to offer luxury care in Thailand than domestic care lacking a reasonable service level. I'm hoping never to need to return to my Danish home country and end up in an old folks care home. And when I read about how it is for many old people now in Denmark, I'm even more convinced. If staying in your own home, you can a few hour help, not per day, but in a week. In a care home relatives complains that the old family members only get a bath once a week, and might not even be helped to toilet, they can just use their senior diapers as there is not enough staff. There has been a number of horror stories in the news documented by relative's videos. Danes are the highed taxed popultation in the World; when working hard during a long life and paying your taxes, then this is what one get from your not only your tax money, they also use your retirement pension to pay for it. It you can afford private care as described in the article in for example Thailand, it's really worth considering, you would hardly get anything just close to it for the equivalent of £33,600 in Denmark compared to the example mentioned in the arcticle that costs £2,800 per month. The alternative £15-an-hour careworker from 9am to 6pm home in UK would be £135 per day and only 20 days to match £2.800; you would never be able to get a careworker in Denmark for modest £15 an hour, minimum salary for a careworker is 199 DKR per hour (2021), which equals £23, plus pension and extras. £2,800 would in Denmark equal about 100 hours careworker-help per month, or three to four hours per day. The only real problem I can see with remote elder care is family relations.

  17. Many of the usual places visited by foreigners are still closed, while a few is reopened by calling themselves "restaurant" instead of "bar", including the live music venues mainly frequented bi Thais. Officially no alcohol is served after 9 pm, but there is no curfew, so you can still stay out late...????

  22. Seems like internationalliving.com don't read comments in ASEAN NOW-forum... More serious, Thailand might well be the #1 retirement destination in Asia - it's not so bad here, it's actually quite good - but if limited funds and interest for for finding a partner are not major factors, there seems to several excellent options to choose between...
