    now u can use ATM cards in Malaysia

    Nine banks join new scheme in a prelude to similar service throughout Asean

    Customers of nine Thai banks will be able to use ATMs in Malaysia from next month as part of a cross-border scheme that aims to provide the service across Asean countries.

    The operation will be expanded to Singapore and Indonesia in the first quarter of next year.

    Both Thai and Malaysian travellers will be able to withdraw money at ATM machines throughout Malaysia and Thailand that bear the ATM Pool logo.

    The nine local banks - Krung Thai Bank, Bank of Ayudhya, Kasikornbank, Siam Commercial Bank, TMB Bank, Siam City Bank, BankThai, UOB Bank (Thai) and Bangkok Bank -

    have a total of around 10,000 ATMs nationwide, while MEPS will provide around 5,900 ATMs through its MEPS shared ATM network in Malaysia.

    Changes To Visa Run Rules - A Poll

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    :o

    only a update

    (for the 33% :D )

    News from the new regulation:

    This is coming from the Chief of Immigration.

    1.Retirement Visa extension. If you have a foreign married spouse who is a dependent they will be able to get this dependent visa now. ( change of what has been happing the last couple weeks)

    2.Retirement visa extension: If you have children under 20. They will no longer be able to get a dependent visa based on you having an extension of stay on retirement. They want these kids to get it based on education so they go to school.

    3..Investment Visa extension: Will no longer be available after Oct 1st for new applicants on 3 million Baht.

    4. Investment visa extension. For existing extension of stay holders of 3 million Baht, we are now being told this will now be grandfathered in and they will be able to get the extension forever as long as they renew. (Yes I know reversal from several hours ago but the government is aware that people bought condos before on this scheme and now will allow it.)

    5.Now the news for frequent visitors: We have checked this upwards and backwards all day and it has been confirmed by a copy of the new regulation we have. If you have a visa on arrival more than three times in six months, you cannot come into Thailand without a visa from an Embassy/Consulate. When you enter Thailand, even if you are here just 1 hour, this counts as 30 days. If you come back 6 weeks later for 2 days, this again is 30 days. If you arrive a month later for 4 days, still counts as 30 days. When you leave, you cannot enter Thailand for 3.5 months without coming back with a visa. The reason is to force people who are supposed to have work permits to do so and pay tax.

    Another example; you arrive for a week, this counts as 30 days, One month later 3 days and its 30 days, two months later and its for a two week period, still another 30 days. You can reenter Thailand in 6 weeks without having a visa.

    6.On extension of stay based support of a Thai national (Marriage visa), before if you applied for this extension of stay, you would get a 30 day consideration stamp. Once you return in 30 days you would get the one year extension. Now it will be the same as an extension of stay based on business with the norm of three 30 day consideration stamps. Immigration will go out and check to see if it’s a real marriage or a sham before issuing the one year.

    7.On an extension of stay based on being a Monk. No dependents will be allowed to get an extension of stay based on being a dependent.
