  1. I tried to get my BB Prompt Pay to migrate to a new mobile. As it did not worked out on my first attempt on the ATM with the old phone, I thought let them do it in my local BB branch. Unfortunately, the competent staff that was very helpful in opening the account years back, seemed to be promoted away to higher positions, and it nowadays feels literally like you deal with kids in the Kindergarten. It's probably a issue that can be sorted, if you get the chance to find different staff. However, I was wondering what alternatives are around that working with PromptPay, what literally everyone uses here. I'm feeling that's the time has come not to relying on a single financial provider. My closest thinking was.something like True wallet, didn't look into yet. Line pay, you need a Thai ID, might find a turnaround there. I think in 7/11 they accept AliPay, another thing I didn't look into so far. Can anyone enlighten me?
  2. Just wondering if such a thing would exist. Not that I'm affected in any kind. But I have seen enough to say it's not healthy for the economy. Well loan sharks exemption.
  3. Need to do a visa exempt extension for my mother. She's staying in a hotel, and the manager confirmed that they've done the TM30 as required.(Online) What I have forgotten, do you need a copy of the tambien baan and a signature/ copy ID of the owner from the residence, same as required with a TM30. Or just the form for the extension, a photograph and the 1900B ?
  4. I'm on a new passport issued in my home country. Have been away for 5 months and currently on a SETV. Knowingly, I had a exempt entry in January. How likely is it that this one shows up in their database?
  5. I'm got my e-visa approved today 11th. The ticket I had to submit for the application is scheduled for arrival on the 25th. I booked that ticket to give them enough time to process the visa. I'm actually not planning on using it, so it's fully refundable. The problem I have now is that the e-visa is valid from 24th, what's if I enter b4 that date? Would that cause problems if entering on Visa exempt. Sorry for hijacking the post, but I believe it's a too similar issue to start a separate thread.
  6. Wouldn't be a problem for me. I never wired more than 4000€ ~150K Baht at a time to my account and used up that money until it dropped into the 4 digits range. Nowadays I use even much smaller amounts each time with Wise, as they arrive in my account within seconds. So the 1000000. I won't probably reach anyways.
  7. Although I have already a BB account, I was wondering what is the normal way to go for the visa fund requirements? I could probably manage to keep my balance over 400/800K as required, but just imagine your card get hacked and the balance drops under the required amount. Assume there are better ways, even in Thailand.
