You said you have an agent, as I do (and probably most people). I just pay my agent for all my policies and they pay the insurance companies involved (medical or otherwise).

No need for 2nd bank accounts etc. Thats it--problem solved.

Yes I know about the emergency decree.. still if you are allowed to go to restaurants respecting the social distancing measures but also having a meal with your partner or people living with you, I don t see any reason to forbid you to have a glass of wine with your meal.. Sorry

 

 

I am sorry for you...the reason is that its prohibited right now.. enuff said.

Thank you

Yes I have an extension based on marriage RE Entry Permit valid until 21April 2020.

Was due to fly 29_March then Covid intruded.

My understanding was that the amnesty covered Re Entry Permit

being extended.

the Thai Consulate in Liverpool said that going back with my Re

Entry Permit would allow me to apply for a  further extension or the issue of a new Visa at Immigration in Thailand.

As others have said, your extension finished on the 21st April, and as the re-entry is tied to the extension end date, the re-entry is also not valid. The Thai Consulate are wrong on this.

Also contrary to your belief, the amnesty only applies to certain people inside Thailand at this time. So sadly you will need to start the process of entry into Thailand all over again, but this will probably not be possible for 2-3 months at the earliest, so you have time to figure out what is your best course of action to achieve this. I'm sure others will be along to give you some hints on this.

Good luck.

I feel we all should give up on giving this OP advice. He obviously has his own ideas, and is clearly not listening to mostly good advice and ideas from other posters, so for me 'au revoir'. Some people are just not worthy for help.????

well the idea is that nobody gets burned, isnt it. hence the thread.

 

Are you saying that foreigners cant create contracts in thailand? or cant give loans?

 

I buy a house for 100k or whatever. I own a lien on the house for 50k, or my wife owes me 50k via contract to be paid whenever I see fit.

 

So she has the house and is 100k up, but she owes me 50k.

 

The contract will stipulate settlement terms. It would say something like, in the event of separation the owed money is to be paid within 1 year or the house is to be sold via a named firm of solicitors via public auction, proceeds to be split 50/50.

 

As far as I can see, so long as foreigners can enter into contracts in thai law, then why doesnt this method work?

 

Can we have a bit more thinking, and a bit less of the usual "its thailand you will lose everything " because I find it really childish, repetitive, and most of all ignorant.

 

Is there any law that prevents such a contract from being created?

 

 

 

But to answer your question, yes certain contracts can be drawn up through Lawyers, so as you seem to have it all worked out, I'll leave my advice as is.

PS.. And if you read my earlier post, I did not say you will lose everything. I said anything to do with land in thailand is very complicated for foreigners.

I would certainly contact the British Authorities and Embassy in Bangkok to ask advice. Also ask if they can claim his passport. Whoever, landlord etc are not allowed to keep it. It might give clues.

As I mentioned in post #23. The police contact the Embassy once they have finished their initial report, ascertaining his nationality. There is a proper protocol for this. The Embassy will appoint or send an official to Pattaya. The passport will be given to the Embassy at that time, but not any other documents or personal effects.

I submitted documents for 1-year extension upon marriage 2 weeks ago. IO said that amniesty does not cover the case with marriage extension. Office (Chachoengsao) looks quied but by another hand stuff has a lot of time to process your documents. So, i spent about 2.5 hours with my wife in the immigration office.... All documents were ok, just waited and talk with stuff about the reason why i want to stay in Thailand...

This seemed very confusing, but worked it out I think.

Shld be "looks quiet, but on the other hand, the staff have a lot of time".

Never done me any harm over the years.

 

I/we use the Buriram Teachers Credit Union.

 

https://forum.thaivisa.com/topic/1147669-best-bank-for-a-savings-acc-of-1m-thb/

As I said a few maybe eligible (you probably through your wife being a teacher?), but for most others it is not feasible, and therefore not relevant to the thread of 'What bank to put 800k'.

Credit Unions will give a farang 4% in a savings account here in Thailand. 6% if you're Thai and you do it 'Fixed Term'.  Right bring on the knockers.

Bit of an off topic post really, as these type of accounts are basically only open to Thai citizens, and only 1:1000 farang might be eligible in some way. So this is not somewhere for guys to park their 800k for immigration purposes.

Well that is not even a maybe, that is 100% sure. On a BOI, Business etc visa your life is super easy aside once a year. You get the special airport lanes too. 

Just one of the harsh truths in this country, by switching to such visa or accepting it, life can still continue. I mean it is solvable for 30K baht a year.
 

I think your post is very sensible, but if possible can you elaborate on the passage above. thanks.

My Thai partner and son are with me in the U.K. she is on a Visitor Visa, I sponsored her. My son has a U.K. and Thai passport, would they both be entitled to apply for repatriation back to Thailand and if they were who would be responsible for the fareS ?

i appreciate currently if they did return they would be placedIn quarantine for 14 days.

Firstly, yes they are both eligible. As for the airfare..that's a good question, as I don't think anybody on TV has addressed that yet. As for the 14 days quarantine, I believe that is covered 100% by the government for Thai citizens (unless they are allowed to quarantine at home, but unlikely). So a good start to your post I think. Good luck.

@Joe G and @at15

At this time (until 30th June), with the possibility it could be extended again, no international flight passengers are allowed except for Thai citizens and essential personnel. No foreigners (except for diplomats, and essential personnel) are allowed to enter (doesn't matter whether you have WP's, Family, Covit/fit to fly certificates, Insurance etc, or if your employer tells you to come back to work).

Yes it obviously sucks for the many people caught under this rule. Therefore the earliest  people falling into this category will be allowed to enter is probably late July or early August, and that's providing there is no 2nd wave. What restrictions or quarantines will be force then is anyone's guess.

PS. Apparently any exceptions to the above rules can only be approved by the PM.

Hope this helps in your future return arrangements.

Can you post some pictures of the 'hollow roof'. Will be easier for someone to help you.

????????????????Whatever you do I would avoid Ford Pattaya at all costs judging from another member on here with his ongoing problems with them... you could try the Bosch service centre at the Esso garage on Sukhumvit rd going towards Naklua... good reports about them or Autoboy at Na Jomtien ????

Actually maybe you shouldn't judge from what one member says, and tell people to avoid!!

I have been using FORD Pattaya every 6 months for 3 years. Found them to be very good.  Bookings are easy to make, they even call to confirm. You can watch the mechanics doing the service through the waiting room window. Two warranty issues I've had, have been fixed immediately.

I believe Ford Pattaya did not have a good reputation a few years ago, but they have definitely upped their game.

Well I had a similar problem but just in my lower legs and feet and also excessive pigmentation.

I had a ultra scan done (the whole body) and the result was bad blood circulation going in 

to my legs. So I had vascular surgery done and I feel better now.

Would appreciate if you could you give a bit more detailed information on your exact symptoms and procedures that were done and meds etc..either here or on PM. Thanks.

Some of the guys I see around Khon Kaen are with ladies of the night.

 

If you were walking with one in your home country or here, wouldn't you feel embarrassed and look away?

 

I used to be friendly with a lapdancer in Aberdeen and must admit I felt a tad embarrased one Saturday afternoon when walking down the main road with her and ignored my aunt Aggie who was waiting for the number 14 bus.

But only a tad!????

OP.. @Paradice lost   ...you didn't answer the question on whether you have a useable type of ATM or Debit card that can be used in a UK ATM machine.

Also another thought do you have 'Online banking'.

Because without Online banking or a useable card, then there is no way Bangkok Bank will transfer money out of your account without you physically being there.

Lawyers, Power of Attorney, Friends, even Embassies cannot access your money.

Answers please.

Because of the huge problems in Nissan Japan over the Ghosn affair, then yes Nissan does have monetary and management problems in japan, but whether this would affect Nissan worldwide (ie: thailand) is unknown.
