  1. If you get the 20 year EV do you need to leave to renew it/keep it active or can you just stay for 20 years? Website info isn't clear.
  2. quite possible the 10 grand rule is person to person and doesn't apply for self to self.
  3. I'm under the impression that you can not transfer more than $9,999 per month from the states so just do it twice. (better hurry though, Biden and company are trying to lower that to $600) As for BKK bank in NYC, money sent using their routing number and your account number automatically goes into your account as THB (unless you have a foreign currency account)
  4. Since OP obviously doesn't need a job and just wants to have fun then get the Elite Visa for 5 million and don't worry for 5 years.
  5. As soon as you go into the immigration area and you see all the lines on the right, go straight instead to the single counter in the far left corner.
  6. They would not issue the work permit, only a letter of approval. You would need to take that to immigration with all the other paperwork and apply for a change from ED to Non-B. Unless your country is on the list of banned countries you may also need to do a border run and return on a 30 day exempt stamp. Welcome to the world of "Grey Laws" when it comes to immigration.
  7. Recently my wife and I went shopping for a new home for the boys. Having seen many ads for the new Tommy John's with roomy, comfort pouch I thought, what a nice surprise for the wife. The ads state through pictures and clever wording that wearing these will not only increase the size of the boys but belly fat will fall away, you get younger and suddenly have the body of a Greek god! I went home and stealthed away to the bedroom and slipped into a pair thinking how pleased the misses will be to see such a transformation after 17 years. Sadly, nothing happened upon donning the magic promise of Greek godliness. Looking down I still couldn't see my feet. My hair was still grey and white. Those 2 missing teeth were still missing and on top of it all, looking in the mirror I now had a soft, pliable gathering of cloth where once there was at least a hint of greatness in the 'ol tighty whities. Lies I tell you. Don't fall for it. We're thinking of writing a sternly worded letter to the president of the company.
  8. I rented everything until I figured out where I wanted to be. As the OP has stated he has been here 6 years, 1 could presume that's established. I've owned 5 motorcycles in my 22 years here. My favorite was the 2nd year release of the Tiger Joker! With the full leather kit it looked like a cross between a Schwinn with the leather streamers hanging from the handgrips to a full blown Harley tour bike with the saddlebags, padded sissy bar and front fork pouch. ???? Riding it was like sitting in your recliner with 120cc motor. My last (and current) is a Honda Phantom 200. Only bike I ever bought 2nd hand. Paid 55,000k and flew down to Krabi to buy it then rode it 1,200 km back home to Nakhon Nayok where it currently sits in the shed out back. Had 46k km on it when I bought it 10 years ago and parked it at 98k. It was parked 2 years ago when I moved to Bangkok so the wife and I wouldn't have to trade off commutes to spend more time together. (jobs - I worked the provinces while she got transferred to the main uni campus 3 years ago) I'll sell it for 5k if interested but you'd need to come get it. I'm now retired (taught for 21 years) and won't be back "home" until my wife retires in 7 years. Good project for the mechanically inclined.
  9. You should check Thai law because in the states an executor can't inherit. Also, it's illegal for her to withdraw money from any account that doesn't have her name on it. That's for a divorce - doesn't apply to death because you're still married.
  10. Pretty much any university with an art dept?
  11. Left for the states on 31 march and returned 2 days ago. Did our ATK test at home using the video app provided by the airlines. Took around 30 minutes start to finish including cert. We flew Austrian Air and test was required both for transit through Vienna and also for entering the states. 1 cert covered the whole thing. (app was Testifly from google app store) Seems most airlines have an app you can use from home. (United was our domestic link and offered their app as well)
  12. Actually, the airlines required compliance with Vienna AND the US. The good thing was that we didn't have to pay for the expensive PCR and worry about the 24hr before rule getting messed up since our flight left at 11:45pm. We downloaded the Testifly app and was able to find the Boson BioTech home test kit that matched their requirement and do the test on the same day as we left with results and accepted certificate within 10-20 minutes after testing completion. Now we won't/don't need anything to return as both Thailand and Switzerland no longer require any test.
  13. It may also be because you're Russian. Special accommodations are being made ATM for Russians and Ukrainians. Have you looked into an Elite Visa?
  14. Hope the eldest has stayed brushed up on Thai skills as they will be registered for the draft into military service upon arrival using the Thai passport. Has the 12 yr old been a monk yet? Couple of cultural items to check with the wife about.
  15. same with USTV247.TV - all channels now say either "Need VPN To Watch" or "This Channel Is Not Available Outside The US" Just started yesterday.
  16. My wife and I are leaving for America in 2 days. Up until this morning I've been under the impression that we needed to get a PCR test 24hrs before boarding. Then I received this in my email (we're transiting through Vienna on route to Chicago): When entering Germany, Austria, Canada and the USA, you also have the option of using test kits with a video-accompanied and verified self-test, which are available to you as an alternative to our trusted partner laboratories. You can use the tests conveniently at home or in your hotel and you will receive the test certificate including a QR-code by email afterwards.* Buy Verified Self-Test Germany, Austria, Canada and the USA * Important note: Verified self-tests are not accepted in all countries and/or only for certain categories of persons. Up until the day of your flight, the legal/regulatory requirements pertaining to your flight (including those relating to the test regulations), in particular those of the respective country of destination, may change. Please find out independently and in good time about any changes to the legal/regulatory requirements (including those relating to the test regulations) for entry into your destination country. See Lufthansa’s General Conditions of Carriage, Art. 13.1. Lufthansa cannot accept any responsibility in this regard. This seems to be a much easier, cheaper (10-30 baht each vs 3,000 baht each + 370 baht video fee for both) and less stressful way to get the certificate needed to fly. I'm a little confused still on which test qualifies and where to buy it.
  17. Almost correct - you'll also need your tax receipt for last year's taxes to renew your WP.
  18. She was injured AFTER being stabbed? Really? Then she sustained those injuries? Whoda thunk ????‍♂️
  19. OK, got it back to semi-normal. Did more searches and noticed a couple of places mentioned a reference to "High Contrast" so went back into control panel on my WIN10 and looked around til I found something that referenced "High Contrast" in the upper right side of 1 of the screens. It was checked "ON" so I clicked it off and WaaLaa. Now if I could get Edge back in English I'd be in business. No, going into settings and setting the display to English Only doesn't work now. Thai gremlins
  20. "I have tested positive today 23 March. I will be travelling to Thailand on 6 April on the test and go programme." Oh, I'm sorry. I must have misunderstood what you posted when you said "I WILL be traveling to Thailand...". ???? Quite obviously, my not being from the UK, I did not understand that "Will" and "Will Not" are interchangeable there.
  21. My computer. Was watching streaming TV on it last night when the entire background went black, desktop and all. Got the desktop back by resetting it under personalize but Google searches have turned up nothing beyond checking under settings but it did it to ALL browsers, Google, Chrome, Opera, Firefox and Edge.
  22. Yes she is - 1 of the smartest Thais I've ever met both academically and common sense wise. Naw, I'm not bias in the least. ???? Anyway, glad I could be of some help.
  23. I wouldn't date a girl who couldn't/wouldn't smoke the sausage.
  24. So, OP, you're posting; "Hi, I've recently been infected with a disease that has killed millions but still feel entitled to travel and possibly infect as many people as I come in contact with. How can I come to your house?" Does that about sum it up? Really? Stay home, please.
