when I go to get a 1 Yr extension of stay on my Retirement visa ( had 1 for 2 years now ) I have used an agent in the past but would like to do it myself but use the monthly transfer method ie 65k per month into Thai bank with my name only Question is can I transfer into my bank the 65k or over then immediately transfer it again into myself & wife's joint account for her to get access for monthly living expenses etc or is there a set time it has to stay in the account ? Regards

Hi I'm wondering if the monthly income method for retirement extension is OK using an online bank ( wise ) or does it have to be a thai bank , I believe you have to show 12 months of statements of 80k or over which will be no problem to me if online bank is OK Regards

I have 2 valid passports as I need for work ( have so I can have 1 passport away getting a visa for a country & still travel on the 2 nd one ) I work offshore so travel & work in different countries around the world

I have just recieved my 2nd uk passport ( concurrent passport ) I will be renewing my visa later in the year & am trying to find out if I can enter Thailand visa exempt on my new passport & give my other passport with retirement visa to Agent to renew my visa in my 1st passport as I need a passport to travel to work as will be in Thailand for 1 month before heading back to work When I got my visa last year the agent had my passport for 3 1/2 weeks & I only got it back night before my flight back to work & don't want to get myself in that situation again Anyone done this before or know of anyone that has done it Regards

UN Irish pub the big Irish breakfast is best in the city for me

You must have same sort of school run as me as Daughter's school is 30kms away so 120kms a day . I'm looking at buying a hybrid because at least have security of a petrol engine don't think Thailand is ready for electric cars just yet ( out in the villages where I am anyway )

I did 2 e-visa's from London but they were 1 year non o visa visas based on marriage as I have a thai wife & Daughter & they need you to show £10k in a bank account before receiving the visa so maybe you have been mixed up with that

Word of warning NEVER use power washer for cleaning roof tiles as my brother who is a roofer in the uk told me , He has had to replace whole roofs after people cleaned tiles with power washer as is makes the tiles porous & leak like hell .Only way to clean them is with a hard brush

Been looking for a new car to replace my 10 yr old Mazda cx5 having whittled it down to between the Toyota cross Hybrid or the Honda hrv hybrid ( need something economical as do a lot of kms ) This week had a look in past a nissan dealer & had a look at the Nissan kicks e power which is basically an electric car with a 3 cylinder petrol engine which is solely used as a generator to provide electricity for the electric motors which power the wheels so different from a hybrid as the engine doesn't power the wheels at all Does any one have any experience with this Compact SUV ? Regards

Thanks for the replies I wouldn't be driving more than 250kms in a day anyway & even if I did I would be stopping for food , toilet etc after around that stage anyway So would be able to charge if I went electric but also good to have the safety net of an engine if going hybrid also I suppose

Hi Have been looking to buy a new car & I do a lot of Km ( taking kids back & forth to school ) was looking at suv's mainly especially hybrids for good fuel economy such as hrv or Corolla cross etc but also been researching the BYD atto 3 which has been getting good reviews on YouTube etc but wondered if there are any owners that can put their views of ownership in Thailand regarding economy, ease of charging etc etc Cheers

What I meant is that in the uk it is known as a 2nd passport it's not called a concurrent passport , its also something that is not really known about & not broadcasted as its only available for certain situations ie business travel & travel to conflicting countries etc

Yes that is exactly what I want to apply for a 2nd passport, I don't want a concurrent passport I have to apply for a new passport but tell them it is a 2nd passport I'm applying for

Hi Australia passport must be different as there is no such thing as a concurrent uk passport but thanks anyeay

Hi I am trying to apply for a 2nd uk passport whilst living in Thailand ( Online) , I have a letter from my employer explaining why I need a 2nd passport but have noticed that It says I have to send my 1st passport to them ( I need it for work that's why I need a 2nd passport ) I downloaded & printed off the application form which has a " more information " part where you can state you are applying for a 2nd passport but this isn't in the online application I don't want to apply for another passport & they cancel my 1st one if they don't know its a 2nd passport Anyone successfully gotten a 2nd uk passport online ? Cheers

OK Guys Thanks , looks like I will just have to do it in Amsterdam when i get off the vessel next time as currently working in Holland Cheers

Hi My ENG1 ( Seafarers Medical) is due in a few months & would prefer to do it in Thailand as I live here , What is the latest info regarding places to do it etc I did my last one in the uk but know that could get it done at Bumrungrad in bkk but not sure if still can Any info gratefully recieved Cheers

I got a non o evisa in May last year . I applied online whilst on a ship I work on in Holland ( I'm a UK passport holder ) got my visa 2 days later no problem at all . Very easy & quick

Why not apply for the evisa from London that's what I have ( multi entry) no need to send your passport or to go to consulate as its all done online , Once approved you are sent the visa as a pdf file to your email & just print it off & present to immigration at Bangkok all very easy
