Couple of years ago I only had one set signed and stamped, they did not complain.

Cheers mate will try my luck then.

Just took my 3 sets of documents (original and 2 copies) to a JP. He would only sign the 2 copies, refused to sign the original set as it would "deface" the original. I assume the Thai Embassy in Canberra will want all 3 sets signed? If so, how the <deleted> do I get a JP to do it?

 I doubt they have ordered any of the others either, as they are relying on the Chula vaccine which may or may not work (their Ebola vaccine didn’t). 

Maybe spend 30 seconds on Google before making incorrect statements:

 

Today (12 October 2020), the Thai Ministry of Public Health, AstraZeneca, Siam Bioscience and SCG announced their intent to manufacture the University of Oxford’s potential COVID-19 vaccine in Thailand. If the vaccine is successful, Thailand will receive doses with the aim of commencing the vaccination of the Thai population in the first half of 2021.

What if you are already covered under the Thai social security / hospital system from previously having worked in the country? Would you still need to get health insurance even though you are already covered as much as any Thai person?

Thanks Joe.

Hi all,

 

Australian under 50 years of age. Coming off 2 years of stay with Non Imm B/Work Permit so no tourist entries of any kind for the last 2 years.

 

My question is if I exit after my current Non Imm B expires and then try and re-enter a week later under a waiver will an IO give me any grief or do they just look at how long since the previous tourist entries?

 

Cheers.

Here is an example of recourse for a bad medical treatment in Thailand. How would you feel about getting 240,000 baht for this? Apologies if I ruin anyones dinner/breakfast.

That takes more stoicism than most of us have any wish to try to summon up.

 

Especially for the colonoscopy!

At Memorial they seem to have different clinics. GI seems like its the right one. Anyone know what Ent. clinic is?

 

Would i just go to reception and ask to see the specialist doctor mentioned at the clinic? as opposed to seeing the standard doctor first.

 

It won't let me attach a screenprint.

ENT prob Ear Nose Throat

You are asking the wrong people. There is one thread quoting an IO that states Pensions only. There is another thread quoting a (different) IO that any income is fine.

 

Ask your IO.

I need the straight dope. NONE......and I do mean NONE of the so-called "visa services" are answering email inquiries, though they all have provisions to do that. I need to know if I can be helped. Money is not really the issue, since I make more than enough to satisfy the requirements for a visa: Either retirement or marriage, I do plan to do the marriage route, despite the hassles, Half my income is in the USA and half is in a Thai bank. At least two You-Tube video services have told me that i am screwed, to find another country;. I am willing to talk with any knowledgeable human, using the private message feature, as long as they are not selling snake oil. I have plenty of time, since I don't renew until October. With the arrangements I have made already, this has the potential of ruining my life. if anyone can at least point me in the right direction. it would be a livesaver (quite literally). I can get nothing but insults and comments like (you should have planned more carefully. If you have suggestions, I;m listening to any privage message you may have. This is a situation with truly horrible consequestions, which I won't go into.. If you have suggestions, I am likely to be awake since I have not slept in three days. I will never put my fate into the hands of a Thai again. Thanks for any help.

Since you have been scant on details I assume you are wanting the "straight dope" on the income method? Surely by now after so many topics you must know that nobody can give you a clear answer because nobody truly knows. You have until October, just start transferring as much "income" as you can each month (40k for marriage) making sure it shows as a foreign xfer. Over the next 2-3 months I'm pretty confident things will become more clear. At the moment confusion reigns so no point getting worked up about it yet.

For a Thai the exchange rate does not matter. The exchange rate only matters to tourists, and tourism is a very small part of GDP.

Please don't feed the troll. If this is an (academic) economists take on exchange rates then clearly he is just a troll.

Yes! Say no more. You have not included the tens of thousands in other cities. Nor have you included the thousands of small protests in towns all over Australia.

But of course your choice of avatar would indicate to all Aussies that you would have the mindset you display - no offence to Barry Humphries, your avatar was his way of sending up racist, boozy ockers.

Speaking of avatars...you are SOOOO ashamed...yet it would seem your employment is digging up the sacred ground of aborigines? Since they slap a native title claim over every square inch they can then it is all sacred. If you are so ashamed maybe you should give up your job...your house and everything else you have gained by way of your forefathers "invasion". Nah didn't think so.

I was asking RWILL but thanks.

He meant it was mentioned in an interview with the head of immigration (Big Joke) who stated he is working on amendments to current laws, one of which was abolishing 90 day reports.

Don't worry Big Joke is trying to abolish 90 day reporting.

If you have some time on your hands this is a interesting watch. Sure, he did take juicing to the next level...

Hope her degrees weren't in Economics.

So the 500 that the employee pays in fact the company pays them and trusts them to pay to SS or the company deducts it from their pay and handles it for them, like in the UK?

 

The employer does it all so they would pay the employees 500 (which was held back from their salary) plus the employers contribution of 500 directly to SS on the same form.

AFAIK:

b) Both. 5% to a maximum of 750 baht. So for example:

 

Staff member 1 salary 10,000 per month. You pay them 9,500 the other 500 (5%) goes to SS along with another 500 (5%) from the company.

Staff member 2 salary 20,000 per month. You pay them 19,250 and the other 750 (not 5% as that would exceed the 750 max) goes to SS along with another 750 from the company.

Got it, thanks for the edit.
