Ask them and they will say 30 days. This year they processed mine at 32 days prior. 45 days is the 'official' Thai Immigration number.

I would always go for the cashiers........they don't get out much.

I tried to input a Thailand address but it would not accept it.

I believe you do - or at least I had to for my friend in Lahansai yesterday.

Good stuff. Don't you need a UK address for the Government Gateway?

Good luck with that. If you find a clear cut, easily identifiable way to communicate with them (like a CHAT or email function that you might get with a bank app) please let me know. I spent ages yesterday trying for a friend and had to piggy back on something else to be able to communicate a message. about an incorrect tax code.

....and we never said ALL EU generated rules were bad - this one seems sensible so we retain. The sh1tty ones we dump.

I am just helping a friend in the identical situation. Somebody pointed out that he seemed to be paying too much tax. This probably goes back 10/11 years to the time his state pension was frozen. He has letters (previously used for the old British embassy income certification and also to show Immigration) confirming his weekly entitlement of GBP 135.84. HMRC make payments to WISE, every 28 days of GBP 543.36 which totals GBP 7,063.68. He spent 5 hours on the phone yesterday to various HMRC staff and he was told he was wrong (and had the phone put down on him by one arrogant a55hole who said "don't try and tell me how to do my job"). I eventually managed to create a Government Gateway tax account for him. It is appalling that there is not a freeform option to advise things like incorrect tax codes.. I found an online claim form where I there was a box where you could input text - so I set out the problem in the disparity between the actual state pension payment and the system generated state pension figure of GBP 9,738. That resulted in wrong tax codes being sent to the occupational pension provider. I have a reference number but fear that the outcome may be similar to the OP. As a back up it may be necessary to post correspondence, with supporting evidence, to HMRC in the UK. All this because HMRC screwed up and, so far, have not been able to recognise/admit their mistake. I wonder how many other people in Thailand are similarly affected.

You do waffle on..... You ONLY need 65k pm to satisfy Immigration requirements; I know several people who spend less than that and build a surplus. Obviously you need an adequate amount of (say, Sterling) to make exactly 65k payments every month. I send around 200k p.m. but that is my personal circumstances - one payment of 65k for obvious identification purposes and other amounts as required........... Kasikorn Bank actually certified 2m Baht of payments (with at least 65k p.m.) for me and Jomtien were happy with that.

If you transfer 65k pm Forex is irrelevant.....the same amount is received into the Thai bank every month.

In a nutshell. That would most certainly be progress and a stepping stone towards what might be achievable. Step by step, slowly slowly catch a monkey. Anything too pacey will hasten he next coup. Keep the Thaksin mafia out - any heavy involvement will also hasten the next coup. Short steps towards democracy, I don't think that the Thai population are ready for anything more.

Fair response.

You need to lose your fixation with balls!

Lalisa Manobal from Blackpink hasn't done bad either....

It was the bail changes that did it for me.

....and they will see a team that is superior in nearly all departments to Aussie side.

....or bat.......weather....umpire.......winning/losing the toss......or just bad luck...

...it was the pop and string mush that I had in mind....................

The music is largely dull as dish water (with a few notable exceptions) unless you get off on Morlam or Kantrum. I don't know anyone who would stay for the music!

Seems that the Royal Thai Embassy are using the same brush! FAQ about Thai visa 1. I would like to go to Thailand for vacation for 2 weeks. I hold British passport. Do I need a visa? Nationals of the United Kingdom and over 40 other countries are eligible to travel to Thailand, for tourism purpose, with the exemption of visa and are permitted to stay in Thailand for a period of not exceeding 30 days. Therefore, you do not need a visa. However, please make sure that you are in possession of a passport valid for at least 6 months, a round-trip air ticket, and adequate finances equivalent to at least 20,000 Baht (450 pounds) per person or 40,000 Baht (900 pounds) per family. Otherwise, you maybe inconvenienced upon entry into the country. Furthermore, foreigners who enter Thailand under this Tourist Visa Exemption Scheme may re-enter and stay in Thailand for a cumulative duration of stay of not exceeding 90 days within any 6-month period from the date of first entry. https://london.thaiembassy.org/en/page/84498-faq?menu=5d6636cd15e39c3bd00072ef

Unfortunately, no one has got round to advising the UK government. https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/thailand/entry-requirements#:~:text=Passport validity requirements from when you enter Thailand. Passport validity requirements Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from when you enter Thailand. You could be refused entry to Thailand if your passport is damaged or has pages missing. If you’re a dual national, to avoid problems at immigration, you must leave Thailand on the same passport you used to enter. If you need to renew or apply for a new British passport, see overseas British passport applications.

You have evaded the question. What an Immigration office(r) will say (should you be stupid enough to approach them) is irrelevant.

LOL! Absolutely no risk of not finding one....

Are you really suggesting that such an out of province extension would not be valid,?

Difficult to reassure you if you don't say who the agent is.....
