I doubt anyone in existence questions how corrupt, dishonest, and dangerous the Thai military is, but when will someone do anything about it?

Same thing with the police.

How about all the dogs out there that have no owner and bite people?

I'm not sure about that.

However, in the UK they use "stool" testing.

The Devil's Chessboard

There would be unrest but not to the point of revolution.   Lawsuits would start ant take years in court.  By the time the court finished with it it wouldn't matter any more.

I read that there is now a blood test which works pretty good.

Err ... Ukraine became a sovereign state in 1991.

A  sovereign state controlled by Russia

The west needs to stay out of this mess.   Ukraine was Russian before the 2014 coup - they can be Russian again.

I have been doing my 90 day report by mail for several years and never had a problem until now.  This time I mailed my papers in 14 days before my 90 day report was due and now 30 days after “Due date” I have no letter back from Immigration.          So I go to immigration with my receipt from the post office which shows I mailed Jomtien Immigration an EMS letter.     The lady at the 90 day counter takes my passport and the receipt from the post office and goes into the main building  ---  comes back in a few minutes, gives me back my passport and tells me everything is “OK”.   The 90 day notification in my passport has not been replaced with a new one but it now has the date crossed out and a new date written across the top.    The new date is 80 days after the original report date ?     I will not try to do the next 90 day report by mail but I can see problems with this.    Anybody who is late could cross out the date and write in a new date.   I doubt that they will remember 6 weeks from now when I go for my next report,  that they are the people who crossed out the first date and wrote in a new date.  What should I do?

Improvement would require solutions. It will not happen in a vacuum. The govt. needs to grow a set of cajones, and stand up to Big Agra. Much harm is being done by local agricultural fires and forest fires caused by local burning. 

 

Also, using a poorly maintained diesel car or truck needs to result in a very harsh penalty. When extremely cheap and ignorant people refuse to change their oil for years in a diesel, the harm to the air is horrific. They need to meet an unpleasant fate. 

 

There are solutions. Srettha sloth is not helping. 

Changing oil in a diesel engine has little effect on the pollution created by that engine.    Changing the air filter will most of the time solve the problem of excessive black smoke.   

Can anyone recommend a CPA in the Pattaya area.     I think I will need some help filing my taxes. 

So now it looks like I have to become a "Member" to buy from PrikPot .    Is this part of the new normal ?

Your VA Disability is a Govt Pension and can not be taxed by Thailand per the DTA.

Does this mean that Social Security in non taxable?

If a person dies, normally nobody can legally withdraw funds without a legal will of the deceased person except if it is a joint account. A power of attorney ends with the death of the account owner. At least this is my understanding.

If it is a joint account can the surviving person access the account.     I ask this at my bank and the answer was "Come in and transfer the money as quick as you can"  which tell me that if the bank knows one of the account holders has died the account will be locked until a court rules on it.

Can anyone recommend a company who can help me file my US taxes.  I would like it to be in the Pattaya area.

I don't know if this is in the right forum --?? 

Does this mean it is OK to shoot someone robbing you ?

Were to go in Pattaya to get a booster?

They are afraid that you do a runner. What's the point of keeping the money in an account for a 'credit' card, as it is then, effectively, a debit card?

 

I just used my K-Bank debit card to book an international flight online. No problems.

Can you rent a car or book a hotel with your K-Bank debit card ?

Would a "Call Forwarding"  account work?

I have been doing my 90 day report through the mail for over a year now and the letter has always come back to me in a week or less.  This time it has been two weeks and no letter.   How long should I wait before going to immigration?   I have the EMS  receipt and tracking shows that my letter was delivered.

As per the previous posters - don't bother making an appointment because it will not be honoured when you arrive at the Jomtien office.

 

I had an appointment last Tuesday (22 February) for a 20 minute slot to extend my STV.  I, too, was told to join the queue with everybody else.

 

I had to attend and queue on three consecutive days to complete the process - despite having all the necessary paperwork on the first day.

 

Good luck !

OK     Thanks    -   I will not be surprised.

I know this has been covered but I can't find it right now.   Can someone give me the correct web site to make an appointment at Jomtien immigration

Not visa or extension related. Moved to the Marriage and Divorce Forum.

WoW  Joe    I would guess that more than 75% of the "New topics"  are not visa related - didn't know that was a rule.   Guess it only applies to me.  Sorry

Would the account be locked if the bank found out YOU (as a foreigner) had died? Unlikely either way. Probably best to ask the bank.

I'm guessing that as you're the joint account holder, the relatives would have no claim. Bet they wouldn't try to claim if it was overdrawn!

Seriously though, ensure you have an ATM card or online access to the account and withrdraw all funds to your own account before telling the bank. 

I've had joint accounts with my ex and really it serves no purpose. She'll have her own account anyway so just transfer to hers when she needs money.

 

By telling me to withdraw all the funds before telling the bank that my wife had died you must believe there could a problem if the bank knew first.      The reason we decided on a joint account (Which holds most of our money)  was to give the surviving spouse all the money without going through the hassles of a will.     I did ask the bank and the answer was much the same as yours  "Get the money out fast"   and that worries me.   If it has to be done fast it probably is not legal. Naturally the bank had nothing in writing.
