Thank you.

Pls post the link. I am not finding a fixed deposit rate above 1.80%

And for married couples the thresholds are the aggregate value of specified foreign financial assets of $400,000 or more at the end of the year or $600,000 or more at any time during the year

Read my clarifications I added 3 hours ago for better information

You can msg me if u want to know; don't want any fallout by publicizing the name. But I do need to clarify my earlier statement. My insurance policy states that pre-existing conditions are not covered during the first year of the policy unless the covered person has declared the pre-existing condition at the time of application AND the insurance company agrees to cover said pre-existing condition. Or, all pre-existing conditions not known at the time of the application are/willbe covered if having had continual policy coverage by the company for 3 successive years, and has had no symptoms or sought medical advice for a period of 5 years for a suspect condition before the inception of the first policy year. Apologize for my brevity of my first response; it was not totally correct. But still, never has my insurance company taken a position that something that they had covered was now a pre-condition at the time of the policy renewal.

That is simply not true. I have had health insurance with a Thai company for at least the last 10 years. The first year's policy limited the term of pre-condition exclusion so today I am covered for all noted pre-conditions I disclosed at the beginning policy AND no renewal has ever excluded conditions related to any treatment received in the year prior to renewal.

WRONG. I sent my passport renewal application to the US Embassy via Thai Post EMS late December AND received from the Embassy an email acknowledging their receipt within a week.

You SEND your application paperwork to the US Embassy by EITHER EMS or DHL...I sent mine late Dec via EMS. You purchase via Thai Post Mart the RETURN envelope which Thai Post will send to the US Embassy to send your new passport to you.

BOTH are needed to be sent w/the application

Absolutely agree...My wife and I have been married over 33 years! Longer than some of the IO's have been on planet earth.....

That is correct...last year I applied for my EOS on 20 March. My expiration of the then current EOS was 23 April..so basically I applied for my renewal 30 days before expiration. I was instructed to return on 21 May to pick up my new EOS....which I did and the expiration of the new (and every) EOS is on the 23rd of April...

I sent my passport off to Bangkok for renewal in December and received the new passport a mere 27 days later....what was disconcerting was that the Thai PostMart tracking number never was entered into their tracking system so even tho I was online from time to time searching for it the passport arrived without any prior notice...and no signature from the postal carrier was required. So if the Thai Post office is not inputting the PostMart tracking number when the Embassy sends the new passport, you may not realize if it has been mis-handled, mis-directed, delayed or lost...until it's too late....

CM Immigration web cites online reporting allowed beginning with 15 days before the due date and no 7 days before restrictions

Here in Chiang Mai at Bangkok Hospital I have always been given an estimate of costs, without my asking, whenever surgery was to be performed. The final bill has never exceeded the estimate.

It's on Middle Ring Road

Chiang Mai IMM requires filing a new TM30 when returning from an overseas trip even though you are returning to your same address as already on file with a TM30.

I do it all the time. Thai DL & US passport

Same here too. Interestingly, On 19 June 2024, my wife received her 7162 form dtd Jun. 06, 2024. We waited a few days to receive mine and it never arrived. Until yesterday. However, on 28 June 2024 she emailed hers back to the SSA. I proceeded to completed a blank form and mailed my 7162 form back to the SSA on 10 August 2024. Neither of us have received a second 7162 notice for failing to report in response to the first mailing. I'm going to complete the one I received yesterday and mail it back anyways. I reached out to the Philippines SSA for assistance in July and they were of no help....

When we've sold our cars, we include the First Class insurance as an incentive for the buyer to purchase our vehicles. To do this you need to notify your insurance carrier that you've sold the car and provide a copy of the new buyer(s) ID (& there may be additional docs) to your insurance carrier so they can send the new buyer a copy of the endorsed policy in their name.

Earlier this year when I renewed my annual extension of stay & demonstrating compliance with the minimum of 400K baht 2 months prior to applying, the IO required 2 sets of copies of every single page of my fixed account passbook, which has was opened 5+ years ago and never was less than 400K baht at anytime.

And I don't use an agent and never even had one police visit since I moved top my present address 10 years ago

Thanks for posting. What they had told me didn’t make sense. I’ve taken my Honda SUV to this emissions testing station for years without any problems. If I haven’t sold my Everest when my first emissions testing comes around, I’ll try other neighborhood emissions stations

I took my Ford Everest to a local emissions station to have them handle my renewal of my annual registration at the DLT. I was told that when my Everest required its’ emissions testing starting in 2026, I would have to take it to the local DLT center for them to perform the smog check as the weight of the Everest exceeded the maximum allowed for vehicle testing at the local emissions testing stations. Can anyone verify this to be a correct statement?

Yesterday while at CM IMM I asked if I would be required to submit an "updated" TM30 for my same/current address should I depart Thailand for a short holiday and return to my current/same address, the response was YES; is mandatory....
