Go to your US Bank and ask about the new device for out of country verifications. It's called an RSA security device. I got mine from W.F. Bank and it works perfectly for making wire transfers and if you happen to use a different computer to sign into your accounts.

Well, doesn't have anything to do with Thailand, but I'm absolutely sure the Democrat Party in America has always claimed "higher taxes means more money"..... for the government. Some people are claiming that DHL & FedEx are no longer accepting "parcels". I'll find out if this is true, I'm sure.

Do the Thais 'not know' that "aligning" with China is aka taking over? One only has to look at some other neighbors.

4th shelf down on the right side of this photo. The second spray cans - green and purple - these are pyrethrum flower sprays and IMO, work the best for inside the house/ porch. The pyrethrum derivatives are non-toxic to humans, dogs & cats. Mosquitoes hate this stuff.

Interesting concept, and a ancient one - taxation without representation. As far as I know, "foreigners" do not get to vote or own land, so the "representation" is thinner than a hair.

And the Democrat Party in the USA loves him and his support. "When will they ever learn" as B.Dylan said. I think they won't ever learn.

I think this is because there is a tendency to develop leaks. So a yearly inspection might catch them.

Does this imply that "legal" 'sex toys' exist ?

Why would anyone "accept the results of a rigged election"? That's just common sense.

Harris is far to the socio-fascist left of Biden. He never made the decisions, during his almost 4 years. The fascist cabal made all the disastrous decisions - there are plenty. Imagine being so stupid that you'd vote for a proven failure system of government? Harris wouldn't actually make decisions either, but the reason many Democrats don't like her, is she lacks intelligence, not cunning. And cunning can't be trusted to bow to the socio-fascist puppetmasters.

Humans are more efficient at killing each other. Human nature hasn't changed, is a best guess. Humans are habitually slaves to their desires [including myself] So choosing the 'desire' is paramount in self-control. Since the science of mathematics has definitely disproven Darwin's theory, and the science of mathematical probabilities has proven a 'mind' behind the universe, maybe humans will self-examine again soon?

Mine says FTT on every deposit to Bangkok Bank NY - Bangkok Bank here in Chiang Mai prints the 12 month print out (usually takes two weeks or less) But I've noticed that the last 1 year renewal of NON-O, that the officer just looked at the summary from Bangkok Bank (required document) and simply added the print-out to the "finished stack". Maybe someone else looks at it later, during the "consideration period"?

I just did mine myself using the US Embassy "new" policy. More trouble than the previous renewal procedure 10 years ago. However, the Letter is a required document at Chiang Mai. Reading the instructions for "transfer of visa stamp", a verification from the Embassy is required. Since the US Embassy no longer issues such letters (along with many other services) you can download a form letter from them, stating as much. This was accepted by Thai Immigration and actually getting the que number to the "transfer visa" window, took about 3 hours total, including 30 minutes wait at the window counter.

Adding that this question is about transfer of visa stamp to new passport.

"Letter from the embassy to the Immigration Office asking for cooperation; " How to get this document from US Consulate Chiang Mai? The US website give no clue - just says "go to Thai Immigration to transfer stamp"

Well, the propaganda key here is "CNN" - antisemitic for years and no friend to Israel. IMO, the Israelis did not "bring this upon themselves". In 1993, the nation of Israel traded their land (Gaza) for peace with the PLO, a terrorist organization, first headed by the terrorist Yasser Arafat. Israel never received the "peace" part of the Accords. So now, repossession of the "land is the most reasonable option. Pundits can sit in Ivory Towers and claim that Israel should "do this or that", but it's really just virtue signaling. Using this kind of logic - here's what we would conclude: "tit for tat" - so how many babies would the Palestinians allow to be beheaded of their own? "Measured response" as the Ivory Tower apologists for Hamas suggest is foolish. Pearl Harbor bombing by Japan... everything would be "equitable", if we had just bombed a Japanese harbor? War is horrific, so if one wants to avoid consequences, don't start one.

I'm wondering, why 10,000 tourists of any nationalities welcome in Thailand, need to be "grappled with"? Are more Immigration Officers needed at the international airport entry points?

Yes, you're correct. This refers to people who regularly pay income taxes in Thailand. I imagine, it is Thai citizens, who earn money abroad and pay their taxes. A retired citizen from another country (not a Thai or a Thai passport holder) is not a "tax resident".

Actually, making a eunuch of him would not impair anything except his ability to impregnate female. Removing the testicles pre- puberty would lessen the "urge" but not remove it. Now, removing the penis would have the effect you're describing. Unfortunately, sick individuals that do this kind of stuff, could just start killing.... you never really know.

Yes, so much easier to pay in person and be id'ed in person. AND, actually SECURE.

So, I suppose you also had to make an arrangement with your bank to pre-verify your identity, for making a withdrawal from the "deposit account" that you use to get funds into Thailand? I use the monthly deposit (FTT) and usually have to withdraw some money for local expenses during a 30 day cycle - unlucky me - 6 1/2 weeks is longer than 30 days, so before I get the renewal done, I'll speak with the bank manager about the "problem". Thanks for your detailed response. "US citizen services" at the Consulate, now seems like an inconvenience, in this regard. I see that "other locations may not use the mail in renewal service" - just Thailand and maybe(? )some other countries/

So, I'm wondering why the "Checklist - U.S. Passport renewal by mail" states that "prepaid envelope cannot be accepted if you are applying for a U.S. passport in Thailand." Is this only referring to a first -time application? I also reviewed the US Consulate instructions and it seems that signing my name in front of a Consular official is not required. This hardly seems 'secure' - anyone could mail in these documents other than photos "less than 6 months old". I find this odd, since I renewed my passport in 2014, in person and it was so easy. I received my "expires in 2024" passport at the Consulate; now I just trust the Thai Post with all these documents and sign nothing? I suspect the "payment' has become the "identity verification" - the bank or paypal or c.c. verifies ?

Yes this is correct data I renewed .y USA passport in june 2023 you go to the USA website here in Bangkok it tells you the complete steps you have to mail in your current us passport to prove who you really are I renewed my US passport by making an appointment at the US Consulate in Chiang Mai. So, I appeared in person with my old passport. I have to renew by April 2024 - is the in-person option no longer available at the Consulate in CM?
