Why should I mention that? I asked what the actual requirements where ( for BOTH options). Geeez, thaivisa has more than their fair share of barstool wisdom guys. -

Retirement Visa
Confuscious replied to Confuscious's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
For all the "barstool wisdom" replies to my post: Korat immigration started to ask in 2018 a proof that I had an income coming from abroad (despite that fact that I had 800,000 seasoned in a Thai bank). The "Affidavit of income" from the Thai Embassy was not sufficient proof as it was I who declared to have the income on the Affidavit and not who paid my pension. The Embassy was only stating proof that it was me who signed the Affidavit. I presented at Immigration the declaration from my Pension funds (for tax purposes), but as it was in Dutch, Immigration asked a legal translation of the document. Thus, I let a translator translate it into Thai. Since that day, I provide (together with the other documents), the declaration of the Pension Funds to Immigration together with the seasoned 800,000 Baht. Note to the Moderators: The replies about supplying a proof of income have totally nothing to do with the original post and are not asked for. -

I use money in the bank, IE 800,000 Baht method. NOT income. I get a certificate of my yearly income from the pension fund of my country, which is translated into Thai by an official translator. NOT from the embassy. Thanks for your information. -

Using money in Bank. No income letter needed for "Money in Bank", but I supply every year a signed and stamped document from my pension funds about my yearly income (with a translation into Thai) and that letter was accepted every year. -

A friend of mine (in Belgium), bought 2 years ago a new kitchen for his Thai restaurant at a fair. Price: more than 25,000 Euro. When the fair was over, the company was declared "broke" was dissolved. He never saw his new kitchen nor the 25,000 Euro. Cowboys are everywhere. Also, every day, another nutter is born.

Centipede found in "famous brand" of tinned fish
Confuscious replied to webfact's topic in Central Thailand
OK, she paid for the canned fish. But did she pay for the centipede? Otherwise she will be billed by the company for the centipede. -
"Chonburi police, as of now, proceeded to request the footage of the accident and questioned the injured for further investigation and legal charges." Here is the whole problem with Thai justice. If the pickup driver gets to buy the injured person (or his family) with some "hush money" there will never be any legal charges. In the mean time, the RTP can delay the case as long as they feel the need before going to the court. In most "civilised" countries, the case will be taken over immediatly from the police by a "Public Prosecutor" and will always and up in the Courts.

Since the death of ophtalmologist Waraluck there was a lot of newsflashes about people getting killed or getting injured on a "Zebra" crossing. But "the experts" will keep arguing .... In the meantime, the government is looking to implement the wearing of a helmet and respect the law on people getting a "legal" driver license. Dream on ..............................

Confuscious replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
If she was deported to Sweden, how can the Thai court sertence her to jail? Will the Thai Court ask Sweden nicelly to bring the woman back to Thailand? Samoe as the Thai courts are asking Interpol to bring the young lad in a Ferrari back to Thailand? -
Just read the news that Argentinia is cutting their export of Soya beans with 41 % worldwide. This will have a lot of implcations of the price and the amount of Soya worldwide in the shops. Wonder if Thailand is also importing Soya products from Argentinia. Link is not published here as it is not allowed, but the newsreport can be found in Google.

Why has the term "plain premiditated murder" changed lately to "ungrateful son"? Name a "spade" a "spade" and stop looking for excuses. -
