They said they couldn't give me full refund but 10,000 instead

Perfect, more than you able to sell it second-hand.

Any electronic or mobile device out of shop/open/used 5 min will lost about 20% immediately.

7-8k it's actual price unless shop agree to take it back. You need bargain several thousands thb to attract potential buyer.

Extremely convenient. For buyer. For seller (on ebay) not, fees high and slow withdrawal process. And if you want to withdraw from PP account to bank, it takes about 5 working days. I think you US citizen, because only for US PP using Direct Debit from/to accounts. All others can use only CC or Debit card and nothing more.

I use completely separated account from Kasikorn Bank to withdraw and Thai credit card for payment.

Just to confirm and even more, resident status is almost not useful for married person. You will still need WP and re-entry to have all what you have now. And 100k for residency too. Skip this, apply for citizenship. Good luck!

Tourist VISA

ED - VISA

Retirement VISA

Thailand Elite

Obtain VISA-s. Friend of mine stays on TR VISAS 3 years w/o problems, just show financial proof every time he obtain another VISA... The amount shown is 20k per month for individual, how much for family I not remember, not this case.

1 - CHECK stamp in passport officer put in. Do not need to "think", just CHECK 3 times.

2 - if anything incorrect, DO correction at border or at Immigration (not all time can be corrected at border)

3 - When she pays, she is accept she's guilty in violation of law.

Stories like this will be happen endlessly. I understand you want to help her, but I sure from now she will not forget this 20k fine and will check all stamps twice.

And this unclear reason to Cambodia trip w/o entering country.

They ask in January 100k on account, and I give then bankbook copy with 400k seasoned already for year extension. I obtain VISA without problems, but they are really strict.

Can be a member of Committee of Co-Owners. But not a manager, definitely.

If she approved already, there is no difference. This is a cash and it will be payed to seller. But generally bank will look what kind of property will be purchased. So, a little bit strange if she not approved to already specified condo unit...

There is also no visit to our home and no talking with office at home or neighbours occur. I think before, Immigration will visit first time always, but not, and office tell no one come and talk with them also, Maybe because we show a lot of documents, including house registration and chanote all in my name...

There also no strict-strict rules about update of fixed deposit date and about possible withdrawal w/lost interest. Woman who accept and check documents just noted deposit monthly update date, which is about 3 days before I applied for extension, and maturity/release date, she tell "when come next time please update to day of visit", but as ubonjoe tell already, no one ask anything except passport with consideration stamp. At least good point, because small interest from fixed deposit is better than nothing on saving account...

Officials tells they don't know when normal operation at CW will be resumed, and for 90 days I can send mail to Ladprao also. But I need to make report at the end of May next time,then I hope CW will work as usual.

Just returned, yes nothing even if they tell month ago I need to update passbook to date, and bank again not able to do this because of fixed deposit, and also transferring zero baht not able to to.. Worried about this, but all finished in 20 minutes - I give them passport, take number and in 20 min girl come out and give me stamped passport with +365 days. Great.

You can, the only one thing you need load balancer router and skilled person who can set up it... I can recommend MIkrotik, because they available in TH, but really without network engineer you can't set up it... I think you can order set up service from Thaimikrotik distributor.

Thank you so much, ubonjoe.

This is unclear for me, except updating bank book... Need to visit Lad Prao today for year extension stamp, now under consideration.

Will they need passport copies again, photos, letter from bank, etc? Please advice.

Regards,

1. 500 for account opening + entrance fee + annual fee = more than 1000, depends on card type.

2. Bank lady can have a commission if she issue new card for customer. Or branch have instructions from HQ and they just want to sell more services to customer.

3. The missing value is prediction of services for particular customer. People (even Thai people) save millions on their bank accounts, and no one know this particular guy earn 400 thb per day...

Yes, they have now promo and HK roundtrip ticket only 6500 THB.

PoE? I think you will need ubiquiti brand, and they have solid infrastructure e.g. cameras + switches/routers, can add WiFi later... PoE non-standard, 24v, so no 803.af compliant... http://www.ubnt.com

Last year changed flight date twice over phone without any problem.

As HK lover, I can recommend to stay AWAY from Kowloon area. Why? You will pay pretty same money for shopping area stay. HK is HK and this is Island. 15k x 5 days = 3000 per day. For this money you can stay for example in Wanchai area. WiFi Hotel I stayed last year, no-hassle and right on the Lockhard Rd, where (surprise) you can find thai-style eateries like shops in Gateway Ekkamai and spend about 300 THB in HK money for good meal. Looking for Harbourview is also option, as recommended before IBIS (just steps from MTR). Do not forget to purchase MTR tourist pass cards, 1-2 rides by airport express and unlimited travel in MTR for 3 (actually 4 days). My first impression was great, because I booked day tour around city with dinner @ Avenue of Stars while watching Light Show. Strongly recommended, look @ internet "HK Day tours". I was sceptical but this is really good - Man Mo Temple, Victoria Peak, Repulse Bay, Stanley, Wanchai Ferry, dinner... What more? Big Buddha and Cable Car journey amazing.

Thai Consulate @ Admiralty MTR, if you come for visa they welcome you especially if you British citizen.

DID Bangkok have reason for company. But for you is not needed at all. LINE, Viber, WhatsApp (soon) - they all have voice calls. Even Skype,

DID is for business, when you have BKK office and move around.

Cant be to careful....lots of horror stories.

The best thing to have your own agent working for you at place. As russian, I can tell the agent is very do his job in very professional manner. Horror story is, if buyer, who bought your property, oh, sorry - actually not it but company, and then "discovered" loan for car, some business project, etc. This happens before and will happen in the future. Selling company with debt, it's a "popular" thing... This is why agent must to check balance and other things.

Not need to worry, but if buyer pays deposit, I can advice to go yourself and finish deal and transfer money abroad. Esspecially, if you not have trusted person on your side at location...

Sorry, but visa runs are sometimes not affordable for people living on a small budget.

They better live in their home countries, but not come here and make a bad view from officials to another people of their nationality. Obtaining tourist visas is not a problem at all and 20k baht is eq. of 2 years of visa expenses for example double entrys and extensions.

Beware! Last time I wait 45 min in queue to immigration.

So, transfer money in 1,5 month in advance for your arrival. Then, when arrived, do not forget to update passbook immediately. Then, when your visa near end, go to Immigration and apply to conversion NON-O retirement, at the same time apply for extension. I think other members will correct me, if something wrong, but in this case you will no need to do tourist visa extension, you can stay under consideration and save 1900 thb, pay 1900 only for extension. Your money deposited will be matured already. before you make transfer, consult with bank, last time bank call my thai mobile while I was abroad, to confim transfer arrival and then put money to my account. Maybe you need to inform bank about incoming transfer? In my case bank wait until I authorise conversion and deposit by phone, but amount more than 50k usd...
