  1. Would they need to fly back? don't they get a criminal record check for work visas? also getting an OA in UK requires it, must be done online
  2. Yep, if i wouldn't use a pool why would i want one. Back in UK virtually zero apartments have pools. Where i eventually bought hardly anyone uses the pool
  3. Yes home country. They need to flush out those with a tendency to commit crime, even 15 years ago
  4. Sounds like you were too slow at tracking down the money and investigating your account
  5. Just passed it, never stayed there. Pools are unnecessary really, most people use for a few weeks then never again. I was looking for a condo with no pool, only 2 in Pattaya i could find, one being Pattaya Pad. I live Pratumnak now, so glad i chose that condo
  6. Need to keep accounts active, obviously, minimum balance and some transfers or payments every year
  7. Well, maybe agents will double what they currently charge, if 800k goes up. Stupid anyway, criminal record check 1 time only is the solution
  8. With the 800k being dead money, worth less and less every year not sure why anyone would be happy with it increasing
  9. I like Soi Arunothai, same soi as Nirun, so i checked out Pattaya Pad, another cheap place, no pool which was a positive at the time, one of the things that put me off was an elderly American with dementia or something shouting and making a scene about nothing, you get these types too in last chance saloon
  10. if you go in the morning you can pick up 2pm same day. Need the following Passport and copies incl visa and extension pages 2 photos Copy lease agreement (in your case) 300 baht They will tell you if anything missing
  11. Yep a criminal record check when people first apply for a retirement extension makes a lot of sense, I've said they should have been doing that for years, they can choose to ignore petty crimes etc from long ago if they wish
  12. Problem is many people make mistakes, maybe buy in girlfriends name, then there's the illegal Thai company, they usually aren't aware of the yearly accounting fees and the tax liability when the company closes
  13. Obviously you need to sort out your worries to get peace of mind
  14. Opens ok for me, file is emailed to you then click on it, you will be prompted to pick an app to use, i use adobe You can view details by clicking on the attached file and entering the following password. The password format is: DDMMYYYY DD is your date of birth MM is your month of birth YYYY is your year of birth For example, if your birthday is 5 January 1970, your password is 05011970.
  15. i kept seeing defamation type posts on Facebook about Buzzin, a few people obviously didn't like him, i wonder what happened to that
  16. on that subject i hope you have enough money to cover all those medical excluded pre-existing conditions
  17. if foreign quota not available, getting condo in thai name or company name gets you the booby prize
  18. as they see fit I don't know, but didn't Coutts do that and see what happened
  19. Different, but obviously a connection and no law saying UK expats can't have a UK account
  20. Are you still doing boring tourist temple treks? best avoided, can't say i know them all but there's a big budda at the top of Pratumnak hill if that's what you mean. Have you been to Nang Ram beach? probably the best, very popular with Thais, few tourists
  21. I thought everyone walked round their condo in boxers?
  22. Thai name condos are undesirable by everyone incl Thais, of course cheaper
