  1. I am over in the UK for a few months and am in the process of changing phones. I have successfully reinstalled and got access to my UK banking apps but not the Thai ones. With Bangkok bank I follow the options but it ends up telling me to call them. With SCB the app recognises me but fails to process the request. Has anyone successfully achieved this? Thanks
  2. You guess wrong. I have been legally married to a Thai citizen for 9 years and my wife gets no preferential treatment at all. If she applied for a settlement visa and starts the 5 year process, eventually if she lives in the UK predominently she would get settled status and a UK passport, but its not automatic just because you are married.
  3. You are only taking a low dose. The ones you can still get in Thailand are 1mg, take 2 of the ones you have for the full effect.
  4. Thats Xanax that you are taking then.
  5. You have 3 outcomes. 1. Overstay and pay 500 baht a day, possible but not probable problems in the future. 2. Overstay get caught by immigration and you will be deported. 3. As suggested visit immigration and get a 30 day extension, 1,900 baht.
  6. Have you ever heard of Google?
  7. Because she just ignores her and does her own thing. The mother being from Laos is in Thailand illegally and is worried about further interaction with the police.
  8. Unfortunately in villages this is allowed to go on. In my wifes village there is a Laos woman who was married to my wifes uncle. She has a 12 year old daughter who insists on seeing and going missing with an 18 year old. The mother cannot stop her, so she went to the local police. The police made his family pay compensation and now all is ok, she can see him with no intererance from anyone. What a nonsense.
  9. If they are polite and give good service of course. Its part of the saying thank you process.
  10. What are you on about, I didnt offer advice to overstay. Where did you gey that from?

  12. No a drug dealer or a girl.
  13. Yes of course. I am currently renewing mine 22 months early otherwise I will face only getting 10.5 months on my retirement extension when I renew next May. Note since Brexit they do not add up to 9 months from your old passport. It is renewed on the date they approve the application. This is because you cannot travel to Europe with a passport validity of more than 10 years.
  14. There is no such requirement to have a 12 month rental contract, nor is their a requirement to spend 12 months in Thailand. Many people including myself are only in Thailand for 7 - 8 months a year. Never heard of such a rule.
  15. Then 80% are 1 or the other.
  16. Please provide evidence of this naive statement. Yes some agents are a con. Most are legitimate and provide fully legal extensions processed legally by immigration. Just ask the 100's of expats living in Pattaya. My extension stamp is signed off by the same officer who signs all the extensions. 100% legal.
  17. Whenever I see someone with a man bag out and about town in the evening, I immediately think drug dealer. To me they look horrible and girly. Just my honest opinion
  18. Why are you coming on here and being confrontational. The people giving you advice @DrJack54and @BritTimare both knowledgeable people. I have my moments as well when I can be bothered and yes your plan is naive and nonsense.
  19. Listen to you Mr Angry. @BritTim always gives sound advice. What he has suggested is not an illegal dodge. Are you sure the problem is not with you? Have you applied on the correct visa section? These online applications are generic and not all sections are applicable. A simple explaination or an upload of a relevant document will suffice. Your rant and calling the form stupid just shows what type of person you are and why you are no longer married. Chill out or you will have a heart attack.
  20. Lol another person who does not have a clue. I am enjoying my retirements years living in Thailand on a Retitement extension. It only takes a few minutes to do a Google search and become acquainted with Thai visa options. Its much quicker than writing and asking a silly question on ASEAN NOW.
  21. I gave up reading after you quoted "triple entry tourist visa". These ended years ago. Get your terminolgy correct and state what visa you actually have and I am sure people will help you. The ignorance of some people who pretend to be grown ups astounds me.
  22. What? Stupid answer. He said least humid not most humid.
  23. Passport validity and expiry date is very important to be aware of, especially with an extension of stay. For example. My passport expires April 24 2025. My extension is renewed every May 24, currently valid until 2024. I realised the other day that I although my passport is valid until May 24 2025, that I will need a new passport before I apply for my next extension, otherwise I will only get an extension until the passport expiry date. This is no good for me as I always stay in Thailand until end of May for my yearly trip home. I therefore will be getting a new passport on my return to the Uk in 2 weeks even though I will still have roughly 22 months remaining on it. I do not want to renew it via VFS whilst in Thailand.
