In my opinion, in the line "Your wife or Gf must have ben devastated ?", "ben" is obviously a typing error for "been".

BBL is the ticker symbol for Bangkok Bank Limited on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Ticker symbols are probably not an ideal way to refer to banks or to companies in general on this forum.

Moved this topic from The Lounge to Political Soapbox.

Thank you.

If a foreigner send the TM.47 "Form for alien to notify of staying longer than 90 days" is sent by postal mail, will he get the same reply from the immigration office?

On thaievisa.go.th, this so-called medical tourist visa appears to be: Visa Type: Non-Immigrant Visa Purpose of Visit: Medical treatment (longer than 60 days) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mVjrDxYHxrbaZ1bjdbTl5IWx_AtD_MQ_/view?usp=drivesdk

Thank you. That web page doesn't use the acronym MT or the term MT visa, though, and to the best of my knowledge, neither does the Immigration Bureau. I suggest it will be best also not to use it on this forum.

The fact is that I don't have any photo ID issued by the Swiss government showing my address: not my passport, not my national ID card, not my driving license, not my social security card. I do have the membership card with my photo and my Swiss address issued by the International Naturist Federation (INF).

What would an MT visa be? First time I hear about it.

My Swiss driving license does not have my address on it.

Airlines take no responsibility for the ads that pop up on their websites. They do not chose these ads themselves but subscribe to one or more ad servers.

Removed two off-topic posts and the replies thereto.

Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS) has no branch in Thailand, but an office and offers no bank accounts in Thailand. This makes discussion of the UBS off topic here.

Do they have the home country address on them?

There is some ambiguity about the meaning of 12:40 AM. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12-hour_clock?wprov=sfla1 What airline issued you a ticket using the AM/PM system instead of the 24-hour system?

Fake, in the sense that it is not the official TDAC website, which is https://tdac.immigration.go.th/arrival-card/#/home

Removed a troll post and the reply to it.

With the agent as the beneficiary of the life insurance?

There is no such law. Years ago, when I first tried to open a savings account with Siam Commercial Bank (SCB), they asked for a work permit, which I did not have, claiming it was the rule. I insisted on seeing this rule and a lawyer who happened to be next in the queue behind me supported me. The bank employee had to call head office for it, got it by fax, and when I read it, it was clear that their rule applied only to current accounts, aka checking accounts for which cheque books are given, not to savings accounts. The bank lady still refused to open the account for me. I walked down the road to another branch of the same bank and got my account without a problem. It is possible and probable that the bank rules have changed since then to apply the work permit rule to all types of accounts.

Mine is the antique licence on pink paper issued eons ago. Armed with everything including my yellow house registration book and pink ID card, I tried to get it changed to the knew type a few years ago but they told me the old one was still valid for driving, which I already knew, and if I really wanted the new card I would have to bring the certificate of residence issued by immigration. That was in Bangkok, and I'm holding on to the old licence.

One word of advice to all who apply for the yellow house registration book: give the district office all necessary names (your forenames and surname and your parents' forenames) in Thai script in the version already on file with that government entity, if that is the case. I had given the translator of my passport my name as shown on my driving licence and fortunately the district office checked it against the version on record as part of the marriage registration: the two versions were different and the official corrected it on my yellow book application.

Thank you.

Removed a post of mine which I made based on a misunderstanding, and the replies to it. (Time to see the eye doctor for a new prescription for lenses 🙂)
