The Receipt Number is found on the Electronics Fund & Cash Deposit Instructions Sheet.

It is a 11 digit number also know as the Virtual Account ID.

It comes live at 12:00 noon on the business day after you make the payment at the bank.

Thanks folks for all the recommendations.

The multiple entry non-o visa based upon marriage from Savannakhet looks like exactly what I require.

Thanks again.

It's been good while it's lasted.

I've been travelling in and out of Thailand for years on visa exempt stamps, and as a consequence never took much interest in visa minutiae. Seeing that this may no longer be possible in the near future I'd like to get the forums opinion on the best alternatives.

My circumstances.

52 year old holder of 2 British passports. (For work reasons)

Married with a Thai wife and 3 dual nationality, Thai/British, children.

Engaged in freelance work outside Thailand for periods between 1 day and 63 days.

Return to Thailand between work assignments for periods between 1 day and 45 days.

Seasoned money in the bank.

My preference for any alternative would be to be able to do all the paperwork required at my local immigration office, Sri Racha, Chonburi, but if that's not possible it's not a biggie.

In the meantime, while it does last, I will continue to use the visa exempt option, alternating passports as much as I can - and the board may be interested to note that I returned recently, through DM, from a 2 day trip to Singapore and got a 30 day visa exempt stamp, in a passport with dozens of similar stamps, without an issue - but I think it wise to plan alternatives.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Thanks guys. Sent off the paper work for the UK police clearance, waiting for that to come back. 10 to 14 days they reckon.

Thanks Phil

I'm offshore at the moment. I'll give them a call next week when I'm back on the beach,

I did find this this link though so it looks promising.

I have the opportunity of some offshore work in Brazil in a couple of months.

Does anybody know if it is possible for a British passport holder to get a Brazilian work visa thru the Brazilian Embassy in Bangkok?

Or do I have to go back to the UK to get it done?

Thanks guys, you've answered all my questions.

No technical reason other than the signal loss over a long cable run.

Well I was thinking more along the lines of connecting the 2nd receiver to it own dish if there does not have to be a cable connection between the two receivers. I'd carry out this mod myself after the Tech's have gone.

I currently have the True Vision Gold package and may need to subscribe to the same service at a second location.

With the True Vision Gold package an additional service point (ASP) costs 282.48 Baht/month on top of the 1413 Baht for the 1st service point (according to their site). I guess that gets you an additional receiver for each ASP.

I presume additional service points are intended to be in the same residence but is there any technical reason why the ASP's cannot be in a different location as long as they are hooked up to the correct dish and LNB.

Nice one Willy, the rope a dope routine worked again.

There most definitely IS an address on Thai driving licenses.

As bino states, there is an address on Thai DLs.

Yeah, its on the back of the card in Thai script.

Hey Jimmyd

Picked up a kilo of Zurich Breakfast sausages at SS Sausage yesterday. Plenty in stock. They are a Belucky product.

We used to enjoy those Zurich breakfast sausages as well. We have not had them for a while, can't remember why we stopped buying them. Anyway we used to buy them in 1kg bags in Foodland and SS Naklua.

I'm going to SS tomorrow to get some smoked pork loin so will inquire what the story is with the sausages.

Just received a Secured Platinum Visa Credit Card from SCB.

No WP and was getting nowhere until I suggested I would deposit 200,000 in a 3 month Term account and then all the shutters came up and I was approved for a 100,000 limit card within days.

So there is no credit involved but its handy to have for the convenience.

Excellent. Thanks for the prompt reply Mario.

Another option is to get an extension for 60 days at immigration to visit your wife. The cost is 1900 baht.

Can I clarify this for my own peace of mind as i might have to do this soon.

I can get a 30 day visa exemption extended for 60 days by showing my wifes ID, housebook and our marriage certificate. All for 1900 B.

Itook my 2 year Fortuner only done 30.000km, they would not give <deleted> all for it, walked away.

Is that Fortuner still for sale HDRIDER?

Furnished or unfurnished?

I saw the NC10 on sale in the Samsung shop in Central, Pattaya yesterday. 16900B

Looking to get in touch with anyone providing painting or drawing lessons in the Ban Chang area.

Instruction in either Thai or English OK.

Am I reading case 2.24 right. You do not need any type of temporary visa (i.e. you can come in on a VOA) to get an automatic 60 days if you are an alien visiting your Thai spouse.

Anyone got the phone number for AOT taxis or know where their Pattaya office is. Cheers

That's a pity. Back to the drawing board.

Thanks Monty

I'd like to be able to use my Ipod Touch with my Nokia 3110c.

Is there a thumb drive size wireless router available I can hook up via USB cable to the Nokia which will allow me to pick up wifi on the Ipod Touch?
