This is a long thread already so not sure if this has been said-

My landlord has successfully used a sonic device in three different houses.

It emits a sound that humans cannot hear, but apparently the rats find the noise very disturbing and they quickly leave.

So if someone has signing power on an account they are technically breaking the law if they take out any funds after the other party to the account dies?

Do you know of anywhere I can read about this?

When I asked my banker she said "mai pen rai"

My line of thinking about the bank account once you pass away....

I would most prefer that my Japanese daughter takes all of the money out of my account, as soon as possible, rather than needing an intermediary.

So, IF the police or other authority is not informing the bank of my death.... my daughter who is a co-signer on my account, should have little trouble clearing out my account.

Again, my bank said this is usually easy to do, but hoping to get someone with specific knowledge here.

In many Western countries a person's bank accounts all get blocked within about 24-48 hours after they pass away, since a system is in place to monitor all of this.

My bank here said that such a system does not yet exist here.

So, if one dies, and the police or other people come, is it likely that the bank gets noticed and bank accounts blocked/frozen?

I am thinking this will not happen, but not at all sure.

How does one find out the fees before coming to the clinic?

Ok. Thanks Joe!

So I am left wondering...

Should I go to Immig. showing that I went away for 3 weeks and am now back, or just continue to do nothing this time around, as I am still living in the same location?

Here in Chiang Rai, I have done this before on my own.

Ok.

As always, thanks Joe!

Hi,

What do you mean by "old registration slip"?

And will I receive some sort of fine?

I live in Chiang Rai- I came back into the country about 5 days ago and did not report into Immig. I have done the same in the past without any problems. Should I just "do nothing" or go and report in late?

Two points-

1. The form you directed us to Joe, shows a form for CM and Bangkok only. What will I use living in Chiang Rai?

2. The form states- money received from the US.

I get about $500 a month from US Social Security and about $500 a month from Japanese social security (Nenkin). Can I still get the US Embassy to accept what I tell them? 

Ok. Thanks folks!

Hmm, ok. and they don't expect to see the form in your passport?

I came back into Thailand on Sept. 22. and I was originally supposed to do my 90 day reporting on Sept. 24.

I thought at the airport they would take the card out of my passport that said I needed to report on Sept. 24th, but they said "No."

No worries about reporting 90 days after Sept. 22?

Ok, so just a passport and a picture.

thanks to all!

And the TM47 form I can get at the airport?

Do I need anything other than my passport?

Swampy.

Ah hah, I was not thinking clearly enough.

I leave the country on Sept. 4 and was meant to report on Sept. 24.

This is all negated by my leaving and I get another 90 day report, 90 days after returning on Sept. 22. Is that it?

And one more question if you don't mind.

When leaving I will have a 3 hour layover in BKK. Is getting a new re-entry permit safe to do at the airport with that amount of time?

Oh.. And,

What will I need to show them?

As always... Thanks Joe!

My understanding is that we can report up to 7 days late with no penalty.

Am I correct?

My day to report is a Saturday, and I was planning going in on Monday as I will not be in country prior to Friday evening.

I have no followed each and every post because there has been so many......

So, Bangkok Bank tells me I would have to pay 1%, or rather the manager at my branch.

I told her I would be sending B1 mil or more.

Somehow I don't think she is trying to make a bit of extra on the side, because if I did ever seriously question this and she got called up by a superior, I don't think they are all in on "it".

So, I wonder what is what.

As far as Bangkok Bank goes, I was told just last week that they would charge a 1% fee of the total sent out of the country.

Is that credible?

Thanks for the clarification.

The clearest to me being- You earn money in Thailand and then want to send it overseas. 

I was under the impression (after being told this by my bank manager) that you cannot simply send money out of Thailand unless you can prove that you first brought the money into Thailand. When I make this statement I am not referring to what an ongoing company might be able to do. I am talking what an individual is able to do. I am also not talking about wanting to send $100 somewhere. 

Did I get incorrect info from my bank manager?
