Whose going to  enforce? 

Bank or SIM  provider? Never managed to  activate  facial recognition with Krungsri.  They didn't know what to do. BB recognition works intermittently. 

Who is going to trawl through SIM Nos and Account Nos to find a lack of matches. In fact they are looking for a needle in a haystack. Only way they can enforce this is to apply it on initial account application including  mobile app set up which is quite enough to  stop mule accounts.

Just like the  retrospective tightening up of tax on incoming transfers this is yet another example of floating an idea to see if it will fly! 

Destined not to work!

Enough problems with facial recognition!

And I use apps AND go on line when app doesn't work (frequently) which doesn't require a SIM.

Visits to my bank are a nightmare with long queues due to so many branches closing!

I won't  be booking Eva again as they gave my pre-booked aisle seat to a supposedly needier person alongside my family and moved me to a cramped window seat on the other side of the plane as a result of which I lost them on disenbarking and fell on the travelator whilst looking for them injuring my elbow

Get a wooden seat-plastic deteriorates in this heat and humidity 

Best to replace whole toilet if bolts corroded 

Did transfer yesterday using 'funds for long term stay' as usual-no questionnaire as usual. 

Wise would tell us if rules changed. Too much speculation especially as tax authorities probably monitoring web sites for ideas! 

Last pandemic prooved masks work especially when mass movement of tourists from originating countries is being encouraged. General reduction in upper respiratory tract infections whilst mask wearing abounded in countries able to acquire them.  Foolish not to use such a simple preventative.

Immigration only want to see incoming FTTs. I obtain Credit Advices for FTTs then give them back to my bank to certify for Immigration

It would be interesting to know, and the OP hasn't told us, why he is thinking of changing to a retirement extension, paying an agent 20,000 to bribe an immigration official, when he has a perfectly good marriage extension for half the financial requirement and no agent/bribe fee to pay. Surely paying 20,000 (and circumventing the law) rather than 'suffering' one day of inconvenience and providing a few forms and a bank letter isn't worth 20,000? But each to their own, I suppose. Some people have money to burn.

Firstly it's not a bribe-its payment for a service and secondly-some of us cannot  attend Immigration due to  ill  health

Setting fire to the forest is NOT sustainable agriculture. Last year the hills were ablaze  everywhere!

Semantics and word games, there is a near universal definition of what is a Tax Resident which has no bearing or relationship on or with Immigration status or lack of..

Except HMRC definition places me as tax resident in the UK as I had tax relief on my pension contributions which I must pay back as I receive my pension payments. Can't be tax resident in more than one country!

Problem is crop burning not vehicle exhaust. Need to  make crop buyers liable not individual  farmers

Just done mine. 

Applied am-approved pm same day. 

Jomtien seems to  sign off before they finish work 

No parking  anywhere  and the few toilets that exist are filthy. However if it keeps Bankokians away from Jomtien  then yes!!!

Sabco large flat microfibre dust mop, and a wash pad. about 700 wide and easy as pie to push about to collect the crumbs and dust. Then exchange for the mop head and wash da floors. If you buy an auto-robot vacuum then don't buy cheap ... they are crap.

 

Only method that works! 

Unfortunately robot floor cleaners can never clean as well as a maid and definitly not as well as  you can! 

Gave me one without me asking when I ordered  new card!  Can't think what I would use it for?

Yes, but they  added a question about CRS.

They say everybody has to fill in the form, Thais too.

 

The  funny thing is that in this form it is not possible to state that one is a foreigner,  but a tax resident only in Thailand. But that is actually the normal way things are, if a foreigner lives in Thailand. 

Only Americans are always subject to tax in their home country. 

 

Not so. 

I pay full income tax on my pensions in the UK despite  living in Thailand. UK has a dual tax treaty with Thailand.

If you  collect all the credit  advices from  BB you can present them back to  BB for your annual  statement  and they will provide the immigration documents immediately 

Even if you do select they can still move you. I picked 3 seats together for  family reserving an aisle seat for me and they bounced me to  a window seat in order to  give my seat to an 'ill' passenger. Won't be traveling  Eva Air again!

You are! 

Manager can change the locks to gain access 

Same on my last extension at JI. 

Agent took a photo of me in the  car in immigration  car park as my wheelchair  is broken and gave to officer

Have you tried oxymetazoline?

Brand name Otrivin-works for me! 

With the  state of Thai driving  footpaths and roads walking is a highly  hazardous pastime especially if you  finish  up in hospital with an exorbitant  bill!
