This is why youngsters get Pfizer and Moderna in the UK and oldsters get AZ

After the UK embassy reneged on income letters I had a similar problem with Wise and rang them to get my account flagged for BB and 2 years and 70 FTTs later have never had a problem. Since then Wise have introduced 'funds for long term stay' as a drop down to stop the problem reoccurring but to make sure I only use my BB acc for immigration.

Phuket kicks off AstraZeneca booster shots using under skin method
chilly07 replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
Maybe increasing the nos of shots per vial allows a commensurate increase in the price per vial and thus a commensurate increase in profit 'share'? -

Change from 800k bank balance to 65k per month
chilly07 replied to Twod0gs's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Wise transfers do show up as FTTs in your Thai account as long as you tick the Funds for long term stay in the drop down menu. Best to ensure the funds hit your account on the same day give or take a couple each month. Works for me using Wise and Bangkok Bank for last three extensions -
Covid - is the Thai target of 70% vaccinated reachable?

So glad Jomtien Immigration is using QueQ. You just pick an appointment time and confirm it on the day. This gives you a appointment number which appears on their electronic display. No queueing at all. Gives you plenty of time to do the banking business. Don't understand why Chang Wattana doesn't use this as it reduces Covid risk for staff and customers

Just get travel insurance which will cover preexistings the only drawback being cover stops when you are capable of being repatriated which they pay for. Cover possible 75 plus.

Absolute lunacy! Injections into muscle ensures best immune response as it avoids fat and also distributes the vaccine more rapidly via the blood and lymph systems. Also it reduces the reaction at the injection site as the circulatory systems move the Vaccine quickly away which is why we don't feel the injection in the first place.

In my case I pay UK tax on all my UK pensions before they are paid into my UK account so under the double tax agreement with Thailand I don't pay Thai tax. I did discuss Qrops with my UK financial advisor which involves transferring private pensions to say Australia or an off shore bank and then getting them paid gross into my Thai bank net of Thai tax which is at a lower rate and it is here that transferring in the following year that it is earnt comes in but I believe this applies to earnt income not pensions. I decided I was risk adverse and opted for taxing in the UK as I didn't fancy arguing the point with Thai Revenue. Qrops also allows for the entire pension fund to be bequeathed to my wife so a tax/ financial advisor can assist if you have a risk appetite.

Make sure it is well used before traveling and get a bike bag. Under no circumstances keep it in its delivery packaging. If it was me I would buy one in Thailand and yes Thai customs will try to levy duty and other charges including an import licence. Under no circumstances involve a courier as they are in cahoots with Customs. We got all our household stuff delivered in 8 boxes in a container by a removal firm/shipping agent from the UK without any duty or licence without any of the boxes being opened but it took 6 mths

BP hospital buying Moderna vaccine, how do you pay?

Tried it myself but can't get passed the Buy Now on Line as it is greyed out. Same thing happens going in via Facebook -

Even the international schools have to do a significant percentage of the Thai curriculum and if you don't watch them they will increase that percentage to save costs ie Thai teachers are cheaper than foreign ones. And even though some say they follow GCSE curriculum students still have to sit exams at the British Council as well as sitting the normal Thai matriculation exams to be eligible for Thai Universities. Transferring to western Universities is only possible by paying exorbitant fees three times those of a native student

Covid insurance for 78 year-old
chilly07 replied to AlaskaDave's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Travel insurance will cover over 75s but will insist on repatriation after initial treatment
