Probably held at Customs/Courier whilst they work out how much they can sting you for!

Best of luck with this.

You must have plenty of evidence of supporting your FIL and the natural justice of passing this onto his son who provided support and care. Unfortunately this behavior is common in Thai families and those that care are often trampled on by those that envy.

Again best of luck. The least you can achieve is to show the rest of the family up for their bad behaviour and await karma. They were expecting you to react to their land grab hence smuggling your FIL of to make a will. He probably thought he was spreading the benefit around not favouring anyone? Arithai12s response would really wind the family up and give you the last laugh but you have invested time and money into land you wanted to go to his Son.

 That is correct -monthly money

Surprised Jomtien ever let you get away with this? Quite clear they expect monthly FTTs into an account in your name only. If you subsequently transfer regularly to another joint account they don't seem to mind. Or make an arrangement with your bank for your wife to make withdrawals from your sole account which wouldn't appear on your bank book either. Just don't withdraw the value of the FTT immediately after the deposit. That might look a bit suspicious. They like to see your bank declaring an inward Foreign Telegraphic Transfer into your account on roughly the same day each month.

The exception being of course that annually your Embassy provides an income letter based on evidence you provide. Easy for Immigration and their customer s. Most can do this but a v few seem unable to perform this simple service.

Thanks for all your replies, I have already started printing out the deposits that go into my Thai Bank(Statement) to be safe I will also print out the statements from the Bank of America and  Citi Bank, I have one other deposit which is from Tesco(not sure what Bank yet) all deposits are from the UK.

You need the bank to print these out-credit advices- Immigration don't normally accept anything you print out- plus a one year statement certified by the bank when you apply. You have the USA Australian and UK Embassies to thank for this! Everyone else gets an income letter. Those embassies should revert to income letters to stop this nonsense.

Forget it. Customs and courier will screw you. Thais are very good at copying things to a high spec so just bring the specification. Probably save overall if you sell yours back home.

No!

Property is the biggest difference.

Thailand 2 bed 2 bathroom bungalow 3.5m BHT rent 13k pm

UK closer to 10.5m BHT if you can find one rent 100k pm.

Went in person for my 1st 90 Day Report, no problems.

 

Yesterday used their website for my 2nd report.

 

Wasted about 30 minutes till I found the spelling they would accept of my  Amphur and Tambon (using an "e" in both, not seen it spelled that way previously nor did most of my searches find their uncommon spelling but so be it, now I know).

 

Other than that, easy peasy.

No documents to upload, etc.

 

Once it accepted the spellings, received an email almost immediately:

"We have received your information successfully, you can find your information below."

 

4 minutes later received a 2nd email:

 

"Your application for "STAYING LONGER THAN 90 DAYS" has been approved."

 

Need to use the drop down menus

There must be a Superich AirBnB operating for stinking rich oligarchs fleeing accountability. Just because you have to flee your asset stripped country doesn't mean the luxury stops there. All quite reciprocal of course.

That's not correct. I have lots of mates on Marriage extensions using an agent method with no problems at all....and the parent visa is nearly identical to marriage. (An agent without spelling it out doesn't necesarilly have to be a third party farang run visa company or person).

Little point using an agent on a marriage/family extension as you still have to collect all the copies and certificates bank the required funds and obtain their certificates attend Immigration 2 or 3 times with your wife/children and risk further finance restrictions during the year. You do all the work and the agent gets a sizeable fee. Agent enabled retirement extensions however are relatively painless and a farang principal can explain it to you better.

After 10 yrs of doing my own marriage extensions and due to ill health I have finally succumbed to an agent enabled retirement extension! I think I have earned my retirement!

Outbreak of belts and or second hand seats screwed to load platforms on pickups?

I used Pattaya Klang driving school who have test track next to DLT office. They queued for me on the day at the DLT and I was 5th in the queue

But don't forget your manners

And bring all funds you make.

Anon!

No mention of pension?

I have a will that names my younger brother as executor and I have asked him to sort this out for my wife. Everything else is in her name. 

True drumming up business again. I watch 3 games on Saturdays and 2 on Sundays all live on  Thipmanee cable Pattaya. Don't have to pay extra!

Ditto ALL multiple occupied buildings eg condos offices schools hotels hospitals etc etc etc. Monthly should do the trick. Set off the alarm and count the escapees in their designated assembly zones. Sprinkler/ Misting retrofits also help as does regular inspections and certification by fire safety engineers. Simply setting fire to building materials will check flammability including poisonous gasses.

Sounds like good advice generally. Should include Thai on Thai as well as Thai on foreigner and then everyone is safe

Interestingly I used my agent in April this year to transfer the stamps and do 90 days together. I stayed at home.

IO told agent must to have letter from Oz embassy proving new passport.

I said no such letter exists. Lined copy of receipt from embassy to agent and "interpretation" solved.

Had a gut feeling it would be difficult and I have no desire to get into a argument with a IO.1????????

Ditto but UK embassy provided letter requesting Immigration transfer the stamps. Agent also renewed passport for me.

Just did my 90 day on line using the Immigration web site successfully. Note NOT using the apps. Used my new passport which Immigration 90 days ago had transferred the key stamps from my old passport and done a 90 day simultaneously. (Jomtien)

As I had done a previous 90 day based on my new passport I received approval the next day. Next time I expect to receive an email reminder as I have now linked the new passport to my email address plus email notifications of submission and approval. Key to all this is using the main Immigration URL and not the apps.

CANCEL! Pattaya is suffering from an extensive outbreak of the latest Omicron variant! Rank foolishness to hold any festivals!

I’m using the IMM eService App on iOS and it worked ok three months ago.

 

I tried to register above and it told me e-mail already registered. Going to use my App again today.

Best to use the link posted by Mutt Daeng. The apps certainly don't work for me. Just did mine on Sunday (Jomtien) Approved on Monday. When you check the status on the web site your completed TM 47 shows as a PDF and your next appointment comes up as a PDF as well for print off and insertion in your passport. Neither comes up as awaiting approval.

Just to note that yet again I have been unable to use the Immigration apps for 90 day reporting. They won't give me a new password so I end up going round in circles despite reloading them.

Website however works everytime. Reported on 24th and approved on 25th with emails issued receiving report and sending me the print out to put in my passport. My advice is use the Website not the App!

Proves that political neutrality pays in spades! Thailand always fills the gaps left by highbrow moralisers. Money talks votes don't! Can't complain too loudly as UK Torys speak the same language and do business with anyone especially those who inhabit the golden entitled gravy train with them.
