  1. i have been using XE on a regular basis to transfer GBP to THB. I have no complaints. it is the Thai Banks` fees that vary. enquire before deciding!
  2. It is not a new policy. The same thing happened to me in 2013 when living at a Ban in Surin Province.
  3. How many years has it been since we were told that the 90 Day reporting system had become available online? Perhaps employing one of the Foreign Digital Nomads to redesign the whole process starting with System Definition and User interfaces and implementation may resolve the current problems. If the IMO and Foreign Office have their own WAN it might be that they have not considered resilience as part of the System Definition prior to implementation. But we must also consider the fact that more success online means less tea money.!
  4. As I understand it,the UK Embassy has for many years stopped issuing affirmation of income letters.
  5. Thanks Dr. J. I guess you have taken over the late Ubon Joe's Desk!
  6. How does the initial application for a O visa work regarding 800k deposit in bank. Given that one has only just entered the country on a 30 day Exempt?
  7. Me too. I prefer the simple honest rural Ban inhabitants. Almost everyone in the village mucks in together for any occasion. Used by autocracy, bemused by bureaucracy, and conned by, Thai style 'democracy',
  8. Before the stable doors are closed the horses have bolted!
  9. Are there any plans being put forward by the new Thai administration for entering Free Trade Agreemets with UK and EU? What would be the pros and cons and would the benefits far outweigh the consequences of so doing?
  10. I plan to get married later this year after entering LOS with a 30 DAY VISA EXEMPTION. What must I do to obtain a Marriage Visa?
  11. I am aware of that, albeit after the fact! My post was intended as info not a query.
  12. My partner was fined 1600B in Feb because she did not renew the TM30 after my border run for another Visa. .
  13. I read somewhere that as long as I did not use the land borders and used airlines I could re-enter 6 times. Is this true?
  14. I recall a statement made in 2016 by the current PM asking the Thai rubber industry to diversify and expand manufacture of products made from the Thai latex. What results?
  15. I hope the definitions of Utubers and Influencers are concise and not open to interpretation by the various authorities. As is the case with other regulations in Thailand.
  16. Since when has it been decided that empathy, neglect, loneliness are only attributable to homo sapiens? I often wish that posters do some research before declaring their views?
  17. I arrived BKk with a 90 day return flight booked? I was under the impression that arriving on a Tourist visa exemption for 45 days and being able to get a further 45 day extension as this would be within the new March deadline extending visa exemption from 30 to 45 days.. I applied for the extension last week and I received just 30 days at Surin IO.. After querying this at the IO they confirmed that the 45 day rule does not apply to Extensions. This would mean a border bounce and a further payment. I presume I can enter again on a visa exempt but what duration would it be and would I be able to obtain another 30 extension. How many times can I do this? My airline ticket allows me to alter my return flight only once for a fee. Hence the need to know definitive dates for appropriate action. Anyone advise please!
  18. there is a Primary school across the road from the house i lived in from 2007 to 2021. they were 10-year-olds with younger passengers. sometimes with as many as 5 kids arriving and parking their bikes just out of the school grounds. i have seen the same kids after school going into town and watched Royal Plod stopping them and querying their lack of helmets. is there a consortium or club that enjoys membership of Plod and Motorbike accessory retailers.
