I'll buy it off you. I'm in Bkk. RAZZ

What about "this insurance policy is not intended for foreigners and Thai nationals who currently live in Thailand"???

Did the last 7 reports online - but physically went to Samut Prakan Immigration today as I still couldn't get it to submit an application. IOS App said on overstay. Even the IO said they couldn't get it to work. RAZZ

I can't get past the first page - so no new extension date to add. I guess there is a problem with their system. RAZZ

Yes. RAZZ

Have done the last 7 90 reports online without a problem. Now can't submit after the first page. Tried the IOS app the emailed link to validate won't work. As other poster have said - online reporting only Started in 2016 (?) Sometimes this country is an embarrassment. RAZZ

Wow what an interesting company. BTW you have a typo on your website.

Surin - but the one at the Surin and Amanpuri hotels. RAZZ

Believe it when I see it... RAZZ

As above.

I live in Thailand on a Non-O. I am thinking about traveling back to the UK around Christmas/New Year. If I buy some presents etc or maybe an expensive watch can I claim the VAT back at the Airport? On this link http://vrtweb.rd.go.th/index.php/en/component/vrt/main?layout=faq it states: "Refunds will not be granted if you reside in Thailand or your stay exceeds 180 days." Is this correct? Many thanks

A mate in the UK (not on this forum) wants to marry his Laos gf and live there. I have read about SP-B3 that it's a paperwork nightmare and takes a bit of "greasing the wheels". https://laotiantimes.com/2018/09/14/foreigners-married-lao-citizens-spouse-visa/ Does anyone have any recent experience? Or if they can recommend any links he can read or Agent to use? This one is a bit old: chrome-extension://oemmndcbldboiebfnladdacbdfmadadm/https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/409097/Information_for_British_nationals_intending_to_marry_in_Lao_PDR.pdf Many thanks RAZZ

Right... I have been using Transferwise/Wise for a few years. It has always taken two days from my Nationwide Account to Bangkok Bank account. I have read how people from other banks receive their funds "in seconds". So posting on a Facebook Group there seems to be no rhyme to reason to this. "Bangkok Bank is TW's primary banking partner in Thailand. If the transfer needs to show up as foreign/international in the bank book with the bank code FTT, you must use the correct reason for the transfer, which is "Funds for long term stay in Thailand". To be 99,99% sure, you must contact TW and tell them to tag the account to Bangkok Bank. Then they will always use Bangkok Bank as receiving bank instead of their other 2 banking partners, Kasikorn Bank and Thai Military Bank. I have used TW since 2017 and Bangkok Bank is the receiving bank. My deposits always shows up as "International Transfer" = FTT in my bank book and in my bank account online. If using other banks than those 3 banking partners, then every single deposit will show up as an "Interbank Transfer" or the equivalent terminology at other banks." So - it appears that if you have Kasikorn or Thai Military Bank you will get a FTT/International transfer. - I assume the speed is also due to the way that these two banks fulfil their payments. Sofar - There is no-one who has come up with a specific reason if BANGKOK BANK transfers can be done more quickly using Transferwise. RAZZ
