Hi! are we all still here? This is really useful for me. My school will help but we're a 2 man-band so I like to get info too. My work permit expires 20/12/17 and my nob b 31/12/17. How long it expires before can I renew my work visa? and how long before can I renew my non b? thank you

p.s i am presuming we go work permit, visa, back to ministry of labour but perhaps only 2 visits. My offices are Sri Racha immi and Chon Buri labour.

Hi all, already shared the bank I think - NatWest. 1150 ain't bad but I live in Chonburi....Got a lady at work hunting an accountant. Looked at the website but no easy direct links. step by step! the form's actually a bit of a nightmare - they ned the past year so I have to give them my UK details, but with dates, do I put from 16 years of age?! I plan to call them to go through the form when I have the certification.....drama = life!!

Yes, apparently Thailand may request info as if I have any income from the UK I could have to pay tax on it in Thailand?! Crazy stuff! Thanks so much for the info KittenKong. British Embassy BKK want 1150, have found 2 lawyers in pattaya at 1000 and got my office manager at work on it too! Would prefer 500 so may check out Soi Post Office, though I'm based in Bang Saen, one more Q: Can anyone decipher which 'TIN' I use as I have lots of different numbers.....

Hi,

My UK bank (NatWest), need me to declare my tax residency. I can handle the form, BUT they need a certified copy of my passport (all pages from the looks of it).

I'm in Bang Saen. Does anyone know anyone someone in Bang Saen/Chon Buri/Pattaya or BKK who could do it for a reasonable fee? 
 

yeah the 10 friends bit. people do come here, people do get drunk, but if it was way out of town then that wasn't such a clever idea to stay on her own....but very unfortunate luck.

she is a lesbian, she's not interested in men! so no he said she said. I want to say something about it probably not hurting too much, if you catch my drift. She sounds very strong and I applaud her attitude and bravery.

a traditional country where they can often ask their neighbour/aunty/cousin for the help they need. An insular, debatably xenophobic country to some extent. And a big yes to the English Language factor - most of my students only search in Thai. I show them things in class and they are completely in awe of what exists. Searching only in Thai script is very limited. I'm used to it now, and sites such as Lazada have sprung up, and online food delivery. We'll get there.....slowly!

at last. I at least cover the topic in esl lessons and uni students are slightly aware - others think it is a 'fad'. hopefully if we make it trendy enough there could be a real shift. Even saw 'reuse recycle' written on a dunkin donuts box. ABOUT TIME!!

what a pile of racists on this forum! might have to stop reading it? Aren't there enough problems with prejudice rather than speculating about absurd ideas. Really nasty and negative.

I think I have all the answers so unless anyone else has some really solid info we can close this! thanks

it is valid until 2020. it's nearly full and is not really valid as I've applied for a replacement already.

thank you. there is nearly a whole page for stamps so should be OK. I only need 30 days and think at this stage tourist is the way to go. I was concerned about flying and the computer systems hence the malaysian border instead, flying to hat yai then taking the bus...

thanks to NZ especially

yes, already knew about the 'id purposes' etc. I can't get an ETD for purposes of visa so......thanks all, but i'm stuck between a rock and a hard place, ie, 'simple language' - i can't stay until my new passport comes, I can't get an ETD, so i have to go, but can't really travel on my old passport or etc so....!! I shall do the best I can!

good advice all round and much appreciated - haven't chewed the fat with anyone about it so thanks guys

thank you so much. would it show up on airport systems if I flew to malaysia for example do you think? I can't extend my non-B due to paperwork issues for the company. I'm also leaving on July 1st for England. My idea was to be on a tourist for 1 month, leave, and sort it in England or when I come back!

Hi,

I applied for my new UK passport on Monday. Today at Chaeng Wattana I had problems extending my non-B. My visa expires on the 2nd June. I feel my best option is to come back in on a tourist exempt 30 day. My passport is valid but nearly full. I can't go to Cambodia because of the space it requires for their visa. I am not entirely sure if my passport has been cancelled in the UK, but I still have it intact. I am hoping it will be good to cross over tomorrow or Thursday in Malaysia. Can anyone advise whether their system may pick up that I have applied for a new passport, making me in nomansland? I know that to fly would be a big no-no. Hope this makes sense - if not, please ask for clarification. I would really appreciate any advice anyone can give on this matter (I wouldn't have applied for the passport first but was advised to as urgent). Many Thanks

It's definitely a hard one. give money or food if you feel it's right. I have some regular people I give to, even though I suspect granny is a gambler. if they receive with thanks then they are worthy, if they throw it in your face well...The other day I ended up in a bus depot rather than my usual stop. I knew roughly where I was - Rama 4 road. A rough-looking pair were swaggering along, looked intoxicated. I carried along the road normally. As soon as the woman saw me she panicked, then saw an opportunity and started begging in my face! I had a bottle of water given to me by the slum schools and offered it straight to her (it was boiling hot). She was too lazy to even try to seem convincing but she said 'gin kow!' (I want to eat food!) so I said 'me too!'

I wouldn't have given her money as I suspect she was up to no good and it wouldn't really help her. I changed my 'walking quickly past' behaviour when I lived in Sutthisan and used to see young office girls giving 20 baht to people on bridges. I decided that if a spare 20 was around in my bag, it would be more use to them. So my attitude is give, when and if you feel the time is right.

with thanks. it's always a choice between some kind of rock and...currently doing the 'pretend it's a holiday' approach, though really it's just a great expense!!

(y) thanks. currently thinking of flying to penang and trying for a non B anyway

Also, it's like you read my mind! The passport is nearly full! Do you think they'll be okay with a bounce on the malaysian border too? (save myself the 30 usd, get a small stamp and maybe fly to hat yai then the bus)? Will there be any likelihood that they will make me stay in the country for a few days?!
