International Driver's permit...aka license. In my home country I would only be able to get a 1 year permit. From what I have found, if I apply now., it would be valid for 1 year or until my current Thai 5 year license expires. My permission to stay date is not an issue.

I called Bang Chack office to ask about a 1 year international Driver's permit. Couldn't get a clear answer. So....my current Thai 5 year license expires in 15 months, so that's good. BUT my permission to stay expires Nov. 31 this year. If I get the required residence letter and go to the license office next week....will I get a 1 year license...or..a license that is only good until my current permission to stay expires??

Good ole Uncle Joe. Everyones friend. Legal or not. Don't need a Visa.

Maybe they think that if they take 6 months to reimburse, many Vets will die of old age before they have a chance to cash the check. 🤒

About the American VA Foreign Medical Program. I am not impressed so far. I filed a claim for reimbursement on 28th March, this year. First time, for a new disability that IS included in my Benefits Authorization page. I sent the claim by email with all the forms I think they wanted and did receive an automatic reply talking about the dates I could expect action. 60 days had passed when I sent a email asking about the status of my claim. I got a reply one or two days later saying they couldn't find a claim from me on, or near, that date. The person who answered my email asked for more information, such as the name of the hospital..address and amount I paid. I replied almost 2 weeks ago and didn't get a reply...other than the automatic message. I sent another email 2 days ago asking if they found anything....no reply..yet. I did list a US address on the form for them to send to...because sending here to Thailand can take over 2 weeks. I filed two more claims , one in April and one in June. Not a word from them about the status...just the automatic reply that says that claims take 2 months or more. Question: Does anyone have any positive experience with FMP? How long do they take and do they let you know what's going on...other than the auto reply?

We're all gonna die..sooner than later if Putin decides to push the button.

" Police rushed to the scene led by Pol. Maj. Gen. Bhumipanya Nawatrakul-phisut, the commander of Lampang provincial police." Really? Who offered them money to "rush"???

Just fly to Mexico, or a nearby country that will allow her in and then find a way to the Rio Grand and wade across the river. No one will stop her. When ready to leave, retrace your steps and fly back. Wish I were joking..

Plastic bags over the head?

Yes. Every month since July this year. 3 months before the extension from 90 days to one year. And every month for 7 years when I had a Non O A. All FTT

About the 3 months after extension is granted. I had an emergency and drew 150.000K out of the 800K one month before the 3 month date. But, every month I transfer in over 65K to the bank account I use only for immigration. Every 3 months I go to Bangkok Bank and get credit advices that cover deposits made for those months. I will have more than one years worth on my next extension visit. The 800K is back in the account 4 months before the next visit...but there is that early withdrawl. I read somewhere that credit advices.(.free)...are as good as a bank statement..when using the monthly transfer method. Yea or nay

When I was 15, I bought my first rifle. 22 Caliber 15 shot tube feed. Real nice gun. My friends and I would go out into the dessert and shot rabbits and birds, and the occasional diamond back rattle snake. Since we couldn't drive legally, we would stand at the side of the road leading out of town. Stick out thumbs out,,,,and someone would pull over and give us a ride. Cross over the Pecos river and walk away from the road We were all carrying guns. and the drivers could see them. Just felt like reminiscing good ole days.

I'll tell my gf to go to our favorite bar in Soi Cowboy and ring the bell, one time.

I remember reading something about this a while back, but search didn't help. I have some heart issues that might, or could be, fatal. I have bank accounts in bkk bank and one in Kbank. One account in bkk bank is for immigration purpose, no ATM card. I don't own anything here and the bank accounts are all in my name only. Balance around 2 million. I have a live in girlfriend that has been with me for over a year. I trust her....famous last words I know..haha Anyway, I have shown her all she needs to know on how to move my money online. I mean from my accounts to hers,,,,if I die. The rental agent here knows of my visits to the hospital this month, and I told her why I was going. Now, she has told my girlfriend that if I die, she can not transfer money out of my accounts...legally. Told her the police would arrest her and make her return the money to the bank....I say BS...but???? I don't have a will here, but I think we will see if we can remedy that. Anyone have knowledge or experience that would be useful? Thank you.

Because she's black, and a woman, she can't be touched. Doesn't matter if she's qualified to lead or not. So sad.

2 weeks ago I tried to do my online 90 day report as I have done many times before. but I got rejected, with NO explanation as to why. I looked over what I submitted and everything I input was correct. I went to CW to do an in person report. 3 hours round trip. When called, I handed over the completed TM47 and my passport. 2 minutes or less, passport and next date to report handed back. I asked why I was rejected online and all I got was a get out of my face snarl. So excited to see what happens next time...NOT

I have left and came back several times before. I have lived in the same place 5 years. Never had to update before. But, how do I check to see if this is the problem?? I can't get an appointment until the 22nd. 4 days late. I think that's ok..?

I was rejected this morning. I don't know why, as I entered everything correctly, as I have 10 times before. I did go out of the country and returned 85 days ago. 5 days until my 90 day is up. Nothing has changed except I flew to VN and back..and yes, I have a re-entry permit. Is there any way to find out without making that 5 hours trip?? Thanks for helpful replies.

I'll go Friday I assume they will open 10am.. if the new skywalk is open, that will be fun.

In reach of Phrom Phong bts station. A bit of a walk. There will be an elevated walkway from the station to the store...in progress.

Add 3 more zeros the that fine and he wouldn't be a millionaire anymore. That's how little he is worth these days.

50 police offices equals 25 motorcycled?

Now I have an even bigger problem. When I notified my pension fund to transfer to CFSV they told me that December would be the first deposit to the new bank. The Nov. deposit will be rejected and my pension fund will only add it the the December transfer. Double deposit in Dec. No pension and no SSA in the first week of Nov. means I will not have a transfer to meet the 65K I use when it comes time to extend. I don't keep more than $500 dollars in my US bank. Not enough. Screw Wise!!

Pib. you are one smart cookie... Thank you for searching SSA and finding the POMS that list what can happen to my deposit. I got this from Wise a few minutes ago....they said they were sorry.....big help that is, Thanks for getting back to us Unfortunately, there’s no way we can delay or revert the migration. We've had an operational change which means we needed to issue you new USD account details. We’re truly sorry for any disruption or inconvenience this has caused and we understand this came about quickly. If the sender does make the payment to your old Evolve details, the money will be returned back to the sender automatically The refund may take the regular 3-5 work days for ACH and 5-10 work days for domestic and international wires payments to return to the sender. Let us know if you have any other questions, we're happy to help. Best wishes, Val Customer Support | Wise "we're happy to help"" BS Again,,Pib...thank you.

This change from Evolve to Community has created a huge problem for me. I have 2 direct deposits that were going into Evolve. And now with the new bank CFSB I have new routing and account numbers. Wise says that deposits to Evolve will be rejected after Oct. 18th. Social Security Admin says they can not change my Nov. deposit. But the Dec. direct deposit will go to CFSB. What the heck is going to happen when Evolve sends back my Nov deposit??? Almost 2,000 dollars... And what will SS do when that happens. Maybe they will stop my monthly deposits. That would be disasterous. I sent Wise a message, but no answer yet.... Any ideas??
