@Crossy If you have an existing MRT card with a balance, will that balance be transferred over to the new card?

1. A private school is a business. It is up to the business owners whose money they take. As long as they refund any unused fees then there is not a lot that can be done.

2. There is no law against kissing - however public displays of affection aren't common among Thai people.

three is a license for owning/holding a firearm, not for carrying one. A licensed firearm must be kept at the place of registration (your home/shop/office).

there are special permits for carrying a gun, but those are nearly impossible to get, and there are many restrictions to those permits as well (not allowed to carry directly on your body, forearm must not be loaded with ammunition, not allowed to carry in shops/shopping centers and many more such restrictions). All above is for civilians, and no need to remark about all those illegal guns or those which are legal but the owners choose to disregard the laws

Are you talking about Thailand or another country? If you really are talking about Thailand then just about everything you have said is incorrect.

Thai civilians can obtain a permit to carry a firearm. It can be carried on their body, and it can be loaded. The permit places no restriction as to where it can be carried, although common sense and cultural norms obviously do.

I speak from experience.

Only one bill I can not pay via ibanking and that is my Bangkok Metropolitan Water Authority (BWA) water bill

They have an app where you can pay by card. The two issues are 1. It's all in Thai, and 2. When you add a meter to the app you need a Thai ID number.

Other than that it works great.

Ask the staff at your hotel again. Explain you will pay them to help you.

It will cost you, but lesson learned.

I don't think it does, gifts within marriage are considered conditional on the marriage continuing.

He can ask for any substantial gifts to be returned on divorce.

Kongman/sinsod yes, but a real property right such as a Chanote in joint names would be considered sin somros.

I appreciate your position about the destruction/reconstitution of sin suan tua, and I would agree with you in almost all other cases other than a real property right.

That said, I think we will all be keen for the OP to keep the thread updated with his progress. Whichever way it goes this should be a caution to others that follow.

By placing her name on the condo Chanote you willingly gave her half of the property.

Your generous act completely supersedes the very good sin suan tua argument made by @BritManTooand the very good ante nuptial argument made by @KhaoYai - both if which would have merit in other cases.

You willingly gave her half. That's it.

Your real problem will be trying to sell the property with a sitting Thai tenant who does not want it sold.

So,  anyone has set up the prenup before the marriage? 

A prenup can only be registered at the time of marriage, at the District Office, just before the marriage documents are signed. Anything else is unenforceable.

As I read on other post that money earned (inc salary?) after marriage must be divided, I would like to include this in a prenup. As income,  cash is my biggest asset. 

Most assets gained after marriage should be equally divided upon divorce. You do not have to give your wife half your cash income while you are married. Also, if you have spent everything at the time of divorce, there would be nothing left to divide.

On 6/13/2018 at 1:00 PM, villageidiotY2K said:

This is possible to inc in the prenup right?

I don't think you understand what a Thai prenup does. If you think it can isolate assets you receive after marriage so your wife cannot get them, you are wrong.

A Thai prenup does not do this. Thai law is very specific about who gets what upon divorce. The reason a prenup does not protect you in the way you might think is because a contract between two people, even if entered into willingly, cannot supersede statute law.

In case of debt,  if they refinance after the marriage, how does it go?

You potentially own half the debt. There are exceptions, and there are times when your permission would be required to incur the debt. There are times when your permission would not be required, however.

On 6/13/2018 at 1:00 PM, villageidiotY2K said:

Also suppose if she's got a new debt without my knowledge after marriage, how does this go as well? 

As above. You would potentially own half the debt, depending how your wife went about it.

Then again she would own half of any debt you could legally enter into aswell.

"A death certificate was produced."

Who delivered the death certificate? Obviously not the undead gentleman in question.

Forging the document is one offence (almost impossible to prove who did this without an admission of guilt).

Knowingly allowing the document to be used would be another offence.

The problem you have is that there is no proof the undead gentleman did any of this, or indeed that he had any knowledge of the death certificate at all.

Without an admission this will go nowhere. On top of this, at this stage there is no proof of paternity.

No.

 

I have my workpermit for 15+ years, based on marriage to a Thai. I am working in her business, and as such can not contribute to social security, even though I'd like that very much.

Is her business a limited company?

I think you need to talk to the PR desk at Chaeng Wattana and also the Social Fund office.

If Social Fund receipts are required you need to establish with the Social Fund office whether you can pay everything you owe plus the penalty to clear the outstanding balance.

Then check if this is acceptable to the PR desk.

How were you granted a work permit renewal? You have to show social fund contributions at least for yourself.

I'm a bit puzzled.

How could you get 3 consecutive 1 year extensions of stay without paying social fund and providing the proof to immigration?
