That's funny, please go to the DLT to try and register anything to do with land ownership. DLT is the Department of Land Transport ! What is the Land Department? The Land Department (in Thai: กรมที่ดิน) is the government agency responsible for issuance of land title deeds, registration of real estate transactions in Thailand and land topography and cartography matters. As a matter of legal formality and for the legal effect, Thais and foreigners entering into transactions concerning real estate (including transactions involving land, buildings and condominium units) in Thailand generally must (with an exception for short term leases) register the transactions with this agency.

Korat is only about 2 hours from BKK, and some places in Isaan are even closer.

Foolish, maybe because it is an expensive way of doing it. Irresponsible, please explain that one.

"nonsense", why, because you don't do it? Many people use their home country's bank account and an ATM here. Yet again, you extrapolate your experience to mean that is the definitive answer. Everybody has different experiences, some good, some maybe not so much.

No, there is no specific income ceiling requirement for the Non-Immigrant O (Volunteer) visa in Thailand. The primary focus is on ensuring that the applicant is genuinely volunteering for a non-profit organization or government agency and is not seeking employment. However, it's important to note that you may need to provide proof of sufficient funds to support yourself during your stay in Thailand. This could include bank statements or other financial documents. The exact amount required may vary depending on the individual circumstances and the length of your stay.

Then she does not have the necklace that she got when she was 18 at all! (Trigger's broom)

Very true, but not everyone lives in Bkk. And some people, (depending on their choice and how friendly their local office is), prefer to not have to visit immigration.

The one possible advantage is that if you travel a lot, then you don't need to buy a multi re-entry permit, thereby saving 3800 baht.

Please explain to me how someone in 2003 could have got the DTV instead of the Elite?

What you did years ago has no basis on what is required, or not, right now, in the present. Yes you stated he "should" have a TM30, when Tod clearly states he "must", there is a huge difference.

Yes an asset " I overdrew my German account by 1,000 Euros ", spending someone else's money.

Then apply for citizenship! What you want and what you are actually entitled to are two totally different things. Don't like it? Close the door on the way out.

Not a "good idea", it was clearly stated that you "DO need a TM30".

@DrJack54 No need to wait for Tod to reply, I have posted his previous post. 🙂

So you are not a Thai tax paying expat yet, if at all, due to DTAs. When you say welfare advantages, would that include roads, street lights, immigration offices, police ? You know, all those services that you currently get for free!

OK, 66% of the above is incorrect. Not every employee has to pay into the SSF; Government officials and permanent employees of central administration, provincial administration and local administration. To name just one (very large) group of people who do not participate in that scheme. The monthly contribution is a max of 750 baht a month. The 432 baht is what you pay AFTER you finish working if you want to keep the healthcare benefits, and obviously your ex-employer does not have to match that.

If you are paying tax, that would suggest you are working? If you are working then you should/could be registered for the social security scheme?

Yes it is a recent change, posted a day ago. "Tod Daniels Admin Top contributor IF you're talking about Bangkok immigrations they no longer require you to be on a visa/extension where you do 90 day reporting to get a certificate of residence, You DO need a TM30 <notification of foreigner in residence, to have been filed on you by your land lord or yourself as far as where you live because they mail the certificate of residence to that address. In Bangkok you go to the main immigration office at the government complex Building B out at Chaengwattana Road, you want section B (they do TM30 and Certificate of Residence) You fill out the form, make the copies they require, pay 200 baht, they give you a receipt and a Thai Post EMS tracking number and the certificate of residence is mailed to you in about 5 days This is an example of the form you fill out for a certificate of residence"

Hunting for it as we speak 🙂 Though to be fair, the MFA website does not even mention insurance. 🙂 https://www.mfa.go.th/en/page/non-immigrant-visa-o-a?menu=5e1ff71bc4281a00c812e8e2

Jeez, you are slow, maybe, just maybe the person with the O-A didn't always have one, maybe they worked beforehand? I mentioned the social security health benefits because it is accepted as insurance for the O-A, and it seems the only reason people change is because of the insurance, so I mentioned an option, (that never seems to be put forward).

Perhaps you should learn to read. I said if you had continued the health element of Social Security, you can only do that AFTER you stop working. (In your defence, maybe you are not too familiar with the Social Security and its benefits) 🙂

Firstly you really have no reason or right to be eating at a university cafeteria, given that you are not studying at that uni. Secondly you mention about looking at the uni girls, at your age that is called being a lecherous perverted old man, and according to you, you should not be doing it. " I just want to tell you guys that.... CELIBACY is really.... The ONLY Way to Go....if you are seeking uncluttered happiness. a. I never need worry about wearing a Green Hat, which means being cuckolded. b. I never need worry about not being able to GET IT UP, which, obviously, is a non-issue for me, being COMPLETELY single. c. I am enjoying many other advantages of being celibate. And, there are just too many to share here with you...at the moment..... So, why not come over to MY side? Get with the program which will add years to your lives.....! Get celibate and flourish!"

One option that never seems to get mentioned for a Non-OA is if you have continued with the health element of the social security, (having previously worked), that is also accepted and of course that is only 432 baht a month.

In UK the price tag is an offer to sell it to you at that price, that is why mispriced goods do not have to be sold for that price. Maybe do you homework before you make blanket statements that are not true.

I think maybe he edited his post?
