You can have problems with your own country if you no longer reside there but still hold bank accounts. My Thai wife and I both hold accounts in Australia and every two years or so I am required to provide two certified documents proving my identity, my wife who also holds Australian citizenship got her demand last week.

There are “people”” organizations “ who will do it for you I live in the North and needed some documents certified by the Australian Embassy and someThai Dept in order to get my House book and ID card several years ago Fom memory wasn’t expensive need to google to find the names.

I think we could all suggest how the whole Immigration system could be simplified using online applications and still providing the perceived security protections. Having seen how easy it is to renew a Thai passport with my wife and daughter where the few documents required are scanned the photograph taken and the passport arrives in three days at a third of the cost of renewing my Australian passport, the Immigration Department could do the same. However being a division of the Royal Thai Police Force confirms it’s all about maintaining the bureaucracy and corruption. After saying that I pass the local Immigration Office daily and it takes me three to four minutes from leaving the car to returning to complete the 90 day reporting a small price to pay for living here.

Malaysia has a similar system if you don’t have a phone you cannot open the automatic gate and just go to the Immigration desk, Easy don’t panic

Does anyone have any information as to whether the above outlet has relocated elsewhere after closing in Airport Plaza. The information desk couldn’t provide any help.

The UK has introduced an electronic arrival form for non UK passport holders operative from 1 Jan this yea which costs 10 pounds Malaysia has a similar system which is free and easy to use.

I was the same unfortunately my wife who is considerably younger than me was not able to have the same vaccine until they were commercially available and contracted Covid as did our young daughter who was hospitalized. Whatever the skeptics believe considering we all lived in the same house and my wife and I sleep together I remained Covid free.

Look at the statistic and you will obtain your answer.

I pass our local Immigration Office most days it takes me three minutes from leaving the car to returning for the 90 day reporting, no forms only the passport and friendly staff.

I read an article on this site by an expat "taxation expert" advising expats who reside here permeantly to register and obtain a tax ID. I am interested as to how many have followed this advice.

That looks like a very nice leg of ham without the bone ??

I meant the discs

Thanks

My view on that is if you do not have the training/ experience you shouldn’t be involved in electrical installation beyond maybe replacing power points etc. As we know electricity is unfoqrgiving.

Hi I am interested in views as whether you should have the front dic brake calipers machined when changing the dic pads if they are not damaged or scored. I am not worried about the cost but note it’s seems to be part of Ford’s scheduleh
