That scenario is possible if nobody did anything; however, given the deceased left "vehicles and money in a bank" here in Thailand, it would be foolish not to file probate proceedings here. Ultimately an order would be issued by the court transferring those assets to somebody [to some relative(s) of the deceased per the provisions of Thai intestacy laws]. The only viable reason not to do so is if the assets here in Thailand have less real value than the hassle and expense of the probate proceedings (i.e., if the value is less than a few thousand US dollars, it may not be worth the bother).

Am presuming you mean you just bookmarked the SCB website and logged in from there. I've never needed an OTP to do that and, come to think of it, don't need one to get into the mobile (android) app either.

Presuming you can, change the bank alert deal to email. That's how I get alerts from SCB and Bangkok Bank. As long as you do some activity every year (transfers or even wire over an amount), I don't see why there would be any issue keeping the account "active."

Contrary to some, I use the baht busses all the time around here without any problem. Rather easy to get anywhere between the river and CMU. Tuk tuks are okay if you must. And, as stated, it's rather easy to obtain a Grab right to your doorstep just about any time and prices (my view) are reasonable. Whether we will see the return of the air-conditioned busses is unknown (maybe never but likely not until tourist numbers return to prior levels).

Standard fare as written on the side of each songteaw (red ones) is 30 baht. Occasionally, you'll see the driver hold up 4 fingers, meaning he/she wants 40 baht (up to you to agree or not). Of course, if you are going to unusual destinations, they may ask for more. Not sure about current prices for the other colored baht busses, been a while since I've been on the blue or white baht busses but I do see them around. Worst mistake is to ask how much as you'll see a grin on the driver's face and he/she almost always will ask for more. If the driver is okay with the destination, just hop on and pay 30 baht. Another common mistake by tourists is to approach the driver with a map in hand as that almost always ends up with a higher fare.

As UJ said, may depend on the office. I got a new passport in December, transferred the stamps in January, and did the 90-day online report due in February (and 2 since then) without a problem here in Chiang Mai.

Exactly what happened to me when I converted to a Non-O from visa exempt last year in Chiang Mai (I didn't think to ask about it, they just put in my passport a new 90-day Receipt of Notification with a new reporting date on it); however, it seems that at least some other provinces don't handle it that way so probably wise to ask about it in other provinces when converting to a Non-O.

You asked when are you required to file the 90-day address report and, given you're saying you'll file whenever the Immigration computer sends you an invite anyway (regardless of the dates of entry), why did you even bother to ask the question? There's the old adage about one can lead a horse to water but......(i.e., condolences to the other posters for wasting their time correctly answering the question you posed).

I know he wasn't made an offer to play and didn't say that. From the news: "LIV Golf officials have said Nicklaus was not offered the same role that Norman now has, but rather an “ambassador’’ type arrangement that he turned down."

It would be refreshing if the LIV guys at least publicly were honest as to why they joined the LIV tour......simply because they got paid a boatload of money to do so (more money that any one of them could possibly make for the rest of their golf lives). One wonders why the LIV guys aren't simply admitting that. Then, of course, is the consideration of the source of the money and why the Saudi's would essentially throw away 2-3 billion dollars (real money!) to get it started. Their offer to Jack Nicklaus ("north of 100 million dollars" according to Nicklaus) is especially puzzling/concerning to me. Why would they offer that incredible sum to somebody who doesn't even play professional golf anymore? Simply an attempt to buy prestige? Finally, while I admittedly have never been a big fan of Greg Norman, one at least wonders if he jumped into this simply for his claimed "love of the game of golf." Come on, Greg, how much money are the Saudi's paying you to do this?

According to the news, the man entered Thailand last October and overstayed his visa, living supposedly in central Phuket (Kathu district) since then. While the monkeypox virus itself doesn't seem all that concerning, the man clearly caught the virus here so he's hardly the first case of the virus in Thailand.

Construction is finished. Edit: Would note that the auto bays for the building open to the west (toward the mountain) so I'm doubtful business noise will bother residents of Nakornping Condo. And banana/vegetable ladies are still working the west side of your street as usual.

Also had a rather comprehensive health check up at RAM Hospital this past October, all except one procedure being at the Health Center. Cost for me was 7,012 baht (like above poster, rather good value in my opinion given how thorough they do things).

Come on, enough. As others have correctly said, there's no current reason to believe the OP (or anybody else) will find a new set of rules for converting in-country to a Non-O from either a visa exempt or a Tourist Visa. Last fall, I converted from visa exempt to the Non-O without a problem.....and no rules regarding that process have changed in the interim. Unless you're aware of a rule change and can support it with something other than pure speculation, perhaps best to not offer your comments that serve only to confuse.

Not a dumb question. In Chiangmai, it's 21 days, other places may be 14 days. On your first trip to Immigration, they will tell you when to show up for the second trip which basically is a time for them to stamp the Non-O in your passport and send you on your way.

Thanks for that info. I've only tried it with the computer app.

When you attempt that online with Bangkok Bank, you can't get a statement of anything beyond the last 6 months.

They did give 45 days with visa exempt entry back when there was a 14-day required quarantine but they quit doing that near the end of last year (when I came in visa exempt in September and had to do the 14-day Phuket sandbox routine, I got 45 days). Only 30 days will be given now.

OP, presuming your stay will be just 60 days, why not just get a Tourist Visa before your trip? Then there's no need to either visit Immigration for an extension or to buy a separate onward airline ticket. And will save you $30+ in the long run.

I waited until I had 2 pages left and then got a new (US) passport.....and just noticed in my older passport that Immigration (Chiangmai) had used three "Endorsement" pages for stamps. That being said, as long as you have time, get a new one now as the process is easy from here and you'll get it done in about 2 weeks or less (if applying by mail here in Thailand).

According to Chiangmai Immigration website, the 13th, 14th, and 15th are "holidays" and the office will be closed all three days.

Yes, easy to have the paperwork and photo ready ahead of time. Here's a fillable TM8 form...... 2022FillableTM8.pdf

Perhaps a bit of over-thinking this but I'm presuming you see the merit of switching from an Non-OA to a Non-O if only to get rid of the medical insurance requirement. If so, I'd simply not obtain a re-entry permit for the October trip, come back in on a 30-day exemption (presuming that's available for you), and then promptly convert to a Non-O (if you do it within a week or so of your return, you won't have to bother obtaining a 30-day extension of your exempt entry to buy more time), and then apply for a one-year extension of that within the last 30 days of your new Non-O. For future trips out of Thailand, just make sure you have a re-entry permit (either single or multiple depending on how many trips a year). Under the scenario listed above, I wouldn't bother coming back on a Tourist Visa....just more expense and hassle and you'd be facing the same conversion to a Non-O routine. Since you've mentioned you keep the 800k baht in a Thai bank, I'd recommend your annual extensions be based on retirement (versus marriage) as that involves slightly less hassle/paperwork; however, if you only want to retain 400k baht in a bank here, then extensions based on marriage would be the only way to go.

The mother certainly broke the rules by adding anybody besides herself to her bank account. The daughter is on a Non-O Ed Visa and I'm curious as to why you think any rules were broken in granting her an extension.

This is getting strange. What you just posted is not a 90-day Receipt of Notification but the TM30 Receipt of Notification. A 90-day Receipt of Notification looks just like this.....
