I am sorry can not find an answer to this but it differs from various Immigration offices. Used to be a deposit on the same day at Kanchanaburi and visit a bank of the day going to the bank but can a letter be used say a week in advance. Thanks all

Hi I have noticed this before but if there is a Bank Holiday in the UK and also Thailand and when due is today 17th January it does not hit and often a day or two later. I assume that the payments are automatically set up and never understand why late and anyone else notice this. Thanks all

Wow very generous indeed!!!

True but the most important person is my wife and always remembers xxx

Not sure and they do not send actual cards but probably from a computer and is ok for a foreigner to send on to someone in the family Thanks all

Er? Am I missing something!!!

lol but many thanks just the one email then?

Nigelforbes Agree with a lot of things and yes had a late so- called uncle here who transferred loads of money and he was here about 2003 and yes the exchange rate very high and when I came over it was 73 to the pound. Yes of course none of us knew where we would end up and yes then no one really anticipated the Brexit when the pound plunged. TBF and been heavily involved with the barbaric and fraudulently frozen state pensions whereby we and our past employers indeed have paid more NI contributions and we certainly did not know about this issue and people are becoming more aware of this but we with our loved ones. On the plus side have no real complaints and yes lucky to have built for us a property at a very fair exchange rate and price. No one could have predicted what we would all do and who knows in the future and was only pointing out the ridiculous financials to go back to the UK or wherever. And yes many have no ties to the UK and no living relatives and not everyone has houses back in the UK because of various circumstances. Better to have tried but hope to end my days here but one can only cut back so much and all in all no complaints choosing to be here and my wife wanted to come back in 2008 and it was a mutual decision and not being negative (but society certainly is) and could see even then the UK going downhill and yes it was the banking collapse as well. What I am trying to say that I was laid off again as most of us were and thought we go for it.

You don't have to give a date when coming back or maybe you can correct me!!

Even less to spend on our wonderful Thai families and we supply most of the funds and the exchange rate and frozen state pension and do not know if any of you have the overseas British site on Facebook but I provided the impossible financials to go back and well it will be impossible for our wives and bad enough to get UK visas 17 years ago. Yes, they penalise us for daring to leave the UK to be with our loved ones. The same in many countries and families are being split up for many reasons but one is the financials and impossible.

Yes and have all the information and contacts tele numbers and know what forms are required and yes seen their sites and did a lot of research. Yes as explained in another post I go in personally to get my permission to stay regarding retirement. And realise they very busy last week and is there another email address and only have the one [email protected] and yes normally reply but as I stated the first week of 2023 is very busy. Still a bit of time as my current extension matures 13th February. Thanks all and appreciate it John

anyone in Kanchanaburi and have one email address [email protected] vis their site and is there any others and can not see Thanks again.

Thanks nigelforbes

nigel forbes thanks so much

Thanks so much proton and yes we do this and we go in person though can make an appointment on line but until we know when the Manager is available, as you state just have to wait

I am sorry but can not find an answer but it is probably there and have tried to telephone my local Immigration office at Kanchanaburi and yes was waiting for the New Year to settle as I know that there would be very busy, Also am aware of all the paperwork required and have done this for 14 years and the bank letter etc but my present permission to stay matures on 13th February 2023 and think last year went in 28 days before and thinking around 17th or 18th January and the main reason I ask one has to have a Manager of the bank is available to sign the bank letter or can an Assistant Manager sign this. Apologies if the answer is out there but just can't find it. thanks for any help and appreciate it John

Think it depends what office but as yet not had to produce but just put in the wallet, just in case

Yes, indeed and Dr Jack and everyone you are very knowledgeable indeed and think got all the usual forms and information for my annual permission to stay by reason of retirement. In about 13 years and based in Kanchanaburi and go in person and think one can go 28 days before current one matures. One does not need an appointment, correct and yes early days but my existing permission to stay runs out 13th February so I make out sbout the 17th or 18th January can go with all the paper work and bank letter and so on. They have an email address and their office is a fair distance from my same abode and yes have a telephone number and yes at busy times hard to get through. Thanks all for any information and does no harm got a yellow book and my Thai registration card.

Just use the ATM and thanks got the right website and tried googling last night and now just have to try the link and hope got some money in the account a problem we all have lol Happy Christmas and thanks

Thanks lol and my local branch shut down years ago but did google and another poster came up with the site. Happy Christmas and see if any money in the account an issue we all have lol

anchadian Thanks so much and tried googling etc and will try later and very clear and might try it later. Happy and Healthy Cristmas to you and yours and everyone and lol see if any monies in the account, Thanks again

Yes tried the SCB but not sure how you can change the daily amount on a debit card thanks all

Yes I realise Skyscanner and Cheap Air are 2 but but the fares are not cheap and lowest seen 952 pounds but going up to over 1.200 are there any cheaper and do not expect fares ro come down. Thanks for any help and thoughts

Until someone grasses one up and yes one wonders about teching at home, need a WP and also a freelancers but how to the former get paid and very dodgy to give out bank details etc but some can lay low and probably get away with it.

Yes. I hate this and very dangerous as many people somehow can get other personal details but like internet banking we have no choice and it depends on who is on and again no one to talk to. Good u ok and do you use mobile but I have home computer but share my wife's mobile and codes go there?? But not tried and tried to phto more this morning. thanks mate
