I have a single entry Non-O marriage and I worked with that visa. Once I even went to Immigration as the employer thought I'd need to change to Non-B. So they took me to Immigration even I said no need- and Immigration confirmed: no need to change.

The dentists doctors do their rounds at different clinics and hospitals, some even teach at universities.
Not Pattaya but the dentist I see at Samitivej hospital is in full time attendance and she is booked up months in advance.
yep, got an appointment for June 30 at a dental hospital.

Ahh, ok, thanks to all.

If they used Wise to send a SWIFT, then they have a Wise account, so they could have simply sent the money to your Thai bank using Wise.
Wise would deduct a ~ 3.50-pound fee and then convert pounds to baht using the market rate. Then baht would have been deposited into your Thai account from their local account.
500 pounds = 22,750 baht
Exactly. I know that Krungthai will charge you up to 1500 for sending money to a foreign country. But receiving? Haven't had time yet to go to Krungthai, will go in soon.

Ah yes, thanks for that. So it appears the OP was actually sent EUR which would explain the missing amount.
Tbh, I'm not that familiar with wise. I was sent Euro to my Krungthai bank account and there converted to Thai Baht. i asked the sender and they said the fee must be on my side.
So, what can I do - or they do - to avoid that high fee? Are there better types of wise transactions?

Whoever sent you the money deducted 25 Euro.
You'll have to ask them why.
Did they send a Euro SWIFT from their bank to Wise?
Yep, I know. The wise pdf says paid 513 Euro, fee 3,84 Euro. Transferred by Wise Euro sent by SWIFT.
-
I didn't send it, but I saw the pdf file from wise and it was just some Euros fee. As for Krungthai, I saw on the App that I received it, there's no information where or from whom it came from. Zero.

I got a transfer from Wise, about 503 Euros after Wise fees were sent. I received just 18933 Baht, more than 1000 Baht less than expected. Are there any fees involved like conversion fees? 1000 Baht less seems quite much. Anyone has an idea?

Is there a final answer? I asked Krusapa regarding a similar matter. They never specifically answered my question, but recommended 3 or 4 universities that are recognized.

I read you need a Thai ID card to open an account at Binance Thailand. Not true anymore? And what are the advantages compared to Bitkub? Fee looks the same. Both have many coins not listed on the platform,, but Binance Thailand seems to have at least more coins listed than Bitkub. I'm not sure where is Binance TH located, don't see any information on it on the website.

Sure. It's also possible to win in the lottery. There is always a risk.
Of course there's always a risk. Whether you buy a stock like Amazon or crypto. Crypto is riskier, sure, so you have to do your DD.

He is still trying to convince others to put money into crypto so that he can take his money out without losing too much. Maybe he even dreams about making some money.
Of course it's possible to make money with crypto.

Yep, that's what I'm doing. Just wanted to hear some feedback from people who use both as well.
I had a look before and thought Bitkub has better prices and higher volume compared to Satang. One negative thing at Bitkub is that not for all cryptos you can set a stop loss!!!! About Satang don't know. I was looking into Satang's partnership with Binance. Sending fiat from Satang to Binance and trade at Binance. Maybe someone has information how that works and costs involved.

It is the 2nd one shown here in Thai. https://consular.mfa.go.th/th/publicservice/สถานที่ให้บริการรับรองนิติกรณ์เอกสาร
Ok, thanks. I tried this link which suggests you need an appointment. https://qlegal.consular.go.th/customer/create And indeed you can make an appointment for Chaeng Watthana, but not for MRT Klong Toei. Now I'm more confused than before.

Have you tried contacting a translation service since that is part of their business. They will do it for you.
I contacted three or four. Just one answered, but said can't go there (in behalf of me) because the office wouldn't be agency friendly. Instead offered an appointment to go with them in 3 weeks time. If I had to go there by myself, would I need an appointment? See here conflicting answers. Is office in MRT Khlong Toei still an option?

I'm trying to avoid going the long way to MFA department of Consular affairs. Anyone knows an agency I could hire? I contacted some but to no avail. Either they didn't answer at all or said cannot cos of problems with the MFA office.

No matter what you study, you will need to take the test if you graduate after 2019. If you only care about the license, choose the fastest and easiest. I know people who have done all of them, there is also an English language M.Ed program at ABAC.
There is also a B.Ed course at RMUTR if you didn't have an undergraduate degree.
https://tesoldegreethailand.com/
If you want to avoid the test, I suggest finding a program that licenses you in your home country.
Only a choice if you live in Bangkok and can attend all sessions.
On the B.Ed website it says: ..........This degree program is almost entirely weekend courses.
Program: 4 years, possible to finish in 3.5 years.
Each course is 5 consecutive weekend days. Course hours are from 9 a.m. until 3-4 p.m. You must attend each day of the course. If you miss one day you lose a letter grade. If you miss two days you will fail that course............

I was also asked to pay 500 Baht for residency certificate by Immigration. I replied I heard it's free. And the officer didn't mention the 500 Baht again.
