Has anyone recently got a Non-O retirment visa for Thailand from the Thai Embassy in London? Im looking to confirm if they only want 18k GBP in the bank with a single current balance statement and do not require it to be there for a period of time like the last three months. Many thanks

My mate got one from Dr. Lek on Sukhumvit Soi 14; he says it's legit as its gotta a stamp, must be.

cool, thanks

I'm applying for a UK Returning Resident visa, and I need to supply VFS Global in Phuket with a TB test. it implies https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tuberculosis-test-for-a-uk-visa-clinics-in-thailand/tuberculosis-testing-in-thailand#attending-the-clinic only two approved clinics in Bangkok... So I can't just walk into my local branch of Bumrungrad Hospital and get a nicely certified TB test on official letterhead from a doctor after an X-ray; it's not allowed, right? Have gotta go by a boat->fly->taxi to a clinic in Bangkok? What......

my wife needs to go to Phuket VFS center to do biometrics for her standard uk visitor visa. On the VFS website they are trying to sell me a package "keep you passport", but surely she will keep it anyway? its an electronic visa isnt it? like they dont put a visa sticker in her passport do they? or do they? I mean, shes going to have to go back to Phuket again to collect her passport is that whats happening here? And if the dont keep her passport would she have to go back to Phuket anyway to to get a visa sticker put into it after a visa is granted?

The company will develop mathematical models of financial markets, no trading, model building and coding only, all staff will be Thai with at least BSc in Math. "offering investment advice", no thank you, I am highly introverted!

number 3 only

yes thanks, Ive made companies before and thats all ok, company setup that is no problem, i have genuine Thai partners. I would not be a shareholder and I will not be a director, and the company will employ Thais with degrees in mathematics and computer science. My question is rather what is the restrictions of foreign job titles? I would like to refer to myself as "Head of Model Development and Research" and work in such a capacity. So I'm trying to understand if that can be the description on my work permit?

I would like to open a Thai company who's main activity is mathematical modelling. Is such a setup allowed under Thai law? Is this a restricted occupation for foreigners? Thanks all for any insight

The Trendy Building, do they have their?

looking for recommendations of bkk based thai to english document translation offices. Kids Thai birth certificate and wife's Tabien Bahn (blue book) needs translation from Thai to English. Its for the UK gov passports so needs a certified stamped translation, official looking translations. Anyone know of such a company who do this near some MRT or BTS station? Downtown Bangkok? Can they do VIP fast track special service and do it in a day? Thanks guys

seems like the appropriate path to take, will have a load of "massage" ladies outside to lure in the Nana expat high wealth individuals.

I could not see it on that list?

Can a foreigner living in Thailand work as an investment advisor, more specifically in the sole area of giving advise in regards to investment of personal wealth in terms of an individuals portfolio construction of stocks and bonds?

yes i totally understand that most thais in the vast majority of the country do not earn much. Its just where I live so many of my wife's friends would easily make 200k or more each month, but the authorities seem totally uninterested in looking into their earnings and related tax implications. Ive been living here for 22 years and I've never heard of a single case of either anyone filing a tax return or anyone being investigated. I mean counting customers at a market stall is one thing, but a Thai with no registered company and with 20 houses they rent for 30k per month each seems an obvious situation for the tax man to come knocking, but they don't. Just next door to where im sitting right now, there resturant easily takes in 40k per night, but definitely have no company and spend nothing on their business apart from 5 migrant workers on 10k a month each, but the tax man never comes. Its everywhere where i live, i just don't understand it.
