Yes, but it sounds like its just for a normal tourist stamp

Dear ThaiVisa, I hope you can help me with this.
My Multiple Entry Visa expired the 16. january 2020, where my non-b stamp is going to expire the 3. of April.
Because my laywer has been very slow with my new Workpremit, I have not been able to do another Visarun before now, where the boarders are closed.
 

Can I also just go to the immigration to get a special non-b 30 days stamp?

Please, no comments with - Ask your laywer.....

In your original post you said "for investing in Global Stocks (not only inside) Thailand". You are now being specific and only want sites where you can trade only in American stocks. Which do you want? I don't trade myself but now that you have been more specific I am sure someone will come along with the right information for you.

My questions is very specific. But i found one. Just had to aske a Hiso, så its perfect ?

Hi, my questons is just a site where i can invest in American stocks.

Hi, im looking for a Thai website like aira [dot] co [dot] th for investing in Global Stocks (Not only inside Thailand).
What sites are you guys using?

Hi All

Im looking for a good Wellness Retreat place (Wellness weekend / 2 days) in Phuket for a fair price (maximum 20.000 bath) for two adults.

It should be a full package instead of buying the diffent treatments when you are at the place.

I took at look at Amataraphuket but its a little bit to expensive.

Best Regards

Update: Never never mind. The solution was a membership credit card for Central Festival.

UPDATE to my post https://thaicybercard.com/

on this site you can see most of the credit cards and ALL of the banks credit cards starts with a minimum salary of 15.000 bath and if you also ask the banks it’s 15.000 bath (next 50.000+ for Visa Platinum, 70.000 for Visa Signature and MC World). 

The websites is just not updated with all the new credit cards. 

Thats why I’m asking about any suggestions about low tier.

Is should be a simple question and not comment by foreigners with no insight in the credit card system in Thailand. 

I KNOW that 15.000 bath is nothing compared to a foreign salary, but the fact is. It’s 15.000 bath you need for a credit card.

I hope your tax evasion is well hidden. It's illegal you know.

 

Getting an unsecured credit card of any form with a declared income of only 20k Baht (that's the Thai currency you know) is going to be difficult.

Not if it’s foreign income, as you can see in my lastest post. 

But sorry to say. You also don’t now “anything” about credits cards down here.

I already have the AMEX Platinum and SCB Beyond in Thailand, but I only know the high Tier cards. 

ALL the bank credit cards starts with a minimum income at 15.000 bath (unless the banks gives it to you after graduating). 

The banks “don’t” care about, if you go in minus, because they earn interest. 

QUESTION: I’m loooking people in here that’s already approved for a credit card or has a wife, who know about credit cards with parking benefits. With a salary slips under 20.000 bath (the 15.000 bath cards = the low tier). 

Sakuraa, you should never be a financial adviser in the business world. 

Answer the question or don’t comment. Of course her income is more than 20.000 bath. 

Like me. My salary slip is only 50.000 bath but my income is over 300.000 bath every month. 

Hi All
My friend is looking for a credit card, with parking benefits (like Phuket Central Festial). A credit card with a maximum income of 20.000 bath without depositng an amount on a fixed account. - It should NOT be Bangkok Bank.
I know SCB Beyond, KTB Signature etc. have, but here you need to earn 70.000 and 50.000 bath.

Any suggestions?

Regarding spending, many places in Thailand add a 3% surcharge if you use a credit card.

 

Does the card double as a debit card, which would avoid this surcharge, but then presumably not count toward the yearly spending threshold to waive the card fee?

 

I’ve always been sceptical of these reward programs because I’m quite sure that VISA/Mastercard are not losing money on them. If they can make you spend > 300,000 baht/year on your credit card, that means they get > 9,000 baht/year in transaction fees compared to nothing, if you were just using your bank’s debit card.

Thats right about the 3%. with Krugsri with the 300.000 bath. 
Im almost eating out everyday, so its should be easy to spend with hotels, flight ticket and new gadges.

But I will wait and see about the SCB World Mastercard (100.000 / 5.000 bath in fee). But it has taking so damn long time. My friend said that some banks "does not like" foreing people with the deposit amount to have a credit card, because they dont earn intrest like when Thai people go in minus.

I have both Visa and Mastercard ones. The Visa ones states Platinum but not anything about Leader. I have had them both some years now, since 2010. Yes the 'credit' limit is the same as my fixed deposit, but that isn't really 'credit' is it, only for the short spell until I pay the bill at the end of the month. Both cards seem to work off the same FD/ credit amount. In fact when I received the cards I was surprised I got 2, as I though I was applying for a single card.

Thanks for you answer. Im not interested in the standard credit cards with the salary of 15.000 bath every month. Only the "high" end without depositing 2. mio bath.
Only the the Visa Signature and Mastecard World/World Elite.

But i guess its only the Krugsri and Beyond :)

Im interested in SCB Beyond and Krugsri Signature

The way I see it here is that the Krugsri Signature credit card is better that the SCB Beyond. Altså because its the Visa Signature with more benefits.

Although I too have a a couple of Bangkok Bank credit cards and have to retain a fixed deposit equal to the credit limit, I receive interest on that FD. I do not pay any on the CC. it is paid off completely from my Savings account (which also receives interest) every month. So no charges or interest charged on the CC, I do not take any cash advances with it.

Hi Jack, are you an owner of the Platinum Leader Credit Card? There is not a lot of informations on their site about benefits on this card, but I know their credit limit is 100% (like KTC) of the deposit. 

If you own one. Is it a Visa Signature?

With a Non 0 & work permit KTC gave me credit card without an account with them at the time

 

Yes, but i dont want KTC. I know that they have the VISA Signature credit card but their benefits are not good compared to the other banks.
You also need to pay the 4.000 bath each year. The others banks. If you use 100.000 - 300.000 bath between 1.1 - 31.12 you dont need to pay the fee.
The only reason to have KTC should be about the 100% credit of the deposit.

As I said, twice the amount you want as a credit limit. I only need a 200k limit, so deposited 400k.

Thanks for the answer. That was also what they said, when i applied for the Ultra Platinium.
But im going to move to Bangkok next month, so i will just cancel my application and apply in Krugsri.
Its 90% of the deposit, a Visa Signature and with the Major Cineplex in stead of SF.

I have worked in Thailand since 2005, with a WP and one-year extensions. I have a KTC ‘Titanium’ card, a Kasikorn ‘Passion’ card and a Central ‘The 1’ credit card. None of these required a deposit of any kind. I’ve had the KTC card nine years, the Central card five years, and got my first Kasikorn card about seven years ago. The limits are reasonable (they seem to be happy offering twice your gross monthly salary), and to get them I just filled in the application forms and provided proof of salary. No deposits, and no other requirements. I once had a Bangkok Bank card, but that did require a deposit, and after I got the KTC card I cancelled the Bangkok Bank card because they were basically charging me to use my own money, as well as charging interest even though I had deposited a sum equal to the credit limit on the card.

Hi SWW, im not interested in KTC, because i need to pay 4.000 bath in fee every year and they priveleges sucks compared to the other banks and as I said i dont want Kasikorn. Because a Visa Signature (The Premier) you need to deposit 2 mio bath and their Exchange rates are bad and you can use the K mobilbank on a european apple id.

My question was. Beside KTC Krugthai cards. Can you get a better card than theese above?
and i asked  FracturedRabbit how much he needed to deposit for the Beyond.

I have an SCB "Beyond" Mastercard. I opened a deposit account on which I receive interest, and my credit card limit it half the amount deposited. Unless you want a credit limit of 1 million baht, no need for a 2 million investment.

 

I am on a retirement extension and have no other banking arrangements with SCB.

Thank you for the answer. How much did you need to deposit for the Beyond Mastercard?
I allready have deposited 200.000 bath on a fixed account for the Ultra Platinium, but for some reason i needed to fillout a new application, so i took a look at the Beyond World Mastercard.
 

Hi, im looking for a credit card without depositing 2 mio bath of investment like SCB Prime and Kasikorn The Premier.
I took a look at SCB Beyond with Mastercard World and Krugsri Signature with Visa Signature.

I like their agreement the Cinemas and that you can use Mastercard World and Visa Signature partner with all the lounges and hotels discount.

So my question is. Beside KTH Krugthai cards. Can you get a better card than theese above?

Info: I have 12 months visa, workpremit and a salery over 200.000 bath every month
