I went to Bangkok Bank today and I finally got a new bankbook and my 800k+ transfer was shown as an FTT code. Seems all is well. Thanks to all for your advice. Today I also went to local Immigration to apply for a 30-day extension which was successful. I was there early and received immediate service to file the application but had to wait for all the other Myanmar applicants there before me and all the other ones who appeared over the next hour to leave with visas before I received my passport back. Nothing particularly unusual about that My passport also had another voided stamp saying my extension was under consideration and return again on some other date, is this usual for a 30-day extension? Curiously as I the entered the carpark the same officer who refused my long stay visa enquiries the week before noticed me, as she was driving out of the carpark.

Besides being a wife-cheating proven rapist and fraudster and four times indicted criminal defendant, are you suggesting that he might also be a lying coward? "All I can do is tell the truth,” Trump proclaimed the day before his trial began. {Cough, cough, excuse me, I am choking on those words in quotes above} “Yeah. I will testify. It's a scam. That's not a trial. It's a scam...It's not even a crime," said Trump on April 12. 'Trump is a coward': Ex-president bashed for teasing court testimony that never came (msn.com)

Wrong!!!

Apologies, I just received the link and did a quick scan and thought that all the news was positive. On fact checking I now discover that the 2024/25 Budget was just released and does not support a lot of what the link states. The main positive thing from the Budget for pensioners living here is that deeming rates will remain frozen as they were first done in 2022. There are no changes to Super draw down percentages that are currently in operation after they changed last July from COVID times. Federal Budget 2024-25 Round-Up – AMP

That is 1 chance in 26 or 3.85%. In fact, Cannon was selected twice in this case once before indictment to determine the need for a special counsel and then later after indictment. The probability of her being selected for both is now increased to 1 in 667 or 0.15%. Seemingly Occam would be disappointed by this randomness.

From the outset, blind Freddy could see Aileen (Loose) Cannon has been in Trump's pocket. Her initial decision to approve Trump's request for a special counsel to supervise the documents case, contrary to DOJ guidelines, and which was later overturned on appeal by the 11th Circuit, suggests preferential treatment. This assumes, of course, that one understands the significance of 'special' in the term special counsel. Typically, common criminals do not receive such consideration. She is making mockery of the principle of 'equal treatment under the law.' Aileen Cannon, Trump-appointed judge, assigned initially to oversee documents case - CBS News

Amazingly from his basement and with dementia Biden has created worldwide inflation.

While I appreciate your concern about my linguistic abilities, I assure you that I am quite conversant in Castellano the true Spanish as spoken by Royal Spanish Academy. It seems your argument resorts to the logical fallacy of ad hominem, attacking my character rather than addressing the points at hand. This often indicates an inability to mount a logical response. As for the academic consensus, it remains unaffected by personal beliefs or political affiliations. And regarding my username, it's a product of creativity, not a strict adherence to translation norms.

Trump's demand for a drug test from Biden appears paradoxical, given Trump's apparent refusal to take a pre-agreed COVID test before the 2020 debate. It's possible he aimed to play Typhoid Mary, risking his opponent's infection after testing positive three days prior. The judges bypassed the rules by using the 'honor system' to permit Trump's participation. History would suggest honour and Trump are mutually exclusive. Trump wants others to play by the rules, without himself playing the game.

Without evidence your opinion is exactly that. Links to support your wild claims are conspicuous by their absence.

Seems facts are not your friend. Historians rank Trump as worst president

Looks like I may have been set me up for failure with the two-week seasoning on the 800k and with the at least 15-day remainder required at all other offices if the original plan had failed as it seems it has now. As it is now the window of opportunity has slipped after being here two weeks and I will need to get a 30-day extension from here and then go elsewhere next week.

I had to go to Immigration because of some issues filling out the TM 30 online and they asked my Thai partner to come in and sort it out and do a manual form. While I was there, I just wanted to ask if there were any special Ranong requirements on getting bank information on the day of my TM 87 submission as I didn't want any surprises on that day. Seems I did get a surprise but not the one I expected. I have had experience in filling out TM 87 for retirement extensions, but not in this decade. having done over ten in the past. I also have also done a lot of homework mainly in regard to many other Imm offices, but it seems not many westerners have lived or applied in Ranong, now I realize why. Imm here deal mainly with Myanmar immigrants as Ranong shares a long border with them. On the day of my visit at opening time there was about 200 there and no westerners. In my many years of visiting Ranong and living here for 6 months I have only ever met 2 other westerners. By the way I really appreciate your help today and in the past.

Thanks for reply. I suggested that to my partner but she said "kreng jai". Aka, I would make an enemy for life and it would come back and bite me on the a***. I think a visa agent may be my best bet at this stage. I have invested too much in my move here to give up now.

Addendum to above: This refusal was after previously told by others there on two separate occasions all was well.

Seems my banking efforts may have been in vain. I went to Ranong Imm yesterday and spoke to another person there about what detail I need in my Visa conversion to Imm Non O visa application. To my amazement they told me that Immigration law says that they are unable to convert my Visa Exempt to long stay.

Thanks for your response. I checked my account on my web browser, my new mobile number will take another 5 days to update on the Bangkok Bank system, so I assume I cannot register for BBL app until then? So no SMS from BKK Bank. For source bank will online screen shot suffice? The only mention a foreign bank in the Wise receipt is my overseas address. A screen print of the transaction in my Wise A/C shows the Foreign Currency amount and the equivalent amount in Thai Baht, will this be OK?

Ranong Bangkok Bank. Nearest Mall is in Ranong but there is no Bangkok Bank in the two malls there only in the local market area. I live equidistant in Ranong between Ranong and Chumphon cities.

Hi Dr Jack, what is credit advice and where do you get it?

Thanks for response. Closest BBK Bank is 2 hours return trip and I cannot get a new bank book unless I travel to Phuket. Local bank just staples a new page in back of book.

Thanks for response. Ranong Immigration.

Yesterday I did a Wise transfer for my 800k 90 Day Non-O Imm Visa conversion from Visa Exempt. My receipt from Wise today says, 'Local Bank Transfer'. On-line my Bangkok Bank says, 'International Transfer'. Bottom of bank screen says Disclaimer: The Transfer Reference is provided by the sender. The bank is not responsible for its content or appropriateness. I have been in Thailand now almost a week. Time now is of the essence, and it seems my local Immigration want a two-week seasoning period before submitting application. Will this transfer be satisfactory? All responses will be appreciated.

As a purveyor of innuendo, perhaps Geoffery Berman could offer you a reason: Geoffrey Berman, the former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, discusses his dismissal in his book titled “Holding the Line.” In the book, Berman describes his firing by Attorney General William Barr as politically motivated and details his clashes with Barr over various legal matters. He suggests that his independence and the investigations he was overseeing posed a threat to President Trump’s re-election, which led to his dismissal. The book provides an insider’s perspective on the tensions between the Department of Justice under Trump and the Southern District of New York, offering a detailed account of Berman’s experience and the political pressures he faced.
