    My IO operate a 'book system'. After each extension you can pay 2,000 baht and your name goes into the book for them to do your 90 day reports for you until your next extension. A tip gets you the VIP service i.e. telephone appointment, no form filling or questions, just hand in your passport and bank photocopies and they take your deskcam photo. They're always offering to help me in some way!
  2. The Fugitive
    In my own case that wasn't necessary. The IO asked me how much the agent charged and offered to 'do it for less'.
  3. The Fugitive
    Then your agent will either have to submit your 90 day reports upon your behalf or supply you with the address they've given to the IO so that you can do them. If you can't resolve this you could try going to the IO in the area you're actually living in and explain. If they're anything like my own IO they will jump at the chance to undercut your agents fees.

    Mine told me two criteria; 1) Married 2) Resident minimum 12 months.

    LatPhrao has provided a most superb solution. You need to obtain a copy of form TM30 from your landlord. 90 day reporting and extensions must use this address. No need for your agent to do your 90 day reporting for you (unless you've already paid in advance for the service). Easy to do at Immigration Office/by post/on-line.

    LatPhrao has put in into a nutshell. The key is the TM30 by his landlord. When he has this he'll know the address the IO have upon their records. He will then be able to make 90 day reports and apply for extensions with utmost ease.

    Don't think it's wrong, more of an alternative method. Also, everytime I log into my mobile 'phone account I seem to find more and more features. Problem is it's difficult for some of us to keep up-to-date with technology!

    You only ever use one address, always the latest one (and one 90 day report) at a time.

    Can confirm that my agent registered me at her apartments for the purpose of obtaining Non 'O' Retirement Visa combined with 12 months extension and the opening of a Bangkok Bank savings account. Before my first 90 day report fell due I moved to another Province and registered my new address with the local Immigration Office. No issues with 90 day reporting and my 'first' extension or since.

    Ear Wax

    The Fugitive replied to roger101's topic in Pattaya

    I suffered severe earache. Mrs knew of a very popular ENT doctor in the next town who has his own private High Street clinic. He said my ear canal was narrowed, infected and needed wax removing. Surprisingly, he did this immediately via suction tube, prescribed and dispensed antibiotic ear drops, antibiotic tablets and painkilling tablets. Resolved in a few days. Cost 1,200 baht.

    It states information will be 'of use' to police. Having an outstanding arrest warrant doesn't stop anyone leaving (or entering) the UK. Border Force are not police.
  12. The Fugitive
    Thanks for this. There's no 'SIM card switching' option on my 'phone. Therefore, I'm sure it won't!
  13. The Fugitive
    The OP is concerned that should his home country SIM lose signal, his 'phone will switch to his Thai SIM and use mobile data at expensive roaming rates. I'm certain that 'phones do not do that.
  14. The Fugitive
    That is exactly what I do when in UK. If your home country SIM loses signal your phone will not switch to using Thai SIM for mobile data.
  15. The Fugitive
    On my dual SIM android 'phone under settings - Dual SIM settings - you can select which SIM to use for default mobile data and also the default calling SIM. Can also completely turn off either (or both) SIM's.

    Enabling roaming doesn't cost anything. Ensure you turn off 'mobile data' and don't answer any calls. SMS is always free to receive.
  18. The Fugitive
    Most Thai bought 'phones are dual SIM. It's no hardship to keep your Thai SIM in one slot, thus ensuring it's always with you. Recently, a contributor was in the nightmare situation of being outside Thailand and needing to change his mobile number with his Thai bank. Unfortunately, you can only do this in person, at your bank in Thailand!
  19. The Fugitive
    Nothing to worry about. Despite popular opinion, using an agent does not commit you to use their (or any other agents service in future).
  20. The Fugitive
    The True customer advice centre advised me that 'international roaming' needs to be activated. They did this for me whilst I was still connected to their chat. SMS is definitely free to receive!

    Good tip, thanks. With Bangkok Bank you can deactivate SMS OTP's if you wish; How can I hold or block the SMS Authentication Service? 1) Log on to Bualuang iBanking. Go to "My Settings" menu and click the "Deactivate SMS OTP Service" sub-menu.

    True, the time to deprive him of his passport was at first court appearance (magistrates' court). He then went on court bail. As I understand to extradite someone there has to be; 1) Extradition agreement between the Countries concerned 2) Already convicted (or concrete case) 3) Only for the most serious offences e.g. murder.
  23. The Fugitive
    Raises many issues. Are they causing a public health risk? If so, can I consult the Tessaban? Their house is a disgrace, absolutely the worst in the soi. Bricks, lumps of concrete, oil drums, heaps of soil and piles of scrap metal and rotten wood 'stored' in front of their house taking up half the width of the road.
  24. The Fugitive
    Following arrest and questioning you are given police bail to return to the police station on a particular date pending their decision whether to; 1) Take no further action 2) Issue a police caution 3) Charge you with an offence. Sometimes you can return upon that date to be told that they need more time and you are again bailed to another future date. Whilst on police bail they are not permitted to restrict travel.

    If they consider there is a risk of the suspect fleeing the Country they (CPS) can ask the Magistrates' Court to make an order.
