Issue Getting Retirement Extension
Caldera replied to leytonorient's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
That the landlord is an individual (not a company) could be established with the usual documents requested. The additional ones that the OP is being asked for are way over the top. -
That will depend on the local bank branches and your wife's nationality, I wouldn't take this lightly right now. She will probably need some additional supporting documents, such as secondary ID from her passport country (ID card or DL) and Thai proof of residence (residence certificate from immigration, lease, etc.). Even then, some banks will likely just say "no" in the current climate.

Who is MASEC TOTALAV?

You wrote that the first transaction happened three months ago, so speaking of responsibility, first and foremost you failed to inform your bank about the fraudulent charge right away. Don't you get a SMS or push notification instantly whenever a card transaction happens? If not, make sure to set that up when you get your new card. -
Retirement extension via agent, change of bank.
Caldera replied to jimn's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
How using a branch in Bangkok leads to a 3000 baht price increase is anyone's guess. At some point they'll be better off just producing the documents outright and giving the IO a little extra to scrutinize the documents even a little bit less. -
You really need to give more details. What did you buy? Are you in Thailand, and did you send the money FROM a Thai bank? When did that happen and what communications have you had or attempted with the seller since?

But not with a Thai residential address, right? -
Extension based on retirement
Caldera replied to bubblegum's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
It's reasonable to assume that many people call it that, because that's what it says on the entry stamp you get there. Others call it the Chong Chom / O'Smach border crossing after the border towns on both sides. Nothing wrong with either, but it can certainly cause confusion. -

What can you update there? Do they allow you to upload your new passport nowadays, or is that just a KYC questionnaire? -

I agree, that goes way beyond ensuring that you actually stay where you say you stay. The landlord should be obliged to provide their ID, the rental property's house book, the TM30 receipt - and nothing else. -
Thai Spouse Extension - Changes.
Caldera replied to Liquorice's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Hard to tell how much of a problem that really is, but in any case, I think what they don't get is that it would be much more efficient to do some proper vetting for the FIRST marriage extension and then make it easier for subsequent ones. It's deplorable that they tend to treat foreigners who have been married for many years like criminals. Bedroom pictures, house visits with interviewing the neighbors, now those new forms and the need to have a witness for a wife affidavit... no self-respecting person who has alternatives should be willing to play along with that nonsense. -

Which immigration office is this? We've had similar reports from Chonburi Immigration's Jomtien office recently, it would be interesting to know if it happens elsewhere. -

That's interesting insofar as they might have decided to give affected customers some advance warning before locking them out, which didn't seem to be the case before. Did they tell you any specifics, such as where you need to go ("your" branch or any branch) and by what date? -

Yes, and you really have to wonder, what a great country Thailand could have become if he had been allowed to be PM. -
It's beyond dumb to believe that Covid shots are dangerous. Yet another deranged person spreading misinformation.

Yes, and I think it's incredibly childish, I don't know any other forum that did this. Posters should see who reacts to their posts, same as they see who replies.

I love the thumb down emoji, I just don't understand why we need so many emojis. Less would be more.
