i dont think need to wait for another post to make 1 extra copy for my documents... lol its not going to hurt me... plus if they dont want the 2nd copy then i can use it next year... PS: this is thailand and we all know its full of surprises. Im also surprise someone go the IO without at least 1 extra copy of documents. And actually not go with some other extra paper work just in case. so you will carry a brown folder with full of paper 1 time in a year for you 1 year visa extension... whats the problem?!

i thought you cannot use paypal in thailand if its not a business account. i have a friend who teaches online to chinese students and now he cannot do anything with paypal because he hasnt got business account paypal. so thailand blocked him. and he already lost 20K baht last month. now hes looking for a new option. Also paypal is not transferring his money to his new what ever hes using. so can you still pay things or use paypal in such a way? thanks

thnx

ok.. thanks

wrong post

i dont know about this situation but i dont think you can pay them directly. the mortgage is related to your wife and her ID and so on. most likely she has some app in her mobile and telling the payments and so on. at this point i would not trust you are paying them. in the future all can come to a point actually you didnt do any payment. i would check this UNLESS: your wife gave you the password to the bank app and you have the full ownership of the app. banks use app for the payment

yes thats what i mean. thanks

hi great explanation i just had a talk with the bank this morning and this is exactly what he told me. so first thing i need to go to the bank and tell them shes selling the house to this person. then as you said he will chose his payment method then go to land office ban money transfer is also as you said. thanks

One of the most helpful post so much. Well we bought the house 3 years ago. Its a new house not was a second hand. Im not sure if shes on the house book or not i have the book and will check it. But her name is on all paper work. Im confused about this mortgage thing. Some people says new buyer must go to the bank and agree on new contract or something like that. So its like take over the mortgage. Im not sure. So this is the story: i will take 600k cash for myself. And the rest 2.3 mil buyer must pay to the bank. But we will not mention to the bank about that 600k cash. We will tell them we are selling it for the same amount as bank loan. So what should be steps for me to do: 1) tell the mortgage bank that ex wife wants to sell the house. 2) go to land office and pay the tax and name change thing: 2.3 mil %5 ? = 115k ?? ( this includes tax too or thats another expense?) 3) get 2.3 mil and close the mortgage. Anything else? Thanks a lot

Yes..

Yes i ignored some Well im making 600k profit and shes not asking anything. Well seems im making 600 - 83 thanks

I will make 600k profit

Yes her real house is in khon kaen. So this is like her second. Well if not paid i would be outside by now. Its 3 years as i said. Bank would take over it by now. Shes not like that. She has phd and very high position in government So that 83k seems right.. ok thnx

Well... for 3 years i paid to her yes she paid. Some thai women are not like the wonen you met bro...

i think its up to her age and occupation also its not your wish how many years but bank decides that regarding to her age and work. of course if your wife is around 30s age, she will probably get longer time. i would say can 25 or 30 yrs. but im telling you.. the interest will be crazy. im paying my new house 3 years now. and i just relized today that all the 3 years payment's literally 50% went to interest. so im paying for 3 years but its like i paid 1 year and 7 months... god.

hi im selling my house. i bought with a bank mortgage. its a new house.. when i was divorcing my ex wife said i can keep the house and keep paying bank mortgage to her and she will pay to bank. so i did like that its already 3 years and last year suddenly she started to say she doesnt want the mortgage and i must close it or find someone to change the name. well not many options i said ok. now its time to do it. an important question and need urgent answer i found someone who wants to buy the house. but what we will do is he will pay me some cash money and we will go to the bank and he will ask for new payment method and take the bank loan on him and continue to pay monthly to the bank. well my ex wife is from khon kaen and shes registered there, but the house is in nonthaburi, the bank is in bangkok (i think) so one of my friend told me that i have to pay lot of money. he asked me to see the house and bank contract and did some calculations and told me it will be around 83K to change the name. not sure to the bank or to the department of land. but its 83K so i havent asked to bank but i asked my ex to ask to bank but not sure how fast she will ask or when. but this saturday i need to explain the situation to the buyer. is i true that i have to pay that much? normally if someone registered to bangkok and buy in bangkok and sell its only around 10K-30K why its more expensive when if you are registered to another city? PS: is there any surprises i need to know that i need to be ready or do you have any suggestions? thanks

well i could explain you with probably a full of a page reason just from what i read from your first post. simply: im here for 17 years and i can tell you that thailand is not for you.

dont come and live here

OP this is what i did, dont know will help or not: i divorced just covid was newly happening and like the next 2 days it was impossible to fly or go out via border. everything was just started to close and yes, it was really at that time. everything was about to get close. the thing is immigration has no idea that you are divorced. amphue and immigration has no contact. the only way they can know is you or wife inform them. so i told my ex wife that covid is starting and it wont be possible for me to leave thailand in 1-2 days because there is no way i cannot come back and work like the rest of the world. just to let you know that at that time there was no covid visa extension. she said ok. so i didnt informed the immigration which gave me almost another year. and after a year it was little bit better but still cannot leave the county because of covid. so i contacted to an agency. she helped me with another 1 year extension and i also told about that to my ex wife and explained the situation. she said ok. so i got another year. then another year borders were close but flights were started with very hard restrictions. so i bought a ticket and decided to go back to my country and also to get a non-b visa (because im working with thai government) when i was exiting from thailand i still had 1 month and the IO at the gate asked me if im planning to come back because he said i still have time and i can get re-entry and i told him im planning to come back but not soon (it was a lie because i was going to come back in 2-3 weeks) and i just told him like this because i wanted him to cancel my agency done visa so i would get rid of that fake thing (yes, it is even so many people say its not) and to be clean. at that time i didnt noticed but it turned out later that he put some kind of different exit stamp because of my non-o (this will be important soon in my story). so did my non-b. and came back to thailand. at the airport no problem at all. so easy now.. things started being interested when i went to extend my non-b to 1 year. changwattana IO was great. credits to her. i gave her all paper work from my company and she WAS ready to do the stamp for 1 year... TILL she suddenly noticed my ex non-o wife extension and i left the country without re-entry AND i came here with a different visa. TATAAA. she then stopped stamping my passport then she looked at me and she asked me.. where is your wife? that was the moment i knew i .... up. i told her shes in khon kaen, working. she told me she has to be here because she (IO) has to link the visas. i was like.. ok its all done. im done. its over, the game is over. everything is gone! stay overs, forging papers, using illegally agency.. you name it. its done. i must point here i can speak fluent thai and esan also im working for the royal thai airforce. then she just look at that papers and said do you have copy of your wife Id, marriage certificate and house book.. i said yes but photo in my phone.. she said yes ok. i did copy and gave to her. and i asked her to make it clear if i need all these again for my next extension and she said NO. this first time was just to link the visas. I have no idea what 'link visas' is. i was so lucky and i do believe it was just because i was speaking with her thai and being very nice plus royal thai airforce thing. my next extension had no problems at all. SO.. be very careful about your decision. it will effect your visa. if you chose to do anything without notifying the immigration and at your next step it might end up asking to see your marriage certificate. i strongly suggest divorce and go to the immigration immediately and notify them. they will give you 24 hours. at the immigration they will ask you to see your red divorce document which has a date. that's the date you have 24 hours. So talk to your ex wife and ask her if she can wait till you organize your exit. good luck and sorry for your divorce.. i know how it feels.

if you are looking for a reason to stay in thailand.. from the way of your question.. seems the non-o retirement is best option and seems cheaper than ED visa. your agency can do all

if you are talking about TM30 yes, you need to do a new one if you will start to live there. house owner house book copy, your passport copy.. house contract. if the house belongs to your daughter probbaly her papers to prove this.

i dont know the same thing or not but this is what happened to me about 2 weeks ago: i ordered dart arrows for my dart board. it was seriously cheaper than it should be. normally its around 1500s but this one was 480 baht I had a bad feeling but i saw some good comments. of course cash on delivery. I would never buy before delivery. and first time i noticed (im using lazada a lot) the delivery was the seller was doing his own delivery. ok.. interesting. And yes, from China. so the next day it was packed. great.. well 1 week passed and it was still packed. so i send a message and asked him when hes planning to send it. no answer.. 2 weeks passed and still packed. well i gave up so didnt care anymore. i would say 16th day it said rejected from the customs.. the seller messaged me in 1 hour and asked me if i cancelled the order. and i told him was not me i can see the reason, customs. then he said customs cancelled it because its 'sharp item' at that time it sounded right to me. then he told me i can asked for refund, i said its ok. that was it.. after a day, i was thinking what was that?! i mean there are many many items can pass the customs.. dart arrows cannot?! when i think now it sounds not real. also how come the seller doesnt know i paid cash or cash on delivery? they cannot see the payment? Also why he kept as 'packed' like 2 weeks?! well first time happened to me. next time when im buying i will check the delivery method. PS: im aware the covid situation in china and saw many things on TV about the delivery problems in china

dont know will help you or not but if im not mistaken it may take between 3 days to 1 week to get 1 year bank statement. just keep that in mind and plan your time.

im so surprise and confuse when someone shock or surprised when they get a visit from immigration regarding to their visa situation. It's clearly in the immigration rules. also why people so stress about it. they come stay 5-10 min and go. In many european countries this procedure is more complicated and more difficult. plus its not a new thing in thailand. i lived in Khon Kaen 10 years and know many times my friends visited. plus guys coming to homes are really nice and polite and really fun to chat with them.

you will do everything about your visa in your case where you are living at the moment.
