Re-entry permit at Suvarnabhumi
daejung replied to SunsetT's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I got my re-entry permit at Chaengwatana when I got my year extension but I checked this morning at Airport. When I asked where the re-entry was, employees told me I had to go through passport control first. I then found the entry desk which can be accessed before or after passport conttol. Immigration officer told me that Chaengwatana could be better. According to her, it may be crowed and I may have to choose between my flight and a re-entry permit. -
It needs to be updated. Now : Tourists who buy goods worth less than 20,000 baht would not have to show them to customs officials during the refund process. Until now,the upper limit was less than 5,000 baht. The minimum price of ornaments, ornamentalgold, watches, eyeglasses, pens, smart phones, laptop and tablet computers, bags (excludingtravel bags) and belts that must be presented tocustoms is raised from 10,000 baht to 40,000 baht. Extra information : I am at airport after almost 6 months in Thailand. I made a short trip to Laos so I last entered in January. VAT Refund office told me I couldn't be considered as a tourist since I stayed more than 3 months (108 days) . They refunded me this time but told me they would not in the future

I transfer THB, converted by Wise, to my Bangok Bank Account. Bangkok Bank charges no fees in that case. I get on my Bangkok Bank account the exact amount in THB I sent.

A fee to get the license but very cheap (100 bahts). Without license you will not be allowed to export it, in case they find it in your baggage. Better to do as I did, maybe they'll give you the license, and if they don't give you the license you'll do your own way then ! Probably many people export without license, but if you're caught you'll have to leave it in Bangkok, which doesn't really matter if the statue has no value. I may not insert the link from the Bangkok Post. Google for it with "Exporting Buddha" https://www.dfdl.com/insights/news/what-are-the-rules-regarding-exporting-buddha-images-from-thailand-dfdl-article-in-the-bangkok-post/

By the way, up to now and again yesterday, I went to Chaengwattana with BTS Green Line, got off at BTS Wat Phra Sri Mahathat then took a taxi to Government Complex. On the way back, I noticed new BTS or MRT stations on the way back to BTS Wat Phra Sri Mahathat Is the Pink Line going to Government Complex with interchange at BTS Wat Phra Sri Mahathat open now ? Thanks

Non immigrant type O and opening bank account
daejung replied to bkkboy99's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I opened a bank account with Bangkok Bank (head office in Silom) in 2018. I entered visa exempt at that time. I couldn't use internet banking nor mobile banking. When I got a Non-O Visa, I got access to internet and mobile banking. By the way I did not need to deposit THB 800 000 (income method) Things may have changed since that time. -
