it does vary by bank for example, HSBS will let you use a overseas address, Lloyds won't but they will let you use an overseas number.

they won't build one, they will just allocate a budget which will get lost along the way ....

that's coming in the new visas at the higher prices,

£203 x 52 weeks its £10,500

they are being pursued for "crimes" (in the eyes of the Chinese Government) committed pre 2020, so they are in fact back dating the law and pursuing whoever they wish for political means - china is becoming an ever more dangerous place

Because they would have to work twice as hard to make the same money given that Bolt is so much cheaper, they don’t really want to work too hard ….

not without the cancelled broadcast contract ...

I used white enamel paint on the brackets and that makes them look much better

bit tricky to sell shares in an inactive company though .....

You can have an account with HSBC in the UK with a Thai address, if you are a UK Citizen.

they have to have the balls to crack down on the locals not following the laws, tourists look at local driving without helmets (often straight passed the police), driving the wrong way on roads etc and just assume it must be ok. Looking around most locals have stopped abiding by the laws, the police don't enforce the rules on locals, and tourists will start doing the same.

also illegal to take photos of people without permission

It works very well I have the same card issues in Hong Kong, works even better as a debit card to use in shops as they give you 0.4% cash back and no fees verses a 220 baht charge in a Thai ATM

most seem to be staying for 12 months based on the rentals they are taking out, the question is on what visas?

There’s a mush higher percentage of people not wearing masks in china than in Thailand.

It’s not about knowing the laws it’s about predicting what will change next ….

It’s true in real numbers sure but China actually has the lowest birth rate of any country, indeed they are predicted to reduce their population by 500 million in the next 30 years as a result of the one child policy . Even thought that policy had been relaxed it hasn’t encouraged the masses to have bite kids as living in China had got too expensive
