Has this been sorted... Does it show international transfer??

I've seen no reports to the contrary since it was introduced, but Transferwise insist it's not 100% guaranteed. If they have issues with the "regular" transfer route, their systems could automatically send money via an alternative one, similar to what happened last July that kicked off all the fracas.

I agree with a lot of what you said but I only ever use miles for upgrades. Mostly with Emirates and always from business to first I’ve never been refused an upgrade. Only once did I try to use miles to upgrade from Economy to business and the tax cost made me feel it just wasn’t worth it.

Agreed, the best value for miles is usually found in upgrades rather than ticket purchases.  Emirates shouldn't be charging anything for Economy to Business upgrades unless you were departing from the UK (and a couple of other minor countries) and it's really the government that is demanding higher APD for non economy class tickets rather than Emirates.  It's avoidable by doing your upgrade on board, but that too has its problems.

OP.  I have purchased miles several times on popular on line auction sites so not quite what you're asking about.  All I would advise is be very careful and make sure you fully understand what you're doing.  The  whole area is fraught with danger but the rewards can make it worthwhile.

There is no counter, just a couple of employees occupying a few airport seats, probably a bit closer to Door 7 than 8.  Normally these are ones that back onto the last escalator.  They often have company polo shirts on.

Never tried to book it at short notice (ie from the airport), but not sure how the booking would get to the airport staff as they appear to work from printouts and not any sort of real time computer link.  Would be interested in hearing from anyone that's actually done this.

Completely wrong and you're also confusing visa on arrival with visa exempt entry. Know the terms!!

I think that may already have been mentioned.  Read the thread!!

Look at the online registration page and you'll see where to find a house ID number, and once you've entered the accommodation type a box will appear at the bottom of the page showing the documents required.  Your lease should do for the second one.

Not sure how to make it stick if using the app though.

You can side load it from one of the many companies who seem to store apk files for reasons unknown to me.  Here's a link for one:

https://apkpure.com/immigration-eservices/th.go.immigration.immeService

I've heard (but can't confirm) it may not to be updated automatically as not obtained through Play Store.  The current version at that link is the latest version.  1.0.26

Didn't see your post before I replied to another member.

 

So, to confirm, closed? 

So I've been told and I believe the original source was their own facebook page.

If he'd posted "Thais of Indian descent" would that have made you feel better?

Now also mentioned in that thread the remaining section has also closed.

Along with Secrets, then Scoosecrets, a failing formula? 

Now closed again, although rumours of it re-opening in a few weeks already.

However, when later prompted to upload the various supporting documents I was not required to upload anything relating to employment status.

I submitted private pension summary documents to identify myself as retired IIRC.  Did you upload anything similar?

my goodness for the love of god, rent.

Where does he say he's thinking of buying and not renting?

Don't know where the OP is from, but that's how these contracts work in the UK as well.

TO stands for Toshiba as you've no doubt guessed.  NCE is for Natural Colour Enhancer which is a Toshiba approach for colour optimisation on display devices such as projectors.  You can see it mentioned in the link attached.  I suspect the laptop has been connected to a projector at some point and whatever it needed to operate the projector hasn't been removed correctly, leaving you the shortcut to nowhere.  That or the same technology was used by Toshiba maybe in the display driver for the laptop itself.

As to how to remove it, I have used Revo Uninstaller in the past to tidy up partially removed programs, but it sounds you can't find what you'd like to remove, ie whatever is calling the .lnk file, but maybe the above will point you in the right direction.  Alternatively remove any display drivers or anything that looks like it may be related and re-install.

NB.  The above might be totally off the mark, but it's my best shot.

You don't have to be too smart to see same requirements coming for an O Visa with retirement ext in near future.

The general opinion over a couple of threads in the visa forum seems to be that is not the case.

Run something like Malwarebytes on your computer.

plus I guess other hidden fee from the currency conversion itself.

Yes, Bangkok Bank will convert at their published rates which are usually about 0.5% below interbank.

Then it has to be number 4 !

Not necessarily.  Your card could be cloned when using at an ATM or details been obtained during your recent on line purchase.  Also, your laptop/PC could have been compromised, and all these are potential opportunities.

You should be able to see on line if they were purchases or transfers or ATM withdrawals which may help.

You can only change once per year so make sure that's really what you want before you do it.  It can take a few hours before it takes effect.

Which page now has the 'accept' button greyed out now so I can't even get to the page where you enter your details before being told instead to contact your local IO. Is this an 'app', I have no idea, I thoughts apps were only for phones. 

Apps are for phones, and the TM47 one is less than 3 years old.  However, you're using the website which has been around for ~ 4.5 years as claimed.

You have to tick the box to agree to the Ts and Cs before the "Accept" button turns blue.

Thanks I thought I was going mad when ubonjoe said I was wrong. 

Ubonjoe quite correctly said the online application was over 4 years old.  The post you just replied to was talking about the app.  Which one are you trying to use?

I forgot to mention, if you have renewed your passport during this time, they require your old and new passport to waste a tree with.

Ha ha, I got hit with that too, but just the new one.

OP is conspicuous by his absence despite having been on line.  Maybe realised he was wrong?
