Try Korea, Oct./Nov. is really nice there with Fall in the air. Rooms are not too bad price wise and you can jump on a train for a good self tour.

I have a 960 and have had no problems, feels good driving with all that steel around me.

Simple answer is yes..............No problem

Lets get this subject off the net it serves no prepose. Just get a MOD to mod the mods

this topic is going nowhere and should be stopped

I have had several BBQ's with Thai friends over and when they walk into my yard they smell ribs/chicken/ beans/ and steak I have never had any left overs. I do spice up the steak ect.

Try the New Travel lodge, located near hospital, tesco, ect. nice pool also runs about 800bt.

If you head to Sa kaeo you would be going way out of your way............

Pretty dumb reason to get married

All I had show for my OA retirement was a copy of my bank statment, downloaded copy of Thai medical form which was sign by a VA doctor for free and a local police report stating no wants or warrants a very simple procedure/ this was through the Houston thai office via FedEx never even had to go there. There are pros and cons to both ways of getting a long term visa but for the wife and I not knowing anyone here in Thailand or speaking the lanuage the OA in America was much easier than jumping hoops here for the first time. It was nice to arrive and know we had time too sort all procedures out.

If I can be of futher help just give a yell, I am located down by amway

I have received items through FedX but have no idea if they have a office here or not. First item was sent five days prior from the US

Sorry but I feel the same way as the law, she has lied cheated other people out of a chance she should be deported................

Need a bit more info on what you are looking for:

The Thai Marriage Visa requires a document from the U.S. embassy proving "Evidence of Income" .... I did a quick search of the U.S. Bangkok Embassy site but didn't find anything.

Anyone know what is required to get this document? Tax records, bank account statements, pay stubs?

Thanks for any tips.

All, you do is attest to the amount that you fill in on the paperwork and pay the fee takes about 10min.. No additional paper work is required at this time

bump

please note the change in venue as opposed to discussed in the old thread.

cheers

So I guess this will be open to the entire expat communitty internet wide not just americans?

No if you read the statement it is for US citizens............

Sorry to confuse everyone but when I extended my visa (retirement) in Feb. at Pong Nam Ron a medical certificate was required. As stated before even if not required by law for 30bt I will carry one from now on.............

The 40,000 baht income requirement is for people who ask for an extension based on marriage to a Thai wife.

Well, if I am 29 and have 800,000+ Bhat in the bank can I get a retirement visa?

No

People have been warned since early Feb. 2010 about possible problems and still they came why are they crying foul play now..........?

I have arrived in Suvarnabhumi about 20 times in the last two year. I never had a bad experience. A good attitude (smile) when you are the desk and proper documentation is key.

I don't understand all these people that complaint about immigration at Suvarnabhumi. I think they actually bring that onto themselves

I completely agree.................Never had a problem and service has always been excellant with a "Wecome home added"

For the cost of multi the wife and I get it every year, just for that cosy feeling that if we want to go somewhere there is no running around just go. For the first time OA if you can get a multi go for it.

I agree with the JusMag solution and I think you should also make appointment with JusMag to get get your wife a ID card and get her listed on the DEERS program as soon as possible. Also not sure if you have her on your tax rolls but check with social security about any payments and what you have to do now to insure she is covered.

Magic Jack is the best I have found, just buy one at walmart or online and send it to your friend then pick up you phone and call its that simple...........

invest in a magic jack, you can call anywhere in the US and Canada $19.95 per year ...Works great

You can withdraw money using an ATM for a small fee from international bank accounts so long as your card can access Cirrus or Plus. There would be a daily limit, arriving with a large amount of cash may not be the best move. As well as you may think you know your fiancé there are many tales of woe and leaving lots of cash lying around is tempting fate.

Why not just change banks?? Several of the US banks will do either monthly or recurring transfers.
