Using a Pattaya agent while living in Bkk

Not that I condone the use of agents but many up here in Isaan use Pattaya agents. -
Special Feature: What happens when a foreigner dies in Thailand???
IvorBiggun2 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
No need. My wife just carries on with the joint account as if I'm still here. She's been doing my/our annual money transfer with her Debit Card for a few years now. I could have died 10 years ago but they still don't refuse payment cuz my wife does the annual transfer. Same applies in Thailand. Joint bank accounts and she makes the withdrawals. No need for wills etc. Just joint bank accounts if you have a stable relationship. -

In the event of my death there really is no need to inform the bank as my wife can carry on making withdrawal's. She has her own Debit Card. She can make withdrawal's with that in Thailand or she can transfer via 'Wise' -
Please watch the video. it will help. Start from 4 minutes in please. A Thai guy at just after 4 minutes comes out of a junction to my right. He only looks at the last minute but continues to cross over to get in front of me. The accident was unavoidable on my part, I wasn't speeding and I wasn't DWI. If you look carefully whilst the guy is collecting himself, post collision, you'll see he's flicking his right leg. The leg/foot that operates the brakes. He has/had no right leg. It was a prosthetic one. He shouldn't have been out on the motorcycle. He had no insurance etc etc. Okay the police turn up and an ambulance and off he goes to hospital with minor injuries. The police take my details and I go home. Just after arriving home I got a visit from my insurance agent. I told him I had the accident on dash cam just before a police officer arrived and told me to report to the station. So off I go along with the insurance agent. I was directed to a room for what I assumed was for an interview. I entered into another world. The place was filled with the mans family. It looked like party time. I thought this is all done and dusted and I'm done for. I assumed the one legged man had already been interviewed. I had no one to speak on my behalf except the insurance man. Now I'm bricking it as obviously the family were looking to compensation. The insurance agent had taken a copy of the above video before we went to the station and he asked if the officer could take a look at it along with family members. Once that had been done the one legged man was asked to go out the room. His family was then spoken to. They were told that the man was not to ride a motorcycle anymore. The police were going to level a 13 hundred Baht fine on him but due to him being poor they waived it. I was allowed to go, no charges. I didn't come out of it Scot Free even though I was the innocent party. I lost the use of my car for 2-3 weeks and had to pay for fluids that were used in the repair. <deleted> Thais and the way they take reasonability for their actions on their roads.

Retirement visa registration

If that's the case then and you can't abide with Thai law then off you go back to the UK. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't like it if the UK became chock a block with migrants that are there illegally.
