    PINK ID Card UK National format

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Posted

    Good day are Thai pink ID cards written in a way that can distinguish the nationality of the holder. For example, do countries have numbers linked to them.

    USA 001-123468-1091

    UK 440-456789-1010

    Mongolia 967-123456-1234

    lao 7701

    I am not asking for anyone’s specific number, but wondering specifically for UK Nationals, the first four or five digits.

    WISE Transfer Troubles

    in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments

    Posted

    I've been using Wise for over 2 years, and I'm very happy with it

     

    are you transferring Candian Dollars to your Bangkok Bank, which will convert to THB???

     

    i normally send home currency (USD) to wise and it stays in home currency (USD), once I'm ready to convert i then do the conversation inside WISE.

     

    so i will have 2 different currencies inside of WISE

    once conversion is done 

    i then make another transaction to send the converted THB to my Bangkok bank

     

    it may sound ;like I'm making too many steps, and paying twice but I'm happy doing it that way.

    so my method could take 5 days depending on what day I start this (2 step) process ?

     

    and perhaps my method is of no use to you and your question

    As has previously been advised, they need to make separate applications though they can be submitted together.

    if you need any further pointers, you need to provide more details before anyone can offer any meaningful advice.

    It’s ok, i made 3 separate applications 

    only one was under age so that was linked to Mother

    I would disagree, I don't expect (nor desire) to live to age 77.

    But I would like to choose where I die, which is not in a UK nursing home.

    No need to run up expensive medical bills, accept death when it comes.

     

    I don't 'self-insure' or have any insurance, and don't intend to pay for long term medical care. It's not required, at 66 I've already had my life.

    so you're in denial

    what happens if you become incapacitated, who will you burden with the problems you can longer fix

    I tried this method earlier

    and got this response 

     

    From MAGNA CARTER The process is as follows:
                             
    First, we need to value the property for a fee of 4,500 THB and then we receive a report giving us the property value, also checking that it's legal.
                             
    Once we have that report, we can lend from 50-60% of the value of the property.
                             
    The terms of the loan is as follows:
                             
    1)      Period from 6 months up to 5 years.
                             
    2)      Interest is 12% per year. The first 6 months interest are taken up front then it can be paid monthly.
                             
    3)      The loan is secured by way of a registered mortgage on the property. The ownership of the property stays in the owner’s name.
                             
    4)      There is a government fee of 1.1% to be paid (from the total of the loan) for the registering of the mortgage at the land office.
                             
    We charge a one time fee of 5% of the value of the loan being the set up fee and for us arranging the funds and to make sure the lender is secured through the transaction.
                             
    Apart from the valuation fee of 4,500THB all the other fees can be deducted from the loan amount.

    Alternatives To Celebrex  ??

    I believe they're are several creams-lotion-GEL available now, which cause less side effects to oral medication 

     

    however these creams-lotion-GEL should also be used for short period of time 10-14 days, and then take a break

     

    they key ingredient is DICLOFENAC, but of course take professional advice for any recommendation 

     

    I was using a GEL which had Diclofenac I can't remember the exact name, it worked very well

    as a previous posts says

    if you happen to have 2 passports or 2 forms of ID you MUST hide the one which you don't want to use, waving it around certainly won't help

     

    I'm guessing the IO at BKK arrivals told this young girl "yes yes no problem' then stamped her UK passport.

    it would save the IO lots of time and effort.

     

    lets see what the UK passport has inside it.
