Woke up this morning and saw this transaction on my BBL app. I called the customer service and they told me it was from a purchase by my debit card in the past but they were not sure which one. I told them that I've never purchased anything that much with my card because normally I scan QR for high price purchase. They told me they would investigate it and reply me on October 24th. Just want to ask if anyone has experienced this and what I should do to avoid this? My card is only linked to my Apple account (no purchase, no subscription with that price, I already checked), Shopee, Lazada, Grab, Lineman, FoodPanda.

Why do you think that buying with a credit card be an issue?   The VAT refund scheme does not depend on the method of payment.

I know but this time I will purchase with monthly payment by credit card. So I'm not sure if it's allowed for VAT refund or not.

Hi everyone, I just went to another clinic and they charge around 13k for the root canal and 2k extra for a temporary filling after putting the medicine inside the root. After that process, they would put the post and crown. I will visit 2 times and the payment will be divided. However, 2 other dental clinics insisted that I must do root canal 2 times and pay double the price (13-14k per root canal treatment so it means I have to pay 26-28k). That was why I created a topic to ask everyone about the experience.

Hi everyone, as far as I know, we can do VAT refund at the airport as long as the product is purchased within certain of days before leaving Thailand. I'm planning to buy an iPhone and a Macbook as gifts for my sister then claim for VAT refunds at the airport (I did it before when I bought myself an iPhone). However, this time I'm going to pay for the phone and Macbook with monthly payments by credit card so I'm not sure if I still can apply for the VAT refund. Hopefully someone has done this before and can share the valuable information about this.

I've just visited 2 dental clinics and one consulted me to do root canal for a total of 16k (3 visits). Another clinic told me that I would have to do it 2 times and each time cost 12k so it would be 24k. This sounds so strange because I've never heard that I have to pay for the whole price per visit. Can anyone explain for me about this pricing or tell about your experience of doing it?

Duration of stay is not really that important. I would put the length of stay the non-b visa allows.

Thank you very much

I suggest you look at this list for required documents to apply for the non-b visa. 

https://hochiminh.thaiembassy.org/en/publicservice/non-immigrant-b-to-work-in-thailand?page=5d80ab3315e39c2fe800a791&menu=5d80ab3215e39c2fe800a722

1. You have to have a employer to do the application. What kind of work will you be doing.

2. The visa will allow a 90 day stay in the country.

3. The one you will have after you get the visa.

All the documents are prepared by my company along with the WP3 form. I'm just confused a bit about the application form. The visa agent just told me 5 mins ago that I should fill "1 year" in the "duration of stay". Now I'm really confused, maybe I should leave that one blank and ask the officer at Thai Consulate when I apply for the visa there

Hi everyone, currently I'm waiting to apply for a Non-B visa to work in Thailand. I have some questions about the form and will be very grateful you anyone can help me.

1. "Occupation" - I've been working as a freelancer but not as a full-time employee. Should I fill with "Unemployed" or the position that I'm going to do in Thailand?

2. About the "duration of proposed stay", how should I fill this?

3. "Purpose of visit", I'm not sure if this one is about the previous visit above or the current one that I'm applying visa for

Thank you very much

It doesn't make any difference to this thread but I'm curious what Asian language it is?

It is Vietnamese, sorry for the late reply

There are no specific rules related to qualifications or experience in order to receive a work permit. However, the Labour Department is supposed to deny applications where there are Thais who are available and equally capable of carrying out the job in question. If you lack experience, you would need some other qualification (such as being a native speaker of a foreign language relevant for the job) to justify why you are better suited to the position than a Thai.

Thank you very much, hopefully I can be qualified for the visa. My job but requires strong skills of my language at a native level because the terms and phrases are difficult for those who are not native. It's like misunderstanding one word can change the whole situation, so they prefer native speaker more.

Hi everyone, I'm a fresh graduate and an international student in Thailand. Currently, I've been sending so many job applications and finally got a job offer. Now I'm signing all the papers to move on to the next stage. However, I heard a lot of rumors about foreigners are required to have at least 2 years experience to be accepted for work permit. I searched about work permit requirements in Thailand and couldn't find such things like that. Moreover, my position is not easy for Thais to do because most of the process will be conducted in my language (an Asian language) at a very difficult level, not in Thai. Would there be an exception for me to be accepted for work permit since my position is only for people who speak my language at a native and academic level? Since there are not many Thais who can do it.

Room-mate means sleeping inside same room as you. Do you mean apartment-mate sleeping inside separate room?

yeah, sorry for my bad grammar, that is what I need, a person who shares the whole room with me

Are you a boy or girl? What age? What orientation? Nationality? etc etc is what a potential roommate may want to know!

Sorry, I already edited above, thank you for recommending that information

I'm currently an international student at BU Rangsit, I'm planning to move into an apartment next to the uni, that apartment that has a 76m square room, that room has 2 bedrooms. Renting cost is 10,000 baht per month and if you're interested please contact me through line : thichanthitheo. I really need a roommate and I will bring the fridge and households from my old apartment so no need to buy new things

Suspect you mean you arrived a few days ago.  If you want frozen items/ice cream best to have two door but will cost more to buy and use and if only for you suspect small single door is all you need as a student.  

Would the single door one consume more electricity than the 2 doors one ? Which brand should I buy ?

And this condo does not already come furnished with a fridge ? Have you checked that you can add one ?

 

Which country did you fly in from ?

Nah, they don't provide fridge. I'm from Kazakhstan

So, what part of Thailand are you in right now ?

how long are you staying ?

What accommodation do you have ?

I live in Rangsit, I'm staying in a student condo right now, I'll go back to my country in May 2022

Sorry for the grammar guys, I edited, the long flight just blew my brain away 

I'm an international students and just moved  to Thailand for a few days, I want to buy a fridge just for only me to use. Should I buy a single door one or two doors ?
