Did mine through the new website last week. First was an immediate reject. Changed the address format and resubmitted. Immediate accept.
Certainly seemed the process was automated with no human involved.

Well, if she makes near 200k/mth as seems to be the case there would always be young guys who think, heck, my days of being holed out in Bearing teaching English could be over. And, it's not that I can't have my cake and eat it too. I mean she's not home 8-8.

Lordie, the amount of vitriol aimed at the gentleman lucky enough to be dating a serious catch by members who found their wives top of a bar pole:-)
Heck, if this works out it could be great for us. Many have posted re banking issues. A Thai bank manager on call would be a godsend.
True story: years ago my friend Jon was being pursued relentlessly by an IO who was a friend of a colleague. He was/is a consultant on an expat pay package. We told him to go for it. But he said, nah, she's too pushy. Guess who he ended hitching up with. Yep, someone he met in the Nana Disco (in the Nana Hotel, years back when it was the one and only late night club as old timers may remember).
They're happy with three lovely kids but I sometimes think when dealing with 90-day/extension <deleted> how nice it would be to not have to worry because of a Mrs. Jon.

Here's a guess. You'll be alone in your dingy little room at midnight 31st ranting at the noisy party next door.

I also shortened my address. I did not enter the building name ( no red asterisk).
My case first rejected, then changed the address format, success. Address format seems key.

Agree, my reject and success were pretty much instantaneous.

I thought Indian skies were still closed to commercial travel except for few countries they bubble with, not TH as yet. So I would be surprised if there were any direct passenger flights from any Indian city to Bkk.

I suspect the OP tried but didn't get in. And thus began the long fall to AN pub.

I clicked on "International Certificate", but was redirected to a blank white screen. (I tried a few times)...
I had the same problem. Then went to Playstore and reinstalled/updated the app. Then I got the right screen.

It seems to work for some and not others (what a surprise!).
Yes, I am. The Mor Prom app shows both jabs. But the International Cert. icon leads nowhere.

The guys above listing points to look at don't know all the points. You are going to be at one end of a contract governed by Thai law. No poster in this thread has credible expertise in Thai contract law or the ins and outs of what to look for in a multimillion b. asset sale (prove me wrong - "I bought and sold 5 properties in the last 10 years" is laughable).
Get a reputable legal firm on your side. Think of it as health insurance. You may hate paying the premium each healthy year but that proverbial bus could be around the corner. Heck, even 50k b. legal fees is 1% of a 5mil deal. It's cheap insurance.

International operators like April, Cigna, Pacific etc. have a good rep. Local ones not so much. You get what you pay for. Like Pravda says it's emergencies you want to take into account when you want access to the best care, no questions asked. Which won't happen without insurance.
For planned procedures another option is India. Kolkata and Chennai (10k b. return air) have excellent hospitals costing a fraction of Thai private.

If I read your earlier posts correctly that means you could potentially land here with 40m b. That's plenty for a comfortable life style even if you choose to plonk your feet up and earn only from investments. As others said:
1. Spend a few months here before relocating permanently.
2. Rent, don't buy, at least until you know what you are doing.
3. Women? See 2.
If you are Asian-looking you'll actually find it easier to assimilate. You are not going to be seen as an ATM with arms and legs.

I would like to suggest there is more to owning property than the financial return
I did say financially it makes no sense to buy here. If other factors like pride of ownership etc. come in, then that's another matter. I make no claim other than financially.
1 hour ago, thaibook said:When renting you are at the mercy of the landlord especially in a country with no balanced system of justice.
Actually it's the other way around:-) Landlords, especially, those who make a business of it with multiple units are desperate for long-term residents. Case in point I moved into my place in 2002 for 25k/mth. After a couple of years told them that I won't move if they lower to 20k. They did and that's what I have been paying since.

And if you're staying here for more than a few years, then definitely buy, only an idiot would rent here for more than that length of time. I've owned my house for more than 10 years and have already saved over half of what it cost me by not having to pay 30K Baht a month to some stranger.
Hmm. I did the math years ago. Rented and kept the money in the US market. Made out like a bandit, i.e., made multiple times my rent money over the years.
Keep in mind rent is cheap here, typically 3-4% of purchase price. Unlike the US where it's more like 10%. And markets typically return 7%pa in the long run (though it's been much more than that past few years) so there's your differential right there. Plus in the US there's owner's tax breaks, not here.
Bottom line, financially there's no advantage to renting in Thailand if you have access to a western market to invest in. But, of course, some like to own, fair enough.

What is the condition, OP, that prevents you from masking up? We are all anonymous here so no one will be compromised in giving "personal" info.

Who processes online 90 day reports?

I have a copy of what worked but I'll try to remember what didn't the first time.
Fail (from memory)
Building Name / Owner Name: XYZ Tower
Address No: 12/34 Soi Mysoi
Soi/Road: Soi Mysoi, Myroad Road
...
Success
Building Name / Owner Name: Apt. 1234, XYZ Tower
Address No: 12/34
Soi/Road: Soi Mysoi
...
Address seems to be key. My guess the program checks (very simplistically) with the applicant's address on record. Suggestions:
1. Try to keep the formatting as close as possible to what worked before (online old system, mail-in).
2. If rejected keep trying with different address formats. I reapplied immediately after the reject so clearly a rejected app just resets the system to zero. So I am sure you can try repeatedly without penalty.
Good luck!
