I can't imagine how or why foreigners would be exempt from this requirement, but we'll see how it goes. So far, all of the articles I've read have only mentioned mobile banking or "digital banking" with no real clarity on whether there will be any restrictions on transfers using computers accessing the banks' websites. Face ID on computers isn't as common as on mobile phones, so will such transfers be exempted?

That's correct, but for the first twenty years I had to supply a photo which was affixed in the red police book. When I reported after the twentieth year, I was told I no longer had to supply a photo. No form to fill out ever.

If you're from the US, best also look into how US tax and reporting requirements work when owing or having shares in a foreign company. Not impossible to be compliant with US tax laws, but it can impose another significant level of complexity and cost. Best to be aware in advance to make sure it is worth it.

Jack Reynolds penned the definitive bargirl book back in the 1950s when he wrote "A Woman of Bangkok". Everything since seems derivative.

Before working for Fox, he had stints at CNN, MSNBC and PBS, so whatever his true political leanings are, they either changed radically or he left them at the door when he went in to work in the morning.

Villagers upcountry sometimes perform elaborate days-long rituals with lots of chanting and offerings to spirits at the home of someone who is ailing in order to exorcise whatever is afflicting them. Perhaps you could look into arranging something like this.

Before the internet and mobile phones came to Thailand, I recall using landlines and relying on answering machines to leave messages. Used to write letters back then, too. Difficult to imagine today how we got along without mobile phones, but we did. Life moved at a slower pace.

It looks like it is referring to clause 2.4 of police order 327/2557 of June 30, 2014: http://www.thaiembassy.cz/uploads/download/EwgNBPpX8T2vY5jxRdR.pdf Is that the only stamp or notation immigration placed in his passport upon exiting?

PR provides a level of permanence that the annual non-immigrant visas don't. Once granted, PR has no on-going financial requirements, is not dependent upon marriage or employment, requires no 90-day or annual reports, and if one isn't planning to go abroad, there is no requirement to visit immigration ever again. It is less expensive than any of the Elite Visa plans and has no expiry date. For those with family commitments here, it is safer than relying on annual extensions that carry financial or other requirements that can change. I don't know how to put a price on that.

Some years ago I was in the same situation. A PoA was not necessary, but a letter of consent was and it needed to be witnessed by the Thai embassy or consulate where I was at the time. Here's a link that explains. https://sydney.thaiembassy.org/en/publicservice/95928-thai-passport-for-minors-under-20-years-of-age Although this website may be geared towards those requesting passports abroad, it is also, I believe, applicable to passport issuance in Thailand.

March bill: 773 kWh, 4,204.55 baht. April bill: 1119 kWh, 6,197.45 baht. Usage increase: 44.76% Cost increase: 47.04% March cost per kWh: 5.44 baht April cost per kWh: 5.54 baht Cost per kWh increase: 0.10 baht. Cost per kWh percentage increase: 1,84%. Seems the effect of any change in fuel tariff or the marginal cost of additional units versus average unit cost in prior month isn't significant. I did not subtract the fixed cost of 24.62 baht from either bill. Why did usage increase? Primarily because daughter was home from school due to Songkran break running aircon 24/7 plus additional workload on aircons due to hotter weather. No real surprise for me, but apparently many people in our mooban are outraged at their higher electricity bills.

I tend to think if it as a modified personal accident cover. The trigger for coverage is a vehicle accident, which is narrower than a typical PA policy. The insured/beneficiary is the general public, not the owner of the vehicle, which is wider than a PA policy There is also no requirement to identify the vehicle causing injury or death, meaning that hit-and-run type accidents are covered, so it isn't always specific to a vehicle. It is basically a no-fault scheme intended to provide benefits to the general public injured or killed in vehicle accidents. It shifts some costs from hospitals and the public to vehicle owners, or at least to those who pay for the Por Ror Bor sticker.

The mandatory (Por Ror Bor) scheme provides limited medical expense, death and disability benefits to persons injured or killed in vehicle accidents. These benefits operate independent of fault and apply to drivers, passengers and pedestrians equally. Medical expenses are capped at 80,000 per person, death at 500,000 per person and daily compensation while hospitalized is 200 per day. This scheme provides no third-party liability coverage for either bodily injury or property damage, so it is not adequate to address major risks associated with ownership or use of vehicles. Acceptance of Por Ror Bor benefits does not extinguish a third party's right to claim damages against an at-fault motorist. The legislation mandating this scheme was enacted because hospitals were complaining about bearing the burden of treating accident victims who could not pay even for basic treatment.

Pesky Rahu, eating the sun again!

Insurance might not cover instances where it can be proved that the speaker knew that the defamatory statements were false, yet stated them with malice or disregard for the facts anyway. In other words, knowingly wrongful acts are often excluded. This may be one of the reasons why Fox was so careful with their non-apology apology and why they wanted to avoid a court case proving this.

The RTP just need to swap out their current cards for the new AI cards for their GT200s.

Just checked a law firm's website and indeed there is a category for supporting Thai spouse or family. I stand corrected.

I also had about a decade of work and tax records when I applied and I did not have a very formal interview, although it was in Thai. Only one officer sat with me for a few minutes and asked a couple of questions about my work and salary. Nothing difficult and all the questions were about my application and supporting documents. Nothing like "who is the prime minister" or anything like that. I'm not even sure that this was the formal interview. If it wasn't, then I did not have one. But that was back in the 1990s and times have changed and so has the application process.

I was married for less than one year when I applied (successfully) for PR back in the 1990s. My application did reference the marriage and that my wife was expecting. Since Immigration followed up and asked for a copy of the birth certificate during the course of the review period, clearly the marriage and child did count for something. Having said that, I don't believe that there is a category for PR that is based upon marriage to a Thai. The requirements are visa, tax and education for the most part. Being married to a Thai may help, but isn't the basis for PR.

Brings a new meaning to the term "Chinese takeaway".

Ecstasy isn't a narcotic. That designation is reserved for opioids and similar. Law enforcement seems to have hijacked the term and lazy journalism perpetuates the mistake.

The dirty tricks are baked into the constitution and the Senate.

When filing form 114 (FBAR), FinCen asks for your email address and then sends a confirming email to acknowledge receipt of the completed form. If you have access to the email account you used when filing, you may be able to find the acknowledgement email if it hasn't been deleted. No idea how to go back and review the form after submission without contacting FinCen other than looking at a copy saved when filing.

You need to report each of them individually on the FBAR form. Once the value of all accounts combined exceeds the equivalent of USD10,000, all accounts, regardless of individual balance, need to be reported.

I stand corrected. There is a semi-automatic version available which is legal in most states in the US.
