A Recommended Visa Agent
lopburi3 replied to Southsealad's topic in Philippines Visa and Immigration
Unless you are asking to get a retirement visa (some good deals on such for special groups) there is no need for any visa agent. You can stay for 3 years just extending original entry before you have to leave for 24 hours and start again. Nobody is going to tax anything - but until you get ID card will have to use bank ATM or money transfer service for funds (first few months) as card required to open bank account. In any case your location will be a major factor on any recommendations. -
Normal recommendation is about every six months (cleaned on wall - only outer case removed - power wash with detergent). And they normally need this cleaning and you will notice colder air. Only costs about 600 baht from most stores and about an hours work for both units. Take a look at the water coming down from wall unit if is any doubt of the need for cleaning.

If from USA that is the method used - 65k per month documented to come from overseas for income method. As for Embassy/Consulate they are not immigration so could accept something else for visa issue - but suspect this is just an oversight as the 65k per month is only required for about 3 countries - all others immigration will accept Embassy letter of income. If you can not meet the income requirement the 800k in bank account only needs 2 or 3 months before one year extension can be provided. The requirement for extensions is show of bank passbook plus one year of bank statements - suspect Embassy would be the same - if they accept.

Facebook? My phone number appears as (+66)xxxxxxxxxx on LAZADA.

If you have Google account just use that for log in - have been doing that for the many months without issues.

I seriously doubt that signature would be accepted as it was the previous system and is no longer accepted by Immigration. The current income proof is 12 months of 65k or above each month to a Thai bank account in your name only. If you can use the 800k method you could convert tourist visa or visa exempt entry to one 90 day non O and extend for one year.

Actually CAT and TOT merged 3 years ago to become NT.
-
That may well be the issue - as suspect most do not install more than basic taps.
-
Am sure people have better luck than me but I have never had good luck with such units installed in hospitals or hotels - scalding hot more often than not as most places do not have cold enough water to mix it with. Understand units can be adjusted a bit but this does not appear to be the norm here (or too lazy to adjust several times a year as water temps change). Find local hot shower only much more to my liking.

Actually fan/lights ran normally (but slow for fans) even down to 99 volts. LED do have advantage. This happened about 0100 so TV not on and refrigerators all stopped.
-
Almost never needed for compressor. But these days often have circuit board failures with inverters and most will not be covered. Yes but they are very much the exception as building brand here.
-
In almost all cases almost worthless and only covers compressor failure - today it is the boards that fail and that is in most cases one year only.
-
Actually it could be the same problem - as I said my inside unit would run but outside would not - but turning off breaker for 5 minutes reset outside unit to start cooling again. But this does not appear to be your issue if now working normally except for turning off. Hate to suggest but remote is not set for for some operation that would keep it active (they build way too much into units for my old brain).
-
What brand is it? Have you turned off main breaker for few minutes and then turn on and see if it starts again? That will work for some board issues (until next power failure). But if have to replace board 3k is likely a good price - we paid 5,500 few weeks ago after voltage drop to 108v for extended period during the night.

I can say for a fact they did check this for my application at CW in June of last year and until they got proof in form of copies of previous year would not accept application because I had used income method but also had money in bank until 2 months after extension. Since then CW has been notating retirement extension of stay method used in passport from reports here.

Currently impossible to order on Tops Online since the recent upgrade

If you mean the Prime membership believe you can do that with account access. But perhaps turn up the AC and wait a few days - maybe there actually will be an improvement. Maybe. -
Thai government plans 7% VAT on imported goods from May

As said my visit last week was 7 hours including 2 hours of travel, here in Bangkok. Queue number 315 at 1124 (more than 200 still in queue ahead of me) and departed at 1625.

Suspect bank would not have a clue about immigration stamps - and they may well say you must provide a police report of loss for their books. At any rate believe you will have to visit your Phuket bank branch to (hopefully) resolve. Other option might be BBL Hqs here in Bangkok if that is in your routing.

This seems to fit your requirements - but price is about 18k for 2tb https://www.lazada.co.th/products/flagship-2024flagship-2024-bmax-b8-pro-mini-pc-windows-11-cpu-gen12-intel-core-i7-1265u-iris-xe-graphic-ram-24gb-ddr5-ssd-1tb-nvme-1-year-warranty-in-thailand-i2235361181-s20914470204.html?

I have older BMax and very happy with it. This at about 10k would seem to click your requirements and loaded with Win11 but 2TB is added by HDD (which is fine for data and tiny footprint). https://www.lazada.co.th/products/new-2024-bmax-b4-mini-pc-intel-12th-gen-n95-ram-16gb-ssd-512gb-windows-11-1-i3346863493-s21178099739.html?

That happened on my first order (Prime member) and did not catch it as checkout totally changed (not improved). Seems you have no choice of times anymore and they determine how it is shipped by the time of day (a noontime order was sent express within an hour).
