Samui immigration now allow you to get the bank documents the day before your appointment as all appointments are for 0830am.

If you can, do the online learning before you go and print off the qr codes. It will save you a lot of wasted time at dlt, having to watch them there.

What is it you don't understand?It seems perfectly clear to me.

Yes they do. If you are a Samui resident, you get a discounted fare. The usual fares are for tourists and non residents.

You need to be licensed to operate and regardless of size, if it has a camera on board it needs to be registered with the Thai CAA. Cannot fly within 30 metres of a building or over a village or within 9 km of an airport.

Immigration will do it for 500 baht. I get my Dutch one done here at Samui Immigration.

RBS / Natwest have refused to send debit/atm cards to Thailand for the last ten years. According to them it's because "post to Thailand has been getting intercepted", which is rubbish. They are sending out active cards instead of cards that need to be activated through Internet banking so the problem is of their own making.

Wrong.

I have an scb cardex platinum card. If you spend 100,000 a year there is no charge. If not it is 400Thb per year charge, although I always phone them up and complain and they waive the charge. Credit card is a misnomer in Thailand, as with SCB you have to deposit B100,000 in an account as security, which you can't touch, in order to get B50,000 "credit" limit.

Yes. SCB. Have had one for20 yrs.

Friend needs to do TM30

Same in any country. It's called probate.

When If you want duty relief on used personal and household effects on change of residence, you would have to be on a long term visa I believe, eg non O retirement. Then you have up to three months after you arrive to import the goods, usually only paying T money as used effects are tax free on change of residence. A non O is only valid for 90 days.

As long as you bring the household items in within 3 months of your arrival there is no duty to pay. Easier to do it in your name as long as you are coming in on a long term visa, eg O retirement or OA retirement.
