OK I see it's the stock symbol for Bangkok Bank.

What is BBL? I don't know this bank.

At which bank can you operate a US-Dollar account for foreigners via online banking? (Transfers, including transfers out of Thailand)

This is new information for me. They clearly explain that is must be "unearned income such as pension, rental, capital gain, dividend, etc.". "SUCH AS" this sounds like there is no difference which of these you get. I am above 50, don't have an "official" pension yet, but dividends above 80,000.- from a company where I own shares. Looks like I meet the requirements but still don't qualify?

Can someone help me with these questions regarding the "Wealthy Pensioner" USD 80,000.- per year income LTR? - What timeframe is considered? I know that in the two years before the year of the application the pension income must be 80,000.- per year. But are there no more checks later on? - 80,000.- before or after tax? - The 80,000.- must be sent to Thailand? Or is it ok if received outside of Thailand? - Yearly means it does not have to be distributed to 12 month of the year. One time payment of 80,000.- per year is ok?

I think it is quite standard internationally that you bring a form to the electricity company, both the owner and the tenant sign on the form, and from the starting date entered the tenant is responsible to pay the bill, with the tenant's name on the bill.

I never rented a condo in Thailand, but if someone owns a condo and has a longterm tenant, the owner is always responsible for the tenants utility bills to be paid? This is quite unusual compared to other countries.

Hi, I will live in my GF's house, but will pay the electricity bill (and other utilities). Is it possible to get the electricity bill in my name? Should we setup a faked rental contract to get this? Reason, I need the utility bill as proof of residence for various purposes. (Certificate of residence from immi is not enough.)

Schwab International requires a Tax ID No. for account opening. How did you open an account with your Thai residency if you don't have a Thai Tax ID? Any ideas?

Hi, Did anyone bring in more than USD 20.000.- cash and declared it at customs at Suvarnabhumi airport? - How was the process? Easy / difficult / frightening? - Did they ask you about the source of funds? - Did you get an FET form? Thanks

Unfortunately there is no remedy for human stupidity. Seems we deserve the next pandemic.

I wonder if pensioners qualify if they had 80.000.- investment income during the bull market the last years. Now no income but loss in 2022.

Thanks. Yes, I have the IDP. I already asked the DLT and they said it must be the IDP under convention 1949. This is what I have.

My wife told me that there is no combined driving licence in Thailand (for car AND motorbike), but I need two seperate licences. So do I need all these documents 2 times if I want to apply for car and motorbike driving licence at the same time? - Residence certificate - Medical certificate - Translation of my home country driving licence? I will apply in Bangkok Chatuchak.

It‘s not Baht weakness, it‘s Dollar strength. Even my dog knows this already.
