IGCKorat are you using the 800,000 banked method or the monthly 65,000 method to meet the financial requirements? My reason for asking is that my own extension falls due in April and while a 6 months statement has been acceptable in previous years your original post suggests this may have altered.

I came to the conclusion some years ago that emails to companies don't work here. I resort to LINE now and, more often than not, get a response.

Thailand has a regulatory body, the Thailand institute of Occupational Safety and Health - TOSH. However, if I understand this correctly, the onus is on the employer to appoint safety officers rather than TOSH appoint its own independent inspectors. Clearly the current arrangements don't work. It's time for the government to fund a fit for purpose health and safety executive with sufficient clout to imprison offenders and levy huge fines on any company that fails to abide by the relevant regulations.

Good idea, share the costs 😁

Wise have done their bit, the dispute lies between Kasikorn Bank and Krungthai Bank. You probably gone as far as you can as Joe Public. This is an interbank problem which you can't resolve under your own steam. Try contacting Kasikorn's helpline and Krungthai's helpline. If that fails you could contact the Thai Banking ombudsman.

If you do decide to go ahead with this, it would be very interesting if you reported back once you had the opportunity to trial them for a reasonable period.

Congratulations and best wishes.

Google lists the following as acceptable witnesses, Notary Public: A Notary Public is a strong option as they are officially recognized. Lawyer: A barrister, solicitor, or advocate authorized to practice in the country where the declaration is made. Medical professionals: A doctor, surgeon, dentist, nurse, pharmacist, or optician. Police force: A member of a police force. Government officials: A civil servant, government employee, or a local government officer. Other recognized professions: The specific list can vary, but generally includes professions like accountants, teachers, bank officials, or ministers of religion. Hopefully you can find someone to help you among this list.

Yes, you can safety ignore the reminder for the old expiry date.

So it's an email that's gone astray? I expect you have already checked this but on the off chance you haven't, have you checked your email spam folder?

Sorry, just seen your subsequent post where you state that you used your old passport number. However, it doesn’t alter the fact that you need to get your visa stamps transferred to your new passport and then you will need to do your 90 day report.

Forgive me if I have got this wrong but it sounds as if you have failed to notify Immigration of your new passport and have not had the visa stamps transferred. Would I be correct in thinking that when you submitted your 90 day report application online you used your new/current passport number? If so, rejection was inevitable as they would have no record of a visa issued under that passport number. Your old passport became invalid the when you applied for a new one. As Sophon has already stated your first action needs to be to visit Immigration to have your visa stamps transferred to your new passport. The only small consolation is that it's a free service.

Passport office, not embassy.

My PEA bill shows my address in Thai which obviously wasn't going to be of any use. I used my UK bank account which shows the anglicised version of my Thai address.

What information does Bangkok Bank hold? What address do they have on record for you? Did the passport you opened the account with expire? Try ringing their international helpline on 66 02645 5555 it's open 24/7.
