House book for farang
sabaiguy replied to sirhowie's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I originally opened it in 2019. With the experience I described. I forgot to mention I had two Thais as witnesses (?) or to vouch for me (?). My wife and her nephew (RTP). They never talked to them. I was away for 3 years during Covid. When I returned in 2023 I discovered BB had closed my account (I assume because of inactivity}. I went to the bank with my old book and explained and they very easily just opened a new account for me. Chiang Rai. -

All I needed to open bank account was pp and METV (not a long term visa). No proof of address, no letter from immigration. No TM30. They did it with a smile and didn't take long. Bangkok Bank. -

Defamation laws exist in almost all western nations. They are useful and legitimate laws. It's how they are applied in Thailand that's the problem. -
Quick One: Residency Certificate
sabaiguy replied to BusNo8's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I applied this week at Chiang Rai immigration. Only provided 1 & 2 from your list. Told me to come back in a week to pick it up. No mention I had to pay anything. On LTR if that matters. -
I would say yes upload any 1099's you have. I originally gave them 2 years of 1040's and 2 years of 1099's (21 &22) they then came back and asked for my 2023 1040 (this was in March 24) no explanation why. Had to explain that we aren't required to file 2023 tax returns until April 2024. Uploaded a 2023 1099R which they excepted no problem.

Foreigner Poses as Immigration Officer, Assaults Pump Attendant
sabaiguy replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
My latest info is that it appears that he will get off with a wag of the finger and a slap on the wrist. Why is he being treated differently than the "kick in the back" guy in Phuket? Could it be that he speaks fluent Thai and has Thai family? -

Thai Woman Missing In Switzerland Found: Embassy
sabaiguy replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Semi OT, Back in the early 70's when I was a wee lad, I went on my first "road trip" from the west coast to the Midwest where I met up with a couple of buddies. We continued to the east coast and back. Was gone for about 2 months, didn't even think about calling my parents. When I returned I called them (wasn't living at home at the time). They were furious that I hadn't called them. Told them I thought "No news was good news". They told that story over the years till they passed away.
