  1. @RubbaJohnny RE: Delivery of (UK) Wise debit card to Thai address. I received a communication from Wise last week (4th March) stating that I could have my replacement debit card sent to my Thai address. I have since ordered a replacement card and the app is now showing an estimated delivery towards the end of this month (think it showed 25th March). Fingers crossed it actually arrives!
  2. Well done Mouserless and thanks to mrbojangles for running this comp
  3. I'm in, I'll be happy with a top 20 finish Good Luck All
  4. Sorry about the late reply, I’ve had a few things going on and only just logged in. I am up for it again this season. Sad news about Wilai, being a newbie to the competition last year I didn’t know him, but I appreciated the work he done in running the comp. (I have kept score for a football comp. on another forum and it took up more time than I thought it would!) Good Luck All
  5. As with the above posts, thanks for running this Wilai. I am happy with a 5th placed finish for my first attempt, looking for a top 3 finish next season
  6. Just to update: he looked at options posted on here and has decided to use the agent on Soi Post office (B14000) and as no visit to immigration is required he can concentrate on resting and getting back to good health. We will drop off any required documents at the agent next week and fingers crossed it all goes smoothly. Thanks again all
  7. This was good to hear, thanks for that Buffy Frobisher He topped up his bank account yesterday so we will call into Jomtien IO this week and if this does not resolve his problem then we will use an agent (I would welcome any private messages with agent contact details, thank you). Thanks for all the input
  8. Thanks BritTim, I think you could be correct in your thinking that trying to obtain a Covid extension could lead to problems further down the line and going straight for the 1 year retirement extension looks the best option to keep things straightforward for him (as well as recent illness, his memory is not great!). I know nothing about agents so your figure of B14,000 at least give me an idea of what to expect. Someone has suggested I should explain the circumstances to immigration and they might “assist” in obtaining the extension.
  9. As far a I know, he has had a savings account for years with a balance of over B800,000 which was very rarely withdrawn from until just recently and another for everyday living that has not had regular monthly deposits (I think topped up a couple of times a year). I have a couple of options to look into and in the meantime I will try to locate an agent in Pattaya to obtain a price. Thanks all
  10. Thanks for this info. I know nothing about this option so will look into it.
  11. Thanks for the reply DrJack54, I will look into that option. but I suppose that would possibly still require the services of an agent?, due to his extensions being based on a NON O visa (although maybe cheaper for him than obtaining a retirement extension via an agent)
  12. The extension is based on an “O” visa and expires this month (Feb.) This regards a French passport holder, living in Pattaya, who renews his extension of stay at Jomtien (he is not married to a Thai so has to stick with the retirement option) This person is not very mobile due to illness and was not even aware his extension was due for renewal earlier than usual due to renewing his passport towards the end of last year (usually renews extension around June/July each year) Unfortunately due to many hospital visits over the last few months he has had do withdraw money from his bank account, putting his balance below B800,000 and although he is hoping to have his balance above the required B800,000 by the end of today he will not meet the requirement of having the money in the account 2 months prior to application, so, would I be correct in informing him that his only option would be to use an agent to obtain his extension (and also change stamps from old to new passport)? And if so, what would he expect to pay for this service? B15,000 – 20,000? or higher? ***I initially told him to wait and see what happens with covid extensions (at end of Jan.) as he could have possibly avoided using an agent by changing to a covid ext. then back to retirement when his cash had been in the bank for >2months, but it appears that the new rules for the covid extensions would mean this option no longer stands*** I hope the info. above is enough for someone to confirm I am pointing him in the right direction or maybe there are other options. Cheers Clarty Boots
