Have a number of friends who use Maneerat for their retirement extensions, some have money in the bank some not, some are married but wish to remain on retirement, Maneerat takes some to immigration for an on-sight photo, but not all.

don't know where you got that idea from, if you are in Khon Kaen I'm further away than you.

and they'll play a sad song on a violin for him

give her your old one and buy the new one for yourself, don't let her inside until the "new smell" has abated.

Make sure which ever one you decide to use aligns with your TM7 submission when you do your annual extension.

The Bangkok Bank ATM's around me are all the same, they limit you 25 notes per withdrawal (and 2 transactions per day or maybe it's only me never tried to change it). It's a bind when the machine says no 1,000B notes available and you want more than 25K.

Since I started using the latest on-line system, the longest delay in 5 reports has been 1 day between submission and approval, the last 2 reports have been approved same day.

would he say anything else, he wants your money

forgot I also need to keep a minimum balance in my UK account of 2,500 GBP (100,000 BHT).

read the article, it says

If that's the account you select then you will get 0% return. Have mine in a standard savings account, while 0.5% (4,000 THB) is not good, it's way better than my UK account which is ZERO%

1. Of course they know how to use them for checking their zits while waiting for the lights to change, can't do that while travelling. 2. The shorter distance between 2 points, why should use fuel to travel away from where I want to go, and anyway it's the same road on both sides. 3. Not only limited to motorcyclists and this sign means low flying motorcycles ahead, doesn't it.

It's almost as hard as trying to get some of "their" money, that they are keeping in your account for you.

The OP said when "applying for extension"

Could be just excessive zeal in applying "money laundering rules", which I think will become more prevalent and intrusive. Also 3 weeks back I tried and failed to deposit money into each of my children's accounts, had my passport with me, but couldn't as I didn't have them with me.

I know that Thailand is obsessed with uniforms, but .........

Local Immigration office Or if you are in the House Book (Yellow Book) a copy of the relevant pages will do (at least it has for me - think I'm on my fourth license..

If I remember correctly, not sure seen here or the paper we can't mention, that Pucket has said that only extensions of stay and 90 day reports are being done there, for anything else go the Pattaya office.

Only sea transport he could find as all inflatable boats are fully occupied in the English Channel

as you are writing about 800,000 and 790,000 assume this is for retirement extension retirement does not have zero balance. the requirement is 800,000 for 2 months before application and 3 months after approval, the remaining part of the year the balance can be reduced to 400,000 not lower.

About 12 years ago, I was talking with a local traffic police officer (ex-University Graduate in English), and the conversation got to passports, he indicated to me that only Immigration Officers can demand your passport, a local officer would probably not even have seen one before. See my post a couple of minutes ago re being stopped in the street.

While walking from where I'd parked my car to the shops in the local town (app. 9 km from house) I was accosted, by three uniformed and armed Immigration officers (I recognized the senior officer, from seeing him in the office), with a demand to see my Passport. I was not carrying it only had a copy of relevant pages - was informed that under Immigration Law I am required to carry it at all times, as they are unable to validate copies, I said that I was confused, as I understood the head of the RTP had said recently that foreigners were not required to. He then demanded to know where I lived, told him and proffered both Pink Card and Thai Driving License as proof of address, response was "they mean nothing to us" and waved them away. With the statement "you're required to carry your passport at all times" he handed back the copies and stalked away. Assume he failed to find any foreigners in hotel without TM30, so decided to pick on me, wrong place at wrong time. For a short period after I did carry my passport, but now have reverted to just copies of relevant pages - full size copies not credit card size as before.

using all upper case letters vs lower case letters should not cause a problem using Surname vs Sumame will probably cause the transfer to be blocked and possibly the senders account as it may be a fraudulent transaction which could indicate that the account has been hacked.

municipal officials? they look like police to me

waste of time can change over a weekend as can the staff.
