I have accounts at both SCB and Bangkok Bank, annually earn less than 20k baht on each account, and they withhold the 15% of interest paid every time interest is paid.  That's the way it's been for years.

Nope.

If u provide them (Banks) with your Thai TIN , there is no tax deducted for THB 20,000/- each year

Thats the way its been for years.

You will have to visit Thailand. Online account opening facility is only for Thais with an ID card

The marriage certificates are meant to be valid for as long as the two of you remain married, not only until the expiration date of your current passport.

Correct.

I believe Kor ror 3 (The flowery one ) cannot be issued again under any circumstances.

However, kor ror 2 can be amended with the right passport number

Nothing new, alas.

 

My application was submitted (paid the 5,000 baht fee) in October 2021.  I had my NIA interview in March 2022 and my file was sent to MOI in July 2022.  Since then nothing.  I am prepared for the long-haul.  As I have PR already it doesn't make a lot of difference to me at this point in time so I'll just wait.  One day I expect to receive notification out of the blue, just as with PR.

You have to keep your WP alive , thats more important.

PR/Non PR hardly makes difference in regards to time frame.

Good Luck.

@Arun Mai  Any update on your application ?

Sure. It was a bit anti-climactic TBH, lol.

 

Went into the SB office, signed two documents, had to bring 6 2x2.5 inch photos with blue background, 1 signed copy of my passport, visa, WP and house reg book. I then went into the small Supervisor's office in the back, they gave me a small Buddha offering tray, had me recite my oath, took a couple of photos for their records and sent me on my way. Took all of 5 min 😂

Thanks.

I was never asked for WP after NIA interview.  Did they request or you offered a copy yourself?

Enough of this depressing news.  Let me provide some surprisingly good news.

 

After more than 1 year HRM has approved 62 applications that have been sitting at the Palace.  Almost all were Chinese, but there were also a few Indians and roughly 7 Westerners.

 

I was sworn in on Monday so now just need to wait for the RG announcement, but as it's under a new government, SB could not give me an estimate on when it will be published.

 

So close now........  🙂

Good news indeed.

Thanks for the update

Could you explain in detail about your oath ceremony? Just curious to know if any changes from the past !
