Sure. But Very expensive to service and non availability of spare parts.

Toyota Corolla Cross HEV Premium Safety ( Top end ) THB 1.2 Mill Toyota has the highest resale of them all (if it matters to you) https://www.toyota.co.th/en/model/corollacross/specification

Whats your max budget?

Females dont need to change/reserve name. Reason - They are adopting their Husbands Thai nationality, its not Naturalization as we know. For this very reason they(females) are not provided a Certificate of Naturalization, only a letter stating that they have been allowed to convert their nationality into Thai + Certified RG copies. Only foreign men Naturalize as Thai citizen as per the Thai law. Having no naturalization certificate may prove to be a problem later in life, but thats how it is.

Does your Work Permit contain address?

I am now sure that they (MOI) are 100 % Blatant Liars. My friend has been told that he will be called for MOI interview around Feb 2024, he applied in March 2022. File received by MOI - Oct 2022. They told your friend from 2019 batch the same thing and the same thing to @onthemoon Wow

I said that in a light mood humor. The fee for Thai citizenship is 5100/- thb currently, nothing extra apart from that.

@onthemoon is waiting from April 2020, 3yrs + wait She has just applied this year, at this rate you can imagine when she may be called for an MOI interview !

This quick pace ends as soon as your file reaches MOI. Currently 2020 candidate are being called so almost a 3 yrs wait to get an interview with MOI

This is absolutely correct, I was told the same thing by a trusted source inside MOI

As I remember from your earlier posts your wife had cancer, thats why she was exempted. No exemption for divorcees

No difference in processing times. If you apply on the basis of married to a Thai, your wife must be with you during the MOI interview. If not, consider it cancelled

Those do not cover the battery pack. You may want to read the fine print again. If you damage the battery in an unfortunate accident or it catches fire etc, the cheaper insurance does NOT cover it. New battery pack costs approx 1.33 Mill THB, which will have to be paid in cash.

Apparently you are on overstay, since the day she withdrew all the money , your retirement extension is effectively cancelled.

If the account is 0 for more than a year, its closed automatically. You need to open a new one , requirements here - Document required for Foreigners - Passport Visa (non-immigrant VISA) or identification documents issued by the government of the country of the nationality such as national ID card, driver’s license, House Registration, etc. Documents per the objectives of entering Thailand : - Work in Thailand : Documents showing permission to work in Thailand, such as Work Permit - Retirement in Thailand : Proof of address in Thailand such as house / condominium rent contract, water / electricity bill, etc. - Study in Thailand : Certification letter issued by school or educational institution. https://www.kasikornbank.com/en/personal/account/pages/savings.aspx

Yes. The owner of the house has to personally visit the district office with you and vouch for you. Sometimes a witness is also required. You will need a certified copy of your passport (your embassy) + Thai translation + certification from the Thai MFA

Absolutely wrong

You can DIY on the Section 38 application, pretty easy. Screen shot of the app is accepted as proof by the Immi Officer

Thanks for the update!

Its mandatory to be in a Bangkok Tabien Baan otherwise the Special Branch Police will simply not take your application. If married to a Thai you are not required to sing. You cannot choose your points or requirements, Minimum 50 points are required to qualify. Speaking Thai gives you 8 points

As arkady said, it will be risky. However, if you really cant keep your job or get fired etc, you may want to start your own small business and get a WP. If you see the nationality act, it clearly mentions that the candidate must have an occupation. That being said, nothing is written in stone but on this forum all of us will agree that you must maintain WP thru out the processing period Hope this helps

If not married to a Thai, you have to sing Thai National Anthem, Royal Anthem from memory, in a clear precise tone. It may not be everyone's cup of tea. There are reports that one individual was not able to sing in a clear tone, he did not pass that day and was told to be there in the next MOI interview.

No. You can get a WP at any age.

The tests are quite tough , if you are not married to a Thai national

Nope. MG 4 and ZS Ev have an excellent set of air conditioners. Both under 1 mill thb
