Why do you make up things? That's not what Thai immigration law says. That is the case. IOs are what the law refers to as "competent officers" and they do have the discretion to make the decision as to who gets stamped in.

No big deal as long as they open the account, B19,900 could be withdrawn immediately at the ATM when leaving the bank!

Bank employees are tasked with selling the bank's products, to do so is not corruption!

A will for your UK bank assets can be self-written, properly witnessed and sent to someone, (eg., bank, solicitor, executor, family) for safekeeping. You do not have to in the UK to do that. Will templates are available for download online or the will can be written on plain paper.

"How to get around this as I won't be returning?" Has he paid you for the car, already? If he has, it is the buyer who needs to get around this, not you.

Just as Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei, Sony, One plus, etc. are.

Yes, there is, the OP asked about Samsung phones.

You stated that his yacht was targeted for seizure. To be seized he/his assets have to be sanctioned, and therefore you implied that he has been sanctioned. He has not been sanctioned, so far. That article does not state that "the following yachts have been sanctioned" and, therefore targeted, it is just a list of examples of Russian-owned boats.

Yes, continue. Was it a "wide load", did it need "Wide Load" signs, why would it need red flags? How do you know that it wasn't being escorted and what traffic control do you know was necessary?

No, I don't think so, it had crash landed and was now cut into two pieces for transporting, don't think there is any plan to repair it.

There's not much choice of where to stop if your car has just burst into flames and, presumably, stopped operating.

Well guess the owner may hope so, but perhaps the owner is really a finance company Even if it is financed the "owner" has to insure it, the finance company doesn't!

The UK has sanctioned a number of Russians but not this one, that's why it has not been seized...it has not been sanctioned, neither has the owner.

The boat is not owned by Putin, the owner has not been accused of war crimes, neither has he or the boat been sanctioned. Refusing it entry would be evidence of absolute partisanship, not neutrality.

He has not been sanctioned and his yacht has not been listed as to be seized. The article that you linked just shows a photo of the boat as one of a few owned by wealthy Russians, it does not state that he is sanctioned, that the boat is sanctioned or that it, specifically, should be seized.

What are you talking about, you think that every Russian should be arrested? Has this one been sanctioned?

Why? He hasn't been sanctioned.

I have proof, it's called probate. Thailand has probate laws, look them up. Nothing to do with fear mongering. If anything I have said is wrong, point it out, specifically.

The "permission" ceases on your death. If the funds are accessed after your death from a sole account without informing the bank of your death, that is the illegal part. It is called theft.

I'm pointing out what the law is here regarding the procedures following the death of a foreigner, nothing that I posted was inaccurate. If someone takes funds from the account of a deceased person after his death without informing the bank of the death, it is theft/fraud, it does not matter what the account holder "wanted". Even if those wishes were in a will, probate is supposed to be granted before any assets are distributed. If you disagree with the legitimacy of what I have said, you're welcome to state, specifically, where I am wrong. I'm not talking about the way some people may want to do things, I'm referring to the way they should be done to stay within the law. I'm not even sure if the direction this thread has gone, i.e. how to illegally access the assets of deceased people is allowed on this forum.

That maybe so but on a practical level how would that ever be known if the death of the foreign bank account holder was never reported to the bank ? His death would be reported and it would be obvious that he must have had a bank account, normal enquiries would be made and the bank informed so that his assets could be frozen pending probate. That's how. If it was discovered that transactions had occurred after his death, theft and fraud charges could be made.

The hospital where the deceased either dies or is taken after death informs the police (Immigration is a police department so nothing needs to be done in that regard. What would it matter anyway?). The police inform the Embassy, the Embassy takes it from there contacting family.

A living will relates to medical treatment when you are unable to make that type of decision!

Big issues to who? To whoever takes the funds illegally after his death.
