I think this is a different situation, some offices require an actual witness in person, I think the OP simply need to have a witness signature on the STM10 (its always had the witness signature there but I guess they only just starting asking for it) - I question if they care about who is the witness for the STM10 form

Which immigration office was this at? Do you normally need to provide the 3 month account history too, previously at CW they only need the statement and updated passbook?

So the text search is horrible on most of the largest platforms You can use picture search (download or screenshot one of the shots) then load into picture search in shopee (mobile app only) Otherwise good shopping search is pretty good approach too. Also tons of products on Amazon are drop shipped or white label out of China - you can do the same approach and copy a pic from an Amazon listing and then find it via picture search in Shopee - this way you use the reviews in Amazon too

I have recently been given a 2 year extension of my work permit (as a director - Non BOI company) For visa I have been doing yearly extensions of stay with the current reason being marriage, I am now considering to swap this to reason being employment (documents seem easier) Does anyone know if I move to doing it based on employment will my extensions now be 2 years in length (to match work permit)? Also for timing, my extension of stay based on marriage is still valid for ~6 months but if I swap to based on employment I would prefer to go change it now, will that be possible or need to wait till closer of the expiry of my current extension of stay? Cheers

You will need the Yellowbook and Pink ID card to register for Section 39 Benefits - contact the SSO head office if you want to confirm details, FYI can still be a bit of a pain once you ahve the above, I went to a second SSO office that was more accomodating in BKK. I would suggest going to the local district office and explain to them your reason for getting it, the required documents can range a lot but not impossible, will probably take a few trips. You have 6 months from the date of finishing your employment to register/start paying for section 39.

Not sure if it has changed but previously visas issued at BOI/Chamchuri Square did not need to report TM30.

You can do it yourself if you have your yellowbook/pink id card - easiest at the office you are registered too, but technically can do at any, they just may ask for some other documents too

You could try the head office at Ploen Chit, I opened an account roughly 6 months ago, I used yellow book and pink id card to do so (did not take a residency letter) - account is in Thai translation of my name per pink id card. I use the account for paying SSO monthly fee as it's the only bank which supports direct debit for this. Note there is no face scanning for foreigners on the app so need to do max transfers of under 50k

You can get it, have done it myself, Main office will confirm but you can't do it through them. As above, need to have your yellow housebook/tabian baan and pink ID card to do it - this was the real difficult part. Some offices are very difficult even in bangkok, I managed to get it through the second one after first one would not do it. Finally trying to setup auto debit for it now as I have to go into bank every month currently, I beleive need to setup a bank account using your new pink ID card and yellow book to get this to work too. I would possibly ask head office if you need to do in Chiang Mai, if not then go somewhere easier

You already pay 700b departure tax now... been the case since 2007 Seems like there is a huge amount of bad communication going on: - They can't possibly enforce this 300b for specific users as it will be airlines collecting it through ticket sales - airlines won't want the complication - Revenue depart now saying departure tax 1000b (I assume this is just an increase from the current 700b) So 700b - Current + 300b - new tax = 1000b departure taxes paid as taxes when you get ticketed

You can do it at Central World on Fridays and Saturdays currently: https://thainews.prd.go.th/en/news/detail/TCATG230428142559018 It opens ar 12:00 entrance is located inside the mall 5th floor next to Central Department Store You can enter the mall when it opens at 10am go up and get a queue number and chill until 11:30 or so when they start to call numbers Overall was done by 12:20 - note not available to tourists but should be fine on long term visas
