He gained 2 citizenships in other countries, bought property and worked...

For when the farang finally can have the right to live here without all the yearly begging from corrupt immigration 

Anybody bought ?

Let's hope move forward change this ridiculous law that is perfect for thais never have to improve in anything and cannot take criticism even for bad service

Together with that other law which gives you 15 years

I was (legal) landlord for a house that was co-owned by my minor  son and ex-wife.

I got 2 months deposit and first months rent.

The tenant had a business that went under and they could not pay the rent and moved out, paid rent till end of the month.

They gave up their 2 months deposit as stipulated in the contract as a consequence of breaking a 12 month lease early.

I did pay for furniture that the renter demanded out of pocket.

My ex-wife managed to rott the brain of my child, while the child was years in my custody (shared) and wanted to go live full time with the mother.

My ex-wife now demands the remaining deposit, that was paid to me as the landlord, minus furniture costs and want to rent out the house herself without my involvement claming she is the owner with our son.

The deposit is considered income ? Or an unexpected windfall not up for split ?

Am I forced to just give her the remaining of the deposit or can I keep half for my son as I am still a legal guardian of my child, knowing that ex will spend on herself and not the child ?

Threatening with police, court and off course my visa extension.

Any advice ?

Thank you for the info

This is for an iron door (mine) so nothing else can be fitted

These seem extreme expensive

Is there a store that just sell standard cylinders? Also seem impossible to find for those door locks that are not the standard round nobs...

Hi, does anybody know where I can buy this? Not available in homepro

4 cm diameter

why immigration does not allow foreign bank with 800k equivalent ?  my mother could not open a bank account... if she gets a long stay  xo visa in her home country, at 80, she has to have insurance from a thai company, quoted 193.000 - 253.000 BAHT a year... which sadly is... half of her YEARLY pension

an agent that seems super lazy to not reply messages even written in Thai for requests of information.  

Why do people not put their for rent condo in facebook market for free.

Farang cannot buy houses, condos yes, but why do people give a month away to an agent ? Or 3% for the sale of a house ?

Greedy agents is what makes the property market more and more expensive.

Does anybody here have The wisdom credit card ?

Does it provide any value then to wait less in queue or a parking space in shopping malls ?

Fyi

Siam legal

5000 baht plus vat

15.000 baht to open a bank account ?

I thought the going rate was 5k max

For opening a bank account that should be free except bank fee for card

Let's make it impossible by bank demanding retirement Visa first

While immigration wants to see a thai bank account with 800.000 baht on it

And then you have magical people that want 15.000 baht to make this catch 22 disappear , well only for opening a free bank account

This country is corrupt to the bone

How much is the rate for no money in the bank visa ?

Thought that was 25k max

I have the money in home country but trying to even open a bank account the legal way is made impossible

 I was not born yesterday ...

Fed up being rejected by every bank over wanting a year visa before opening a bank account as immigration wants to see 800k when you apply

Any recommendations welcome

Live near suvi airport

But can go to city if needed

My mother is retired and visiting the first time in 3 years due to.. you know... 

now exploring the possibility of maybe getting a retirement visa to be able to stay longer...

visa on arrival, extended

out in for new 45 days, extended

immigration for sure will complain and demand a correct visa

so exploring options and is the first thing to do, not to get a bank account ?  

to season the 800k to be sent from abroad ?

No banks and we visited a lot want to open on a tourist visa.

We try to explain that to start the retirement visa at immigration,   converting an tourist on arrival (tm86?)  would need a bank account ?

Or you do not to prove anything of $$$ for asking for a non-o 90 day conversion , which in the last month you go apply for an extension and needing the 800k seasoned?

Am I missing something ?

Any bank and location that does not have all these ....

Should a bank not inform customers about such a sneaky move

Apparently it was up to 5 million in 2020

Never got any email or real mail and online history only goes back 6 months

Good I found out now then even later

Bank shopping today as those sneaky bastards can shove it

It is the time of the year to collect interest from the banks.

I was surprised to get only half from SCB from the other banks.

When I enrolled, I got 1.5 percent gross to up to 2 million baht.

Never got any email from them about this sneaky trick

or is it Alzheimers ?

KKP gives 1.6% up to 2 million

SCB EZ passbook was supposed to give the same ...

or no Alzheimers

way back machine

they silently changed 2 million into 1... sneaky bastards

any other victims of this ... fraud ?

Thanks I will try that

my 80 year old mother came here half september

she got 30 days on arrival

we went a few days before expire date to local immigration for a 30 day extension

I prepared a TM30 and everything

got blasted there the 1st time.... The Tm30 I did as house master of the place I rent, online, never a problem for my own tm30

I registered using the blue book copy, but my passport

NOPE... they wanted the owner copy of id card or no extension...

Gladly the owner lines me the copy... just forwarding or mailing to an immigration email address was not possible, had to go find a shop to print it out...

You know, being in the stone age and everything...

So that was stressful enough...

We did change return ticket after 'successful' extention...

Did not see my mom for 3 years due to covid ...

So I thought, ok... let's do a border run to Kuala Lumpur... cheapest, no stuff like buying visa as in Cambodia..

She did it alone...as... I am not vaxxed... trip went fine to KL...

On the way back, same day, 10 PM, long day for her,  THAI IMMIGRATION at the airport...

They brought her to some other lane for old people, or is it the SCAM LINE ?

They Tell her.... trip to KL was not needed,   YOU HAVE TO GO BACK TO YOUR OWN COUNTRY...

and you can come back, THE NEXT DAY (to/from Europe... 11 hours flight, 2.000 euros or more...)

She has a flight out next week... but we planned to change that after a successful border run, not before...

So they roasted her why she was here, where she stayed

PS: my mom comes from a non-ENGLISH speaking country...  this is her 3rd language same as me

Apparently, the 70+ year old man before her, and some other people also did the same RUN in the morning, same flight out and in...

She saw the man before her plead to immigration and hand over cash money hush hush and then he was soooooo thankful to those nice people at immigration...

I was waiting at the airport, phone was on... none tried to call me...

Well my mom does not have a Thai sim card, she uses WIFI at my place... and free wifi from airport simple does not work...

Immigration pretended to call me on their phone, nobody at all called.

My mom pleaded if they could get me to come explain the situation, but that was not allowed...

After 20 minutes of checking this and that, supervisor, she surprisingly got the needed stamp...

She was surprised to get it and why all this <deleted> ?

Does Thailand not need or want tourists to spend money to make it almost impossible give a stamp after leaving the country and entering legally ?

My mom did not give money or was not asked money... maybe she did not know how THAILAND works... that you need to grease the wheels for getting a 45 day stamp what she deserves, no ?

This was again a very bad experience with those nice Thai people with a bit of power...

Or am I wrong ?

Does leaving the country, just for the stamp out  and later the stamp in,  first border run in her life, by air, to be able to spend a bit more time with the family a bad thing ?

Thank you for the information

Yes also jaw pain

Thanks for info

my Thai child is covid positive via atk... how and where to get those free anti viral pills ?

or are they available in pharmacy?
