Lorry

Same experience as me. And as another poster mentioned, I ended up with 2 90day-slips with 2 different dates for the next 90day report. Got the email-reminder, applied accordingly, and got rejected. Just applied again yesterday, waiting. A bit pointless, indeed.

Yes, I suppose so, too.

BTW immigration hotline says, you must withdraw from the old bank and deposit at the new bank on the same day. Not that I would trust them too much...

I did this. I got the reminder email for the next 90d notification a couple of days ago. Due date was given as in the online receipt. I applied online 14 days before this due date. Got rejected after 5 days. Reason: "you can apply within 15 days before the due date". So maybe they follow the mail receipt. This is really a PITA.

I finally made it to my Bangkok Bank Branch. It took 8 minutes to have the check deposited into my account. No waiting for check clearance. No passport required. As simple as making a cash deposit.

At 7/11?

They understand and will tell you it won't work. Not with the banking apps

The document requires 10m for the investment visa. Not just 3m which would be very little. Buying a condo doesn't count, government bonds count, as do Thai stocks.

All, and I really mean all, Thais I know talk about this to me. They don't talk much. But people I never thought are interested in politics feel strongly enough to spontaneously tell me their feelings. Just out of the blue come sentences like "It's very sad. There was an election and now it's like there was no election." "This is not democratic. This couldn't happen in another country. " And before the vote: "Maybe next time, when you arrive in Thailand, there will be the New Thailand" Asian sentiments.

They have been named. Yesterday's vote was public, transmitted live over the internet. Every senator or member of parliament was called by name, and then said loud and clearly "in favor", "not in favor" or "i abstain".

No, the bank issues paper documentation routinely to every customer who asks for it (people need it if they want to reclaim the withholding tax). It is the form that friendlyfarang provided, but they routinely issue the Thai version. Now that I know that there is an English version of this form, I will ask my bank for the English version.

Thank you! This makes a lot of sense. This is the form the bank gave me in Thai. So there exists an English version of this form. I will ask the bank to fill it out for me.

Not obvious at all. UOB Thailand does provide things like this in English. You don't have to tell me they are not a typical Thai bank but belong to a bank from Singapore, I know this.

A lot of the documentation of Thai banks is bilingual. Some forms are in English. Some documentation is purely in English, e.g. the short codes in the bank book like "INT" for interest. So my question is not unreasonable.

Talking about the tax withheld by the bank. (I know under which circumstances I can get it refunded but that's not the plan) The revenue office gave me an English statement of my paid taxes, but it didn't include the tax withheld by the bank. When I asked why (after all, it's tax I paid) they said they don't have anything to do with that, it's the business of the bank.

Sukhumvit Hospital is not bad. They have some good doctors working there, Dr Prin for eyes is kind of famous, Dr Umaporn (urologist) works here as well as at Bumrungrad and Bangkok Hospital, Dr Chaiyasit (orthopedics) is a very experienced clinician. Their young doctors are often very competent, too. The physical therapy department is a bit unusual, but does have good points. The hospital tends to be quite expensive, though. The nearest cheaper place is Camillian Hospital. It's good, but has definitely less specialists than Sukhumvit Hospital. And Sukhumvit Hospital is more accessible. My experiences with St Louis Hospital are a mixed bag. But it's still the place I recommend most.

Getting the yellow book was not easy, it's a long story. But doable. What I did today was register the yellow book at the same Khet to get tax exemption. Actually, the reason why I went through all the hassles to get the yellow book was the tax exemption. Once I had it, I thought my condo is now exempt from the property tax. How was I supposed to know that I still had to register the yellow book (= house registration book) at the same Khet, but another floor?

I went there today. House registration was issued on the first floor. Registration of the house registration to be exempt from property tax had to be done on the second floor. Took 20 minutes.

What do you mean by this?

I just called my Khet. It's exactly the same. I have to go to the tax department in the Khet to register my house registration, which was issued by the same Khet, but another department.

I need the proof of paid withholding tax to prove it to my home country. BTW you can claim a refund up to 3 years later. But this is not what my question is about.

How to get an English document showing that I paid withholding tax on the interest of my Thai bank account? The bank gave me a statement showing interest and withholding tax, only in Thai. The revenue office said it's none of their business. ???

Thanks a lot. I will call them first, but I suspected already it's the way you describe. 2 departments in the same district office, not coordinating.

Did you ever take the yellow book to the district office (not land office) to get exempted from the property tax?
