Go home and get a 1-year MENO from an embassy there? They're offshore workers after all, so they're filthy rich and can afford the one-time extra airfare.

The THB400,000 required at Savanakhet works out a bit less than that (at the moment).

For me, it was the freedom of NOT having to attend immigration police offices in Thailand, with their tendency to play fast and loose with (or make up) the rules. Getting a visa means a one-time dealing with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (they run the embassies and consulates), and the only immigration jobsworths I have to face are the ones stamping me in/out of Thailand.

The EPL are the English mafia.

My family just learned that Grandpa has Viagra addiction. No one is taking it harder than Grandma.

The merchant pays back to the bank/card issuer, not the customer. And then...?

Thanks for the clarification. How did you receive the original cards? Personally? While in the US? Have they ever been used in the US? I had a debit card that had never seen the outside of my wallet get blocked by my bank when a string of charges popped up from Vietnam. Although I was a frequent visitor there, this card had never seen the light of day anywhere. The first three charges were small, and the bank explained these were 'test' transaction by the fraudsters to verify the validity. They stopped the nonsense on the fourth, much larger transaction. Took a few weeks for the affidavit of use to get to them, but they unlocked the card as soon as I contacted them and verbally verified it wasn't me and all the charges were removed.

If these charges are only happening in the US and your original cards are still in the US while the images of these cards are on someone's phone in the US...

Why? And what do you mean by 'sites like'?

Do you have a problem comprehending the thread title? What part of savannakhet now require bank statement (400k) for 1 year multi visa (non-O marriage or Thai family) is causing you confusion? What? You mean more recently than the OP's 1-hour ago? Their websites never contained a precise and factual list of requirements. If they were, this forum would be dead already.

Indeed Citi in Singapore does still do a remote/online application process for high net worth accounts.

Nuke and pave it from Tai to Klang. That'll sort out the Soi Buakhao traffic issue.

Sounds like someone has never been on the baht bus behind the one doing the "10, 15, 20. 30 seconds" request stop on Soi Buakhao.

So you did your homework, well done you. It's no excuse to call people you don't know with different circumstances an idiot. Only an idiot would do that. My point was that by using the word "simply", you suggest that's all that anyone will need to get a CoR. This based solely on your unique experience. There's no 'one size fits all' when it comes to dealing with bureaucracy here in Thailand, none whatsoever.

While some, especially on internet forums, are judgemental trolls.

This is Thailand. You cannot arbitrarily throw the word "simply" into any conversation based on your own, unique experiences. For example, what if the person seeking the CoR (in UT & NK) has neither a rental agreement nor a yellow book?

Many years ago, beach road and walking street were two-way. Then they made it all one-way, people gurned. Then they made walking street pedestrian-only after dark, people gurned. Good to see that the gurning processes are alive and well on Buakhao.

Triggered...

That's right. You're a nobody. ...gurning.

Personally, I dont wear my Patek Philipe or Richard Mille EVERY day either.

Why don't you tell all of us about your medical conditions first?

Correct. Ignorance and indolence in equal measure.

You'll HATE being denied access to your banking more.

Twice. Now bugger off.

Is neither a Western morality or Thai morality . Some guys take care of their Children and others run away from that responsibility . Both some Thai and Western guys do that . Selfish cowards just want condom free sex and run away the next day when they've achieved their desire Whoa, slow down there Tonto. Our bob has to get it up first.
