  1. I have a new passport and I still have to transfer the visa stamps. I did my 90 day report before the transfer. I had the two passport with me but I wasn't asked to show the old one. Planning on doing the transfer within a few weeks, just before the permission to stay expires (July).
  2. It is actually the thing that matters the most, getting a stamp from an office of a city you are not living in.
  3. I agree with the OP. These people covering their full body on tattoos should be put in an asylum. It is also a form of violence against those who do not like it. I personally feel disgusted when I see one of them, and most of the time they are westerners.
  4. If this is true, why hasn't Biden released the files to definitely eliminate Trump?
  5. The bank book only needs to be updated on the same day, as far as I know. Letter and 12 month statement can be from the day before.
  6. I had a very similar experience somewhere up North. I had to go through an agency (tea money) to be able to get an appointment at the Amphur and get married. No other choice. Unless you're willing to travel around in other provinces looking for an available spot at another amphur (no guaranteed success). Good luck.
  7. No news here. The first thing I noticed when I came to Thailand is that it's full of prison leftovers from the West.
  8. Big city in Thailand. I prepared all the required documents by myself (embassy, translations, legalizations). When I finally went to the Amphur (muang) to get an appointment I was clearly told that I could not get it within the 3 months without the "help" of an agency because there's no free slot available. Paid near 10k to the agency. No other option unless willing to travel around visiting amphurs in other regions. Called a few smaller amphur in the area but they were all "full" and not willing to help. The agency gave me a free slot after just a few days. They were nice and helpful.
  9. I had to pay tea money to be able to get an appointment at the Amphur within the 3 month validity of my papers. No other options unless I wanted to travel around looking for an available slot. Both my witnesses were Thai (friends).
  10. Last week I went to the Amphur (in the big city up north) with all the required papers to try and book an appointment to get married with my Thai gf. Everything was in order and accepted, but after about 30 minutes talking with my fiancée, the staff said the next available slot is in May! By then, our documents will have expired (they're valid for 3 months), so I'd have to go back to Bangkok to get new ones and start all over again. However, the employee suggested calling this agency (phone number provided), they can apparently arrange an appointment for us within the current 3-month validity period. Has anyone dealt with this? Is using an agency like this recommended, or should I try a different Amphur instead? Thanks for any advice!

  12. Nothing to do there but eating oranges.
  13. That means you have never changed your passport in 20 years? Because new passport means new book. I went to the bank few days ago to let them know I have a new passport and they gave me a new book. With a mountain of paper to sign.
  14. How much % do they currently pay on interest? What's an FTD account? Thanks.
