Wrong.  I recently transfered about 900000 using SWIFT and despite a phone call from the bank to semi negotiate an acceptable exchange rate, it was still almost half a Baht less than I would have got using Wise. Pounds Sterling was the currency.

 

I only used SWIFT because I wanted an FET to go towards a condo purchase. In hindsight I would have been better off paying for the additional FET document locally.

 

Wise is the way to go

Did you do the maths for USD. I did.

Learn to do cardless withdrawal and problem is solved. I never use a card anymore at TTB, K-Bank, SCB or BBL. All have cardless functions at ATM.

Without a work permit it will be difficult to open an SCB account. OP can try once the work permit is available. but there are better options.

I had BBL app on two phones for my account, not a joint account, and recently was required to select a single phone number to use for access. This the same as my other bank have been for a long time. 

I completed the tax return in early January and just got the refund letter in the last week of April.

The OP must find the TabienBaan that he was registered in at birth. The District office can find the records from that. This took a lot of time and work for my son years ago.

Continue to be amaze

I would earn a significant income in my village, but would need to move out of the village since they all know me.

Exactly... how does one determine somebody is a vlogger as opposed to simply a tourist recording their trip. The street entertainers were surrounded on Walking St. 

Easy, if monetized they are earning income. 

That service only applies if your US bank has and international ACH code, most do not. Years ago regular domestic ACH worked but that is no loner an option.

 

 

 

 

 

Non Thai can not be added to a House registration book (Blue book) but can obtain a House registration (Yellow Book) based on a Thai Bluebook. The Yellow House registration book is what is need for PR application,

I must live in a different Thailand then........I shipped a 40' container filled to the brim with an entire household content, didn't pay a penny, nothing, nada, nichts. of course.......YMMV

But not in compliance with Thailand Customs rules for retirees unless returning Thai National.The key word in the rule are Resident, not those on temporary visas.. Some have accomplished import without duty tax but he are just lucky. 

 

Nothing.

Call hotel and ask they to email a tax receipt.

Immigration no longer issues TM6 and not required for extension as far as I know.

Yes, but at least they admit you & save your life ... here, maybe not.  They wanted payment in advance at the Govt hosp last month or so, or no admittance.

Must depend on hospital because last month I was admitted to a government hospital on emergency and stayed one night without paying in advance. However, they would not release me until payment in full.

A Non-B visa is the type of visa for employment in Thailand. There is no Employment visa. You have the correct visa to apply for a work permit.

Any bank can do what you want.  If you have a good relationship wire transfers are free.  It's no big deal.

Like to hear more about free Swift as u state.

The dates mean little, just put expected dates and forget it.

underage travelling is free service by all airlines. They are taken by carer from departure, through transfer to exit at destination. Most probably through fast lane, to save time for those carers. 

The child must be between the ages of 5 and 15 years (up to but not including the 16th birthday). Grandson was 16.
