Phuket Increases Scrutiny on Foreigners Amid Crime Wave
Joe32 replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Many foreigners are tourist guides? What do they define as a tourist guide? If you have family or friends over, and show them around, will you get in trouble already? -
Solutions Sought for Dealing with Unruly Tourists in Mae Hong Son
Joe32 replied to webfact's topic in Chiang Mai News
You don't hang out in traffic here too much, do you? From what I see, the majority who's being pulled over by the police is still mostly Thai. Instead of your whataboutism, how about just wearing a helmet so there's no reason to be pulled over. -

Imagine getting angry in this situation that you can't go to the bar in the middle of the week on a Wednesday 😂 -
Foreigner Sparks Outrage for Doing Thai-Only Job in Phuket

Why a 3 year prohibition if they may not hire foreign workers any time? -
Foreign Tourist Sparks Outrage by Urinating in Phuket Airport

A new day, a new foreigner misbehaving. Every morning I get at least one or 2 news updates about foreigners misbehaving. Can't they just let normal people in? -

Online 90 day check during weekends
Joe32 replied to Joe32's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
In Nonthaburi. It's usually pretty fast compared to what I've seen from others. -
Online 90 day check during weekends
Joe32 replied to Joe32's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
As immigration offices are closed for walk ins, the point was whether this also will be the case for online applications. As I haven't experienced this yet, because I'm always on time, I didn't know. Couldn't really find any information on this anywhere. -
Online 90 day check during weekends

Same for me usually, Only this time a bit worried as the deadline falls in the weekend. -
Online 90 day check during weekends
Joe32 replied to Joe32's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
On the 8th. A bit late as this time I forgot about it by accident. But as I checked the history, it has always been approved within 2 days max. -
Online 90 day check during weekends
Joe32 replied to Joe32's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
What was the reason it got rejected, if you're ok to share? I had one time, I made a typo in my passport number and it seemed to be rejected almost instantly. Not sure if it's partly automated. -
As the title says, my question is, are online 90 day checks approved during weekends? I know immigration is closed during the weekends, but will the online requests still be handled? My deadline is on the 12th, that's this Sunday, and as of now, my status is still pending somehow. It usually takes 2 days for me, never longer, but this time, right when it might become a problem if they wait longer, they actually did wait longer...

K bank E-mail with Tax Forms attached ?
Joe32 replied to offset's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
You might assume there's at least someone in the bank who knows every detail of this. But that person doesn't provide any details about it and leaves everyone in the dark. The other day I saw some Q/A about this case, and all I got from it were very good Q's, but all the A's came down to: Just fill it in. Without any other information provided. If there's one thing I've learned in Thailand after 10 years it's: Do I really have to do it? Yes. Is it necessary? No. Should I do it? Up to you. Will it bring me trouble? Not really, maybe yes, maybe no. -

Joe32 replied to offset's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I think this is the reason you didn't receive a request to fill it in. Maybe it's just a case of whether your bank had a connection with an overseas bank or not? I need to do a good check whether I had or not. As far as I remember I haven't, other than being abroad once. -

You have to remember that this is Thailand, haha. They often assume things, because I'm a foreigner. But, I do remember traveling abroad this year, and getting money from an ATM. Could this have triggered them then? -

Joe32 replied to offset's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Hmm, I think after checking this topic for a while now, they've just sent this to everyone, in case it applies to you. They assume, as a foreigner, we send and receive money from abroad. They expect everyone to fill it in, so they can detect if someone is doing something illegal, but if you haven't filed it in and not doing anything illegally, it won't be a big deal as there's no money transferred across the borders. But later once you want to do this, you might run into some more paperwork, I guess. -

So, this is all purely because of overseas income, right? -

Joe32 replied to offset's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Yes, I do. The only reason is, I'm really not good with tax stuff. So, I don't want to fill in stuff I don't know about. Or share anything that I don't know will be shared without me knowing it. -

Joe32 replied to offset's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
So, they send it to everyone they think it's necessary for. But if you don't have anything connected to any other country, it won't be necessary to fill in? They won't make a big deal out of this? -

The thing is....I don't have anything foreign anymore. Why am I supposed to do this all? Besides my Dutch passport, I own nothing abroad, no address, no bank accounts, nothing.
