I use the Cap1 debit card for counter withdrawals....periodically I withdraw $150K (approx $4700) at the counter and have it directly deposited to my Thai bank account.
When you do this does it show up on your Thai bank account statement as a foreign deposit?
I'm wondering if this method would satisfy non-O visa requirement for monthly deposits.

I’ve had my military retirement going to savings account at Bangkok Bank for several years now. I initiated the direct deposit thru the Defense Finance Accounting Services “My Pay” website All I needed was Bangkok Bank NY address, routing number and account number.
Is your Bangkok Bank account a "Direct Deposit Savings Account"? (i.e. no ATM card, no on-line access)
I'd like to set up a direct deposit from DFAS to my Bk bank account but it's a regular savings account with ATM and internet banking. BkBanks website says it has to be a "direct deposit account" but it also seems to be focused on the SSA.
Just wondering if the same rules apply to direct deposits from DFAS?

The only school in Udon that will qualify you for a education-visa is Rajabaht University.
There are no schools that I'm aware of that teach "Issan".

The stamp transfer has to be done where you applied for your extension (is not a visa). It is the same for the re-entry permit unless you get one at the airport on departure.
Thanks Joe. I should've known, that would be too easy.

Are you required to go to the Immigration Office where your visa was issued to transfer the stamp?
I live up in Udon. Since I will need to go to Bangkok to pick up my new passport, I was thinking of just going to a immigration office in Bangkok to transfer the stamp and get a re-entry permit so I can travel out of the country from there.
Is this possible?

Just a follow-up report on my travel to the US with my 5 yo Thai/American son.
Departed through the "Thai National" immigration line. Filled out a departure card for my son, presented his Thai passport, affidavit signed by my wife, and a copy of his Thai birth certificate.
The officer had to get his supervisor to look at the documents before we were allowed to exit.
Entered the US using his US passport. Departing the US no questions were asked.

I got my answer via PM from Mikeuberman. Thanks mike.
For anyone interested, I got the affidavit from our local amphur. It's a form letter written in Thai. Needed to bring original and copies of housebook, sons birth certificate, sons Thai passport, my US passport, wifes ID card (and the wife). Cost 50 baht.
With all due respect for these matters I would never seek the advice of Thai immigration officials.
Gotta agree with you. I first asked my question at our local immigration office and was given a load of BS (bad suggestions).
Their advise was to exit Thailand on his US passport. Their reasoning was "because if you show both, the Thai passport will be confiscated and cancelled. Cannot have both." They also advised to bring a copy of housebook, birth cert, and marrage licence. (no mention of affidavit from mother).
Thankfully I can get correct information from the members on this forum!

I took my kids from Thailand on there thai passports and was not even an issue and entered Canada on there Canadian passports .
We stayed in Canada for a year then returned to Thailand . We had no issues
Don't knw if this helps u
Thanks for the reply. Were you traveling without their mother?
I just want to make sure I've got all the bases covered. I'd hate to miss my non-refundable flight because of an issue at the immigration clearance.
Having something official from the mother stating she knows I'm taking the child out of the country seems reasonable.
I wonder if I'm going to have any issues with the US immigration traveling alone with my child?

When I left for the US with my dual-nationality 4-year-old daughter last year, I had to provide. an affidavit from my wife, and stamped at our amphur, stating that she approved of OUR daughter leaving the country with me.
The airport immigration officer needed to see it before he would let us through departure.
Hi Mike,
Is the affidavit a form I can obtain somewhere or just a written statement? What other information needs to be on the affidavit?
Could you post or PM me an example (personal info blacked out of course). Did you need to bring any other ID for your daughter (copy of birth certificate or house book)?
I'm planning on going back to the US for a visit next month with my 5yo dual-national son. My wife will not be coming with us on this trip.
Any advise you can give me would be much appreciated!
Also, (maybe a stupid question) when you departed through immigration, there's separate lines for Thai and foreign passport holders. Since you have a US passport and your daughter has a Thai passport which line did you go too?

Today's Report-
No problem at the Immigration office today. Went in at 8:15AM, no waiting, out by 8:40. (Note: This is at the Udon Thani Immigration Office)
I brought everything I could think of based on the posts I've read on the forums. The only things they needed were:
Passport
Copy of all passport pages
TM 7
one passport size photo
Income letter from US embassy (they kept the original)
Map drawing to my house
1,900 Baht.
Also had to sign a statement that I understood the penalty for overstay (or something to that effect).
Thanks for the advise guys! I'm good for another year!

Thanks for the quick responses! I'll post how it went tomorrow.

Well I procrastinated until the day before my non-o retirement extension expires to get my paperwork together and
realized that last year (my first extension) I applied one month before the expiration.
Will they grant a new extension on the day it expires? Or should I be packing a bag to leave tomorrow?

Thanks for the replies!
So it's the Amphur that may want to see the divorce certificate. Guess I got that mixed-up with the MFA.
I just double checked the US embassy web site and no mention of proof of the divorce required. Just need to fill out two sworn affidavits, one stating I'm free to marry
and one stating the x-wife's name, date and county of the divorce (at a cost of $50. each!)
Well then it sounds like I should be able to get everything done short of the visit to the amphur while I'm there. I'm assumming I don't need my bride-to-be with me at the MFA?
So, what I need to do is:
Get the two affidavits from the US embassy.
Get them translated to Thai.
Take them to the MFA and get a letter from them.....(is there a fee for this?)
NEXT
Track down my divorce certificate within the next 3 months.
Go to the amphur...........(and the letter from the MFA should still be valid for up to 3 months?)
Am I missing anything?
Will the MFA give me the letter the same day?
What BST station is close to the MFA?
Thanks for the help!:jap:

Anyone know how long these documents are good for? I need to go to the US Embassy next week and thought I would take care of the first step in the marriage process and get these documents.
My hold up right now is tracking down my divorce certificate (can't remember the date, it was a looong time ago in a place far far away!)
It's my understanding that the US Embassy does not require me to show a divorce certificate, but the Department of Foreign Affairs office will want to see a translated copy of the divorce certificate.

Is there a time limit to file for this? My child is now 10 months old.

You have posted a lot of insurance questions. Why not try Thaivisa for quotes. Pretty safe bet if your worried.
Thanks transam. I have contacted Them, I'm seeking customer input on this post.
I'm not worried, just trying to be an informed consumer.

Thanks for the input Scorecard, good to know. Can you give any details why the company took so long to pay? Were they disputing the claim?

What do you expect from your Insurance Broker?
I've never used an Insurance broker before in the U.S., always just went direct to the Insurance company. I decided to use a broker here for my car insurance since I'm not sure how insurance may differ here in Thailand.I contacted a broker on-line and was sent one policy (AXA class2+1, also called "Smart Drive 5").
Now perhaps this is the only good policy in Thailand that fits my requirements.
The policy looks good, but from a broker I was expecting a few choices.
Am I expecting too much?
-
With a class 2 policy, does the insurance company still send out a representative to the scene of a accident or is that just with the 1st class policy?

I was looking at the application form for the roadside assist package through ThaiVisa Insurance (linked on this fourm). The form asks for the year the vehicle was registered, but does not ask for the year the vehicle was made. Why is that?
I ask because the used vehicle I bought was made in 1996, but the bluebook show it was first registered in 2001!
So would the company see this as a 14 year old vehicle or a 9 year old vehicle?
