PS - You also need to make sure you have sufficient remaining validity on your passport, when you apply, to cover the entire period covered by the reentry permit.

 

 

Your last paragraph doesn't make much sense. A reentry permit is always valid for the same time as your current permission to stay, and your permission to stay can never be longer than the validity of your passport. So the validity of your passport will always be long enough to cover the period the reentry permit will be valid for.

Pfft...Think yourself lucky, they put the pole inside my front fence line.  (On two seperate properties as well)

Yeah, we had a pole a couple of meters inside our fence line as well, and leaning to boot.

Took about a year and three or four visits to the PEA office to get them to move it.

Not yet, there's a law about divorce waiting time so he cant marry her until the waiting time of 310 days after her previous marriage ended.

I believe it's possible to bypass the waiting period by having a doctor confirm that the GF isn't pregnant. 

Having his name on the birth certificate doesn't make him the legal father. He would be, if he was married to the mother, but since he isn't his parenthood has to be legally established. If the child was old enough, that could be done fairly easily by the child confirming that he is his/her father. But since that is not possible, he would need the court to confirm that he is the father (which requires DNA test etc.).

Alternatively, he can wait until he can marry the mother, which  would automatically make him the legal father.

Is he married to the mother?

Yes thank you. But where is diesel UNDER Bht 30 / litre. It went down Bht 2 to 30.37.

And please Mr PM, forget this tax on expats remittances, please.

In Bangkok and surrounding area. The diesel/gasoline price goes up the longer away from Bangkok you get to compensate for the cost of transport.

In the photo, it looks like a red-coloured fizzy, sugary drink.

Or is that classed as medicine?

And of course, someone took a photo.

I'm pretty sure that the green you can see over his right shoulder is the top of a water bottle.

Wasn't the bridge or road closed? There should have been a detour sign and the passage blocked??

Barriers that were normally placed across the bridge entrance were missing due to vandalism, according to the Charlotte Observer.

I would have thought by providing them both, e.g. so they could see that you transferred 800,000 from your account to the fixed account and had a good balance in the everyday one which is accessible is enough.

 

The above said, I will just transfer 800,000 out of my account and put it in a fixed term account for 12 months and earn the interest, immigration can see my other account with the 800,000 in it and use that one for their purposes.

 

It's just stupid in my opinion, because all fixed term accounts are accessible, you just lose the interest if you pull the money out before maturity.

 

You seem confused, now you are talking about a fixed term account, which as you mention is immediately accessible. But in your previous post you were asking about having the funds in an account that is not accessible.

What I was referring to is a fixed term deposit with 800,000 baht in it that is not accessible until the 12 month term has matured, therefore rendering one the say 2% interest less tax upon maturity.

 

The above said, also having an account with another bank for day to day living expenses, accessible everyday of an equal or close enough amount.

 

The term deposit would be to earn the interest whilst the other earns basically nothing because it's not a term deposit, it's an everyday account earning a pittance, whilst you use it for your daily living expenses. 

 

 

If the fixed term account is not immediately accessible, then it won't count at all in Immigration matters. So whether you will be granted the extension will depend entirely on if your "day to day living expenses" account comply with the 800k/400k requirements.

I forgot to say that the OP can deposit his money into a standard 24 month fixed deposit with Krungsri, which pays 1.95% p.a. Of course, that would not be tax free, so 15% tax would be deducted, but the tax could be reclaimed from the Revenue Department (if he has no other significant income).

Many people put there 800k/400k in fixed deposit accounts with no problem.

As long as you have immediate access to the funds.

Yes, but the OP is not talking about a standard fixed deposit account, which would not be tax free. The tax free time deposit account he is talking about is one of the savings deposit type accounts, where you have to deposit the same amount every month for the term of the account.

From Krungsri's website:

Tax-free deposit account for individual account holder

How to apply?

Simply open a 24-month or 36-month tax-free time deposit account with a minimum of THB 500 to a maximum of THB 25,000 (for 24-month tax-free time deposit) or a maximum of THB 16,000 (for 36-month tax-free time deposit). The same amount is to be deposited to the account on a monthly basis for 24 or 36 months (as per the account type). The Bank allows only 2 failures to make the required monthly deposits throughout the deposit period.

Benefit

• Upon 24 months of consecutive deposits, the account holder is entitled to the 24-month time deposit interest, plus a special interest of 0.8%
• Upon 36 months of consecutive deposits, the account holder is entitled to the 36-month time deposit interest, plus a special interest of 0.5%

Account holder can enjoy a lump sum of savings for a better secure future.

So this account cannot be used to deposit the OP's 800k, since the maximum allowed deposit per month is THB 25,000.

What exactly do you mean, when you say?:

and I have a pension confirmation ("certificate") from my government for the monthly amount

Unless that confirmation is issued by your country's embassy in Thailand, it will not be accepted by Immigration.

Maybe I am misunderstanding you, but I get the impression you think the power of a BEV is dependent on the amount of power remaining in the battery.

 

The only time a BEV does not have full power available is when it enters Turtle Mode. Turtle Mode is a feature which is designed to help you when your EV's battery is almost empty. Depending on the manufacturer, Turtle Mode will kick in once the battery's charge level is below 10% to 1%. Once it turns on, it will try its best to preserve the battery level by limiting the car’s speed and acceleration.

That is not entirely accurate. Most EV's will start limiting the available power well before you enter turtle mode, but generally it will only start being noticeable when you get down to around 20% state of charge.

If you watch TeslaBjorn's videos, you will have seen him doing 0-100 km/h tests at different levels of state of charge. These are the results from his spreadsheet:

As you can see, the acceleration times generally starts going up noticeable when reaching 20-30% SOC, but for some models like the ID4 the times slowly creeps up starting as high as 70%  SOC.

Since you are married you can get a 60 day extension to "visit your wife", would that give enough time to ensure your funds are "seasoned"?

However, it took me a while to get a bank account open which I now have, but I'm less than two months until my current stamp runs out (I've already done the 60 day extension).  So my plan was to pop back to HCMC and get another non-imm visa then when my 400k has been in the bank for long enough to extend this for another year.

You can not transfer your account to a new branch. If you want to change branches, you will have to open a new account at the new branch.

Are you sure about that?

 

Any link to a credible source to prove that?

Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries, which are used in many EV models, does not contain Cobalt. On the other hand Cobalt is used in the process of refining oil.

A month under consideration period for processing a marriage extension is standard. Some immigration offices start the month on the day of application, while others start it at the end of the current extension.

So yes, nothing unusual about your situation.
