not the best method or the cheapest, you need a non imm visa to be able to apply for a yearly extension 'retirement' either from UK, or within Thailand as part of a conversion process from visa exempt or tourist visa entry.

keep away from agents they are costly and on the whole do something iffy, not quite legal just plain iffy.

Go to the agent

Best option

True, the owner should bear responsibility; however, the manager is the facilitator of the offense. Whether the owner knew of the infraction or not; it's the manager's job to know.

Whatever happened to sweet 16?

White skinned women beware!
Is this article real or a joke? I've never heard of any Thai calling me white skinned man. It's foreigner or 'farang'. God knows what they call other races? Yellow skinned Chinese? Black skinned Africans? Brown skinned Indians?

You mean wowowowo red skin Indians, or lndian Indians?

Hard to say, after five years here, I see it in all its Splendour, my biggest bug, is Dangerous Driving everywhere, it's enough to put you off going out...

Lots of positives that's for sure....

See what happens in the future....

good on ya, but please tell me how did you manage to stay there for 5 years....what is the secret of getting visa

Up to you.... most probably, she does no care and she is not interested or do not want to insalt you

Don't sweat auserb...

David48 is the most relevant to assist here. He is going through exactly your situation.

He will be along shortly to point the way on top of Samrans fine help.

thanks I will get in touch with him.chears

dear friend, I am in the same boat. To rent a car, you must have valid visa, master or other crdit card it could be a visa saving card with minimum of 20,000 bath. go to carent.com

Totonjoy, agreed - your will should be in your native language (although not necessarily "English" for all "Western expats") unless you can read and write fluent Thai, as I explained above at some length. It does not, however, have to be made by a lawyer (Western or Thai) and if it is made by a "Western lawyer" you should ensure that he is versed in Thai law - there are considerable differences, such as the trust laws which I touched on briefly, and a "Western lawyer" may not be aware of these.

I should also point out that unless your solicitor is also the executor/administrator of your will (something I would avoid personally, unless you have no option as well as no friends) he will not "make sure ..... that it is executed correctly". If you have only paid him to draw up your will that is where his responsibilities begin and end; anything done with it after your demise is up to your administrator.

NALAK, I don't know which solicitor you finally used, but you did name a lawyer on 14 March; you are definitely not using me - most of my legal work is pro-bono, but when I charge my minimum fee to simply look at a case is 7 figures (baht).

Hi Mr. Pie, could you please tellme your address an phone numberand I would like to come and visit you to do the last will.. here is my email

Yes I did and also included an alternate


Since there have been so many questions regarding this, here is mine with individual names redacted I have bolded the areas of special importance here in Thailand (IMHO)

I, xxxxxxxxxxx , residing at (address) Kingdom of Thailand, an unmarried male, declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, and I revoke any and all wills and codicils I previously made in the Kingdom.

ARTICLE I: Funeral expenses & payment of debt

I direct my executors to pay my enforceable unsecured debts and funeral expenses, to include but not limited to the cremation of my remains, the expenses of my last illness, and the expenses of administering my estate.

ARTICLE II: Money & Personal Property

I give all my tangible personal property, bank accounts, cash, automobiles, and all policies and proceeds of insurance covering such property that is located in the Kingdom of Thailand, to my partner, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Thai ID number xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. If she does not survive me, I give that property to her minor (under 18) children who survive me, in equal shares, to be divided among them by my executors in their absolute discretion. My executors may pay out of my estate the expenses of delivering tangible personal property to beneficiaries.

ARTICLE III: Real Estate

I give all my residences, that are in my name or in the company name of xxxxxxxxx, subject to any mortgages or encumbrances thereon, and all policies and proceeds of insurance covering such property, to my partner, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx . If she does not survive me, I give that property to her minor children.

ARTICLE IV: Residuary Clause

I give the rest of my estate (called my residuary estate) to my partner, xxxxxxxxxxxxx, If she does not survive me, I give my residuary estate to her minor children who survive me, in equal shares, to be divided among them.

ARTICLE V: Fiduciaries

I appoint my partner, xxxxxxxxxxxxx, as Executor of this will. If she is unable or unwilling to act, or resigns, I appoint her son-in- law, xxxxxxxxx, as her successor. If this successor also predeceases me or is unable or unwilling to act, his survivor shall serve as executor. My executor shall have all the powers allowable to executors under the laws of this country. I direct that no bond or security of any kind shall be required of any executor.

ARTICLE VI: Simultaneous Death Clause

If my partner, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, and I shall die under such circumstances that the order of our deaths cannot be readily ascertained, my partner shall be deemed to have predeceased me. No person, other than my partner, shall be deemed to have survived me if such person dies within 30 days after my death. This article modifies all provisions of this will accordingly.

please advise

English translation of your sons birth certificate,your birth certificate and passport,and the citizenship by descent form which you can download of the net.Local doctor who knows your son can sign

Sent from my GT-P5210 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

Thanks again Woody and the rest of you guys

Thanks a Million but, what kind of documents do I need/ before coming to Thailand......Who can sign and authorize two (2) photos of baby?....what forms? actually as I said we are not married but in the babies birth certificate it clearly said that I am father......Do I need to translate that certificate and what else do I need to prepare before I come to Thailand...Thanks for answer in advance....

What samran says.

BUT

If you aren't married, they wouldn't consider you to be the father, so only she would need to be there.

What does the birth certificate say?

thanks for your coment...on the birth cetificate says that she is the mother (Thai) and my name and that the child is mine..

if you are registered as the father on the Thai birth certificate, you need to be there in Thailand at the time of passport application as Thai passports require the presence of both parents.

Otheriwse, you have to sign effectively what is a power of attoerney form (available from the Thai embassy in Canberra) and send this up to your other half to take to the passport office.

As for the Australian passport, you'll need to apply for one for the child so they can enter Australia without a visa. Have you organised citizenship via descent for the child yet? If not, that is the first step, and the OZ passport can follow.

It shouldn't be that hard, and have done the same for my three kids (although we all live together here in Thailand).

Dear friend thank you for your information, As I steted earlier, I did everything they ask me for including you sugestion, but not to avail

Ok fine, But what should do? I am coming to Thailand in October...what kind of documents do I need? ..it says clearly in the birth cerificate that I am the father....surely mother of child should be able to obtain a Thai passport as the child is Thai born, no mother who the f....kin ...father is
