WISE....Beware !
keithcresswell replied to kalasiner's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I've used Wise for many years and there have been a handful of times when it's been delayed, as far as I remember it's been at a weekend. Last weekend my wife had to wait 2 days for her transfer to reach SCB. I did a transfer to Kbank on the Monday morning and it arrived within seconds. She was still waiting for her transfer to arrive. Maybe it depends who the receiving bank is. -

I have two TP link models. Both work fine they rarely need rebooting. -

Uk settlement visa biometrics

When we did it 2 years ago it took 6 months. The delay was blamed on the Ukraine crisis. So hopefully it will be shorter now.- 1 reply

German tourist’s night out in Pattaya turns into nightmare

Should have put his towel down first. -
I have read on some Thai lawyer's websites that Holographic wills are legal in Thailand. But naturally they don't recommend them. In this case lawyer's stationary is not required and the will must be completely written by hand.

I renewed my 5 year license in February and was told foreigners have to make an appointment in person, bring your passport and get there before 9 as appointments are limited. When you come back you must have a qr code proving you watched the video.

Translation service near British Embassy AIA Sathorn Tower.
keithcresswell replied to stubuzz's topic in Bangkok
I used the translator in the MFA which was just as well as a miniscule error was spotted, so it was easy to take it back to the translator to correct. Also they were cheaper than outside quotes I received. -
Pay attention when police stops you

A lot more sophisticated now than a few years ago when it was just a number written on the back of a cigarette box. -

Bangkok Bank Passbook Entries
keithcresswell replied to AAArdvark's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I was told by a BKK Bank manager that if there have been more than 30 entries since the last update then entries will be consolidated. -
A medical certificate is required for renewing a 5 year license at the Pattaya Land Transport Office. I got mine from a clinic where the only requirement was to know my weight and height and have 100 baht. There were only two tests at the LTO, braking and knowing the colours of the traffic lights. That was three weeks ago so things could have changed.

I went to the MFA 3 weeks ago for the same reason. The Thai fiance doesnt have to be there but it actually helped in my case (for a change). I needed my passport and affirmation verified which cost 400THB each. I was advised to use a translator in the MFA because if there is an error its easier to go back to them to get it corrected. There was an error so we were able to get it rectified easily. The translation cost was also 400 THB per page. We were also advised by the Translator that its best to collect the document in person than have it posted because of the time wasted if there is an error. I don't know where you are based, but my local Amphur in Pattaya told me that a branch of the MFA had just opened there and we hadn't needed to go to Bangkok. Too Late...

I just successfully renewed my license yesterday. I had the same problem with the website, but someone suggested I use www.dltelearning.com (no hyphen) instead which shows the video (with subtitles) and questions in English. You have to register first by choosing the Foreigner option. I got a QR code which I had to print out and take to the DLT. To be honest I don't think they even looked at it. Anyway it worked for me at the Pattaya office.

UK Settlement visa vignette validity

In our case last June. My partner was given 90 days, mind you it had taken 6 months for the decision.
