  1. Hi. 

     

    Just to make sure here that when checking in to the flight the 72 hours timetable for covid 19 test is from the result time, not from the time when the test was taken? I can go for example 4 days before the check in to the test?

     

    4.3  The original COVID-free Health Certificate (COVID -19 is not detected and the COVID test must be by RT-PCR method) and “Fit to Fly” doctor’s certificate, issued no more than 72 hours before departure.

    Thanks for your reply fishtank.

    After going through all the recent hurdles just to get back into Thailand, I don't plan to leave for a long time to come, so I won't be getting a new TM 6 card by departing/arriving. 

    I am wondering how immigration will view it since there always seems to be some form that asks for the TM 6 number. I can't remember off hand which forms those were, but over the last 12 years, I do remember being asked on more than one occasion for my TM 6 number.

    I had the same issue. Problem was that I was not able to do 90 days report online. I sent the report by mail and put to the form that the TM6 is missing. No problem and got the 90 days report done. When I left Thailand June 11th they did not ask TM6 so was not a problem not having it. 

  3. So it seems tm30 is now mandatory at CW. Got a queu of 252 people before me. I just wonder is it like this every time I travel abroad and come back? I have wife and a kid. We have better things to do than queu whole day every couple weeks... 

     

    Other thing also that you need to have bookbank when you collect passport after pending period. So no extension if you touch the money before extension confirmed.

    Thank you for all the useful information. ...One thing I'm not sure on though.. Re: the above...

      I was under the impression that when bringing in money to buy a condo....It had to be the "exact" amount of the purchase price as stated in the cortact to satisfy the Land Office?

     

    Me too but actually it just needs to be at least that amount. Just transfer some amount over.

  5. I can only transfer 20000€/time with overseas online banking. If you do several transfers like I do, ask credit advice (credit advice is a piece of paper which shows what was the exchange rate and total amount in your currency and THB) to each purchase and when you buy the condo, a bank will write the FET for all the transactions combined.  I think banks here don't even do FET for transfers under USD50000 so I need to combine many overseas transactions to one FET. I also put to description field "For the purpose of buying condo" text.

     

    Previous info was given to me after the sales department from Pruksa developer called to Kasikorn Central Rama 9. I tried to ask this at the branch in person, but they don't know what to do.

     

    I will have about 6 months between first transaction and time when I buy the condo.

  6. I have all the answers I need to make the transfer the way it should be done. 

     

    Thank you for all the people who gave real information and who comment with negativity... I have one sentence which might help you out also ?

     

    He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; he who does not ask a question remains a fool for a lifetime

     

    For the people who want to buy condo:

     

    1. You need to transfer the money to the bank account in your name (the exact buyer name).

    2 Get credit advise from your Thai bank eveytime you transfer money (lets say you transfer 3 times, you get credit advice 3 times). You can transfer money as many times you want. Always in foreign currency.

    3. You also need passport, signed agreement about the condo purchase and your account book bank.

    4. Bank will write FET (or similar) when you transfer the money to buy the condo.

    5. And after this the land department can write the condo to your name.

     

    I guess this was very obvious right? Sorry to be so stupid asking ?

    1) Never heard of a bank limiting the transfer amount, means you will need to pay the fees twice.  I dont think multiple transfers would be a problem, at worst it may mean 2 separate FETs to show the land office. Amounts under $50,000 US and the bank usually does a letter instead of an FET, so maybe one letter.

     

    2) Most cover this by putting Condo purchase when you transfer the funds, there is usually a field asking reason for transfer. Its not enforced or even required when you get to the land office but may come into play later if you are exporting the funds after selling a condo. The information is more for the bank as they need to report all incoming funds to Bank of Thailand.

     

    Dont forget to send as Euros, dont convert at home and send baht

    See points 7 and 16 in above link

    1. Actually I asked about the limit and it is 30000e/time with online banking using the service sending euros. Well the fee is only 6.75e / transaction.

     

    2. I will put the info about condo purchase to the message fiels.

  8. Hi. I am buying a new condo (to my name) start of next year and I am aware of that I need to make a bank transfer from overseas in foreign currency. In my case, it will be Euros.

     

    I have few questions.

     

    1. When doing online transfer the limit from my EU bank is 50000e/transfer. So I need to do couple transfers (I am planning 30000e and 35000e, total 65000e). Is this an issue?

    2. I got information that I have to make sure that the transaction is for the purpose of condo purchase. How can this be done with online banking? Or I just transfer money to my bank account in Thailand and the bank in Thailand will make the FET form?

     

    I just dont want to mess up the transaction from EU so I would like to have some help. I went to Kasikorn and they did not know anything about FET forms etc.

    Thanks in advance for the answers.
