isn't bangkok sinking?

a will - that's a good idea. This 800k is my only asset.

DrJack Thanks for your reply - can you refer me to the other forum this has been covered in?

I'm on a Non-O Retirement extension. What happens to the 800k I have in the bank if I pass away? The Account is in my name only -has no debit card so bank teller withdrawals only

– but- my wife has been able to transfer in/out of my account from her account in the same bank. (I’m not worried that she will be doing this as that is the intention.)

Also does Immigration need to be informed when a farang has passed away?  Or does one go onto an Eternal Overstay?

Thanks!

After submitting on line and having the info I entered accepted I noticed in the .pdf receipt that I had failed to enter my Arrival/Departure Card number and how I entered the country. Will I be able to submit a new report or modify the current one?

Thanks

Thanks!

There are some differences in the info asked for between the On-line TM47 and the In Person form.

On Line Form                                                                     In  Person Form

*Arrival Thailand Date                                                            Entered Thailand On___________

Do I use my entry date from 6 years ago -or actual most recent entry?

I have for the past 3 yrs been using my last land entry

                                                                                         By__________not on online form

                                                                                        [ x ] non imm not on online form .

                                                                                        Arrival Card no._______not on online form

Stay Visa Expire

-original Visa from 6 yrs. ago in old/expired passport?

Original visa doesn’t have an actual expire date but has Must Enter Kingdom Before date

Building Name/ Owner Name

my wife’s name as she is owner or MooBaan name? Or leave blank?

[ ] Use Login Information

What is this? - info captured when I registered for OnLine service which was only my email.

Or does it get info from this form ?

Contact Person Surname not asked for on In Person form

Contact Person Given Name not asked for on In Person form

Contact Phone not asked for on In Person form

What is the best way to handle these entries? Only one item is asterisked -*Arrival Thailand Date -

should I use my arrival date from my visa from 6 yrs ago? Or use my last actual most recent arrival date?

Should I just skip the non-mandatory items and just submit the form?

Assuming your condition is terminal but your death is not instant but pending in a few days/weeks or whatever you could do a funds transfer out or even an account closing yourself rather than waiting until after your passing and having someone else do it.

Tomorrow (Aug 2) in Khon Kaen I'm sked for my 1st jab of something - probably SInovac.

A few weeks ago one of the large private hospitals here was selling reservations (at THB3300) for Moderna deliverable sometime between Oct and Mar.

Today (Aug 1) the Thai expatvac website went on line for foreigner registration for Pfizer

If I win the vax lottery and am offered all three of these vax are there any risks in getting all three?

...and going forward with ideas - how about working rear fender lights which would be sorta easier to spot while the ninjas stealth ride at night.

digbbeth, thanks for the idea - I think that will solve the problem

Does 7-11 have a service where one can transfer money between branches? If so what is it called and what does it cost?

Thanks

Was it you usual server, or a new staff member that couldn't be bothered and just fed you a line?

It was the owner. I also checked with an online pharmacy (Bangkok Drug Store) and they said they couldn't sell it.

Thanks for the replies and the info. I'll be seeing my neurologist Sunday for a regular checkup. Hope he'll give me a script for 6 mo. supply that I can use at my pharmacy and not just in his clinic.

Does any one know the reason this generic medicine suddenly changed to prescription only. I have been buying over the counter for control of tremors due to Parkinson's disease for the past 3 yrs. 7 weeks ago I bought some without problem but when I went to my regular pharmacy with my laundry list of meds yesterday I was told that Rivotril / Povanil was now prescription only.

My Thai wife is the beneficiary of my US issued life insurance policy. When (if) she receives the payout paid into a Thai bank will it be taxable in Thailand (where we live) ? Does she have to get a Tax ID number ?

I'm assuming these health plans must be paid in full upfront - do any of them offer the possibility of monthly or quarterly payments?

Details on How to "Register" from Thai Embassy in the US:

https://thaiembdc.org/2020/06/22/foreignerswithnono/

3. Foreigners married to Thais, or permanent residents of Thailand (around 2,000 have registered).

The article fails to mention where one needs to/how to "register".

Does anyone here know?

A caveat to that  may be if  you are intending  to  claim insurance coverage

 

 

re claiming insurance cover: Medical insurance vs. Life insurance or either type?

Could I (or my spouse) request my release from hospital, regardless the severity of my condition, once charges reach a certain limit?

I’m on a Non-O doing retirement extensions and I self-insure. My “insurance” funds are deposited in a Thai bank and are in addition to and separate from the amount I use for my Immigration guarantee. I have additional family cash assets which I wish to use to cover medical costs that my wife may incur should her health fail. I don’t want to use or be forced to use these funds for my own care. I do have a Living Will Declaration in Thai. If I can’t just request release from hospital could my spending limit desire be incorporated into the Living Will in such a way that even though the amount of the funds may vary the amount I’m willing to spend on myself be limited to the current balance of X account?

from MIMS a couple more are listed:

Is this just for 3 May or from 3 May onward?
