Late credit card payment
mark5335 replied to Celsius's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
As the account went past due for less than 30 days there shouldn't be any drama at all, and a 2 week late payment can easily be explained as an oversight whilst traveling etc. given your wife's previous excellent ayment record. A late payment history is noted in the National Credit Bureau records usually up to 24 months. If your wife's late payment was made before the end of the month, then this would be likely to show up on the NCB report under the Overdue Amount column. -
Renewing a Driver's Licence Without a Yellow Book

Yeah that list seems fine, however, don't forget the obvious, i.e., bring your expired DL with you. -
Changing your passport number on a Thai driving licence
mark5335 replied to Guderian's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Years ago I went to DLT Bangchak in BKK and asked about this, and they said don't bother and it's unnecessary. The important number on your DL is not your PP number but the Licence number itself...numbers in large font with the purple shading in the top half of the DL. -
If you google "Professional Employer Organisation Bangkok" or "Employer of Record" you will come across a few firms that provide a "Sponsored Work Permit" service, which is what you're looking for.

The "sued and can not leave" visa
mark5335 replied to Hal65's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Was involved in a Civil Court (not Criminal Court) case in Bangkok a few years ago as the defendant in a commercial debt dispute. The first court appearance took place in Feb and the case was finally settled a few months later in June (i.e., less than 6 months in total). During that period I had to travel overseas so I checked with the plaintiff first to see whether they had notified Immigration to block me from leaving, to which they replied that they don't do that so I was free to travel. However, in your case as an alleged criminal the situation may be different. -
You could get one in KL, as a friend of mine got a 60d tourist visa there a few months ago (you may need to make an online appointment a couple of weeks beforehand). You can extend it for a further 30 days at Hua Hin Immigration Office as long as your hosts have registered you as staying at their address (using the online TM30 website).

Highest Interest Rates on Saving and Money Market Accounts
mark5335 replied to billaaa777's topic in Bangkok
Last month I opened a 14 mth FD with Krungsri getting 2.2% p.a., and recently I noticed that they have been advertising a 9 mth FCD in USD at 5.2% p.a. -

Indeed, even deemed as being "non-pointworthy" with the policemen doing their best to keep the arms/hands straight by their side. -
Driving Licence Renewal - Can I do it any DLT office?
mark5335 replied to hotandsticky's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
I renew my DL in Cha-am, although I live in Bangkok and have my registered address in a Bangkok district yellow book. No problem whatsoever, and in fact the Cha-am DLT staff are more efficient and friendly, accepted my yellow book address without question, and was overall a much more pleasant experience than renewing in Bangchak or Chatuchak. -

An old story, it happened many months back. One of his private planes was used for the transportation; and he's now Minister for the Interior since the last election. -

So you are still taking NR despite the cancer linkage...I've been taking NMN instead (early morning), and also Taurine later in the day.

Ho Chi Minh Multiple Entry Marriage Visa
mark5335 replied to leeedwards's topic in Vietnam Visa and Immigration
I got a 12 mth M/E Non O Thai Visa from the consulate in HCMC earlier this year. I made an online appointment 3 weeks in advance and brought with me the required documents that they had listed on their website, as well as my Thai bank book. It was a painless experience and I received the visa 2 days later. -
I've never been a UK/EU resident so the non-residence issue did not apply. The purpose is for receiving commission income from European clients for a new project I'm involved with. I liked the jurisdiction reputation of IOM and tax treatment, as well as good interest rates on FD's if I accumulate funds there.

I'm going through the account opening procedure with Standard Bank, Isle of Man at present. If doing it remotely it takes a few weeks including video calls and their own due diligence and background checks. The minimum account balance for their Optimum Account which is their transactional account is $7,000. The interest rates offered on their Fixed Term Deposits is of course much better than in Thailand.

With the prevailing poor air quality over the past week the mask wearing at present is not unexpected.

I've been buying monthly from iHerb for most of this year, and the typical delivery time has been about 8 days. However, this month the deliveries are significantly slower. I noticed in the order tracking that this month my orders are being delivered from LA to BKK via Doha, whereas in the past it had been LA to BKK via SG, so this change in transhipment location seems to have slowed the delivery times. Hopefully, the current delays are only temporary.

Cambodia: e-visa / on arrival visa
mark5335 replied to mixmediana's topic in Visas and migration to other countries
The amounts that you've mentioned are for the Angkor Wat entry fees. Instead you should apply for the 30 day e-visa, as per the following: https://www.evisa.gov.kh/information/visa_type/4
