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).

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. -

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.

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 -

Krungsri Exclusive - Any experiences?
mark5335 replied to Foxx's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I got the Krungsri Exclusive Visa card earlier this year. In my opinion there's not much benefit in being a Krungsri Exclusive client unless they approve you the visa card, as quite a few of the benefits come with the card. Fortunately, I already had a current Krungsri Platinum Visa card (unsecured) from years ago when I had a work permit. So I had to apply for swapping the card to the Krungsri Exclusive Visa card (unsecured) which took a couple of weeks. I was not required to show updated income documents which was a relief, but I did need to consent to an updated credit bureau report. Without the existing track-record I believe that applying for their visa card on an unsecured basis would be difficult. My accounts are domiciled at their Emquartier branch, which is foreigner friendly. The staff there took care of the visa card swap application, and occasionally they contact me of there's a new fixed deposit offering. They have plenty of info on investing in mutual funds although that's mostly in Thai language.
