  1. so, entering visa exempt vs. a 60d toursit visa, there is no difference when going out to CW to obtain a 30day extension ? so on a 60d visa, one could go to CW and get a re-entry permit, and be stamped in for a 2nd 60days when used via land entry? from Lao
  2. > age 50 Non O says one is to have a "state pension" , I can show bank deposits but alas have no pension at all anyone just ignored that and not asked to prove they have a state pension ? then in the application it says so, if I did go to Lao, just get a single entry, then apply at chang wattana for another entry or do the 45 day visa exempte route somewhere in the last 45 days ?
  3. just curious why not take the new MRT instead of the taxi/expressway from MoChit?
  4. I might prefer the actual visa, is METV the one tourist visa that allows re-entry? assuming I don't go to Lao for example
  5. so besides just reading it here, is there a more way to confirm the process/actual JP-Chase Swift Code? I suppose I could do a $100 test deposit, and worse thing that happens is it bounces back ?
  6. Hello, am considering a >80 but < 90 day stay in Thailand from the US. With a possible few weeks in Lao. If I were to leave on day 55, cross into Lao, upon re-entry by land is it currently 15 day stamp? No problems ? or Are there multi -entry 60 day tourist visas ? I'm not seein authoritative information in places like: https://thaiconsulatela.thaiembassy.org/en/page/visa-types-2 and/or what is typical and most convenient ? I'm not sure I need the METV for $200, which seems to be 60 day stamps for each entry/re-entry
  7. looks like the form wants BKK Banks Swiftcode as well as the Intermediary ? VG says that for outgoing , that one needs to ask BKK Bank for their intermediary NOT ask VG, so possibly there might be a difference To vs From VG ; Looks may have to attempt a call to BBL, unless it's on their website somewhere, or to confirm its accuracy for Wire back to VG , then VG would confirm it's intermediary; the agent never stated if it was also JP MChase or not /the actual Swift sorry I don't see how to edit posts , on Thaivisa; VG's form also wants the BKK Bank address , mine was setup at the Exchange Bldg there at Asoke ; guess I'll have to look it up (as your OP states) lastly, they said the minimum transfer amount is $100 by phone, and $1000 via vanguard.com fwiw
  8. or what else is need for the form besides the SWIFT code? what kind of Bangkok Bank details would I need ?
  9. so doing the international wires is preferable to domestic to the BKK Bank NY Branch, primarily because of a fee difference? And/or once the International Wire form is submitted , the wires can then be done online via a VG brokerage indefinitely?
  10. just don't massage the leg at all, IMO for a few reasons
  11. seems to me you should do bit more research before just doing thing ???? above a user explained the wire to NY is domestic not intl ACH has been long discontinued , many posts about in ThaiVisa/AN. Transferwise is supposed to be reasonable for <$5k transfers, it's not $0 or $10-$30 which wires will be ; if we knew the general purpose and approximate value, we might be able to suggest other options
  12. so just curious how or what *are the JPM Chase Bank details or where/how to get them. and the VG form ? I don't plan on any immediate transfer but might like to get this option setup while I *do now have access to Medallion signatures. Assuming, once set up it allows 1 way transfers from VG Brokerage to BKK Bank, and not vice versa ? (for security purposes?)
  13. despite it no longer being required, in the past I would sign up for a decent travel insurance, that actually pays in advance. trip will be 2-3 months. i'm aware many just "self insure", i'm curious, if anyone can recommend something known to actual pay for covid inpatient care, directly or otherwise ? I assume there is no longer any forced hospital admission isolation going on?
  14. yeah, this is the problem with saying anything without full assessment of a person . medical history, meds, age, should be disclosed as a start, but then is what it is. so are they going to incise and drain the hematoma ? anticoagulants are high risk meds hematomas in upper legs can sometimes calcify fwiw
  15. yes, can't sleep more than 3-4 hours straight. btw, vaccines esp mRNA just prevent severe covid/death, not contracting it, which is why such a shame to see all the brave deniers on here.
  16. so what is the usually Validity Date for a US 60 Tourist visa? is there a choice? if one intended to do a 30 day extension @ ChaengWattana is one supposed to technically buy 90 days of insurance for the Thailand Pass, if it even continues till the fall. and/or for the 1st 60 days? and then buy a 30 day insurance extension while in country? I'd like to buy a ticket for the Fall , but kind of a 'chicken & egg' as to how the pandemic is going to do IMO ...
  17. sooo, your doing a long-stay/relocation to thailand, on a 60d tourist visa? what insurance and for how many days did you buy? isn't there still the thailand pass thing?
  18. https://twitter.com/radleybalko/status/1529679652154920960#m Uvalde is a town of just 16,000 people. But it apparently has a SWAT team. We’re regularly told small towns need SWAT teams so they can quickly respond to events just like this. The killer was in the building for an hour. -- I found the Facebook page of the Uvalde Police Department. It is very interesting and does not conjure a feeling of safety or wellness. facebook.com/uvaldepd/photos…
  19. you need look no further, than the responses here, to see what the problems is. imperial violence abroad, =violence @home ; the blowback costs of the hegemony that seeks peace through violent coercion instead of through taking care of its people, "defund" or redirect it from massive police overtime to actual people and their needs ; the police shoot & kill 1000+ /year , year after year, they are no heroes
  20. I had the Intermediate CD never really used it, as it seems like an old fashioned method of just listening to whats in the book. wouldn't bother looking for a school based on the transliteration method, nor the content, just find one you'll attend and stick with preferably in person, for X hours/week if your serious find one that doesn't allow you to speak English ????
  21. typical. one time I did get an SMS was when on the new device, I chose "sign up" instead of login, otherwise, this process seems broken badly IMO
  22. well can not get the LINE sms using DTAC Call over wifi, so guess I'll have to wait till I'm back in los, cause really don't want to re register the number to the US number (which I'm soon to lose control over ) hmm but guess i can try "call me instead" depending on what the dtac call over wifi might charge for an incoming call this also doesn't work, for some reason, already tried putting the dtac sim in the new phone, didnt help receive the dtac sms via roaming tmobile ; unless dtac call over wifi doesn't like vpns , out of ideas again
  23. i can give it a look, but again, using a US SIM is not going to allow me to transfer an account register to the DTAC phone number
  24. seems your confused , on the new device with the dtac sim card in it, roaming on, logging into line it asks for a phone number or facebook entering the phone thai dtac , it says it will send an sms for a verification code, however no code ever arrives, which is what I thought I wrote above https://help.line.me/line/android/?contentId=20005077
  25. Hello, I am able to receive Bangkok Bank SMS and DTAC , but when I try to transfer my old phone line to new phone/device via the existing DTAC Thai phone number, I receive no SMS I'm wondering if maybe Line SMS is not the same as Bangkok Banks ? (I don't have the Line linked to a fb acct, and won't) if So, is there any way to get the original Line App account transfered to my new phone, other than being in Thailand to get a Line SMS? for now I'm using Line lite on the new phone which generally works however I'd prefer to get the mainline Line app account working on the new phone ..
