I just had a conversation with my barber after I saw his two school -aged daughters on site. "Fourteen new cases in Kap Cheung/Meuang Surin".  'Schools in Surin closed for one week"  (I presume online learning is still happening.)

Call Kap Cheung Immigration at 044-559-128-9 if you want to know what the situation is there.

immigration office or go to labor dept? Which one?

Go to the Labour Dept.

I am passing on the experience of a close friend.  The letter needs to state that they (your first employer) are aware of your plan to take a second job and have no objection to you doing that.

To take a second job you need a letter of approval from your first employer, which should not be hard to get in this instance.

This is an educated guess from someone who has never used it;  about 1 hr.

Yes. Ask at the counter where they sell cardboard boxes.  What you want is "Logispost".  They will take care of securing the bins shut.

Divorces do not happen overnight and he could delay things until he can meet the financial requirements.

That is my thinking too.   I think he could run out his Marriage Extension.  I don't see how Immigration would know he is divorced unless and until he tells them.

No problem in principle, but how would he be meeting the financial requirement ?  Money in the bank ?  Monthly income ? Combination ?  He might need some time to provide the extra funds, or proof of same.

I don't know much about divorce law in Thailand.  Perhaps someone else can advise - are divorces final on the day of the judgment, or is some lead time granted ?

You will receive an ‘out of province charge’ every time you use the ATM. 

Some additional features may not be accessible (I’m not sure though).

 

It would make sense to change your branch to your new location, just to avoid any unknown issues. 

 

If you can’t easily ‘change branch’, just open a new account in your new province.

In Thailand, you don't "transfer" an account from one branch to another.  You open an account at the new branch, then transfer the money on deposit.  There is no need to do anything with the old account, it will close after one year due to inactivity.  If you have any reason to think that you might need the old account some day, keep the balance above B 2000, including provision for service charges.  and do at least one transaction per year; preferably two, in case you are ever one day late.

- you can update your bankbook at any branch of the same bank, either at the update machine outside, or at a teller inside.

- you can continue to use the account you have now.  The only noticeable difference you will see is an out of province service charge.  I pay B 15 per withdrawal on my Bangkok Bank acct.  You can replace a lost or expired ATM card at any branch.

- if you need an annual letter to confirm your bank balance for visa extension purposes, I will refrain from giving an answer on that, as I have always done it at my home branch since I switched to Bangkok Bank.  

Might you be referring to St. Mary School ?

I know nothing about it myself.

To the OP:  Get your degree and transcripts authenticated by the appropriate part of the British govt. before you leave.  Unlike most other western govts, your Embassy in Thailand will not do this for you here.  Search online for more information.  Sorry I can't help you more; I'm not British.

I have been suffering severe withdrawal systems. It's been about two weeks since I've heard some Thai idiot talk about a travel bubble.

I don't know the answer to your question, but I presume bus # 52 is still running.

As Joe says.

 

Get a re-entry permit.

 

You MUST be back (and able to attend immigration) for the end of the "under consideration" period.

Same experience here, though in my case,I returned with two days left.

A friend of mine travelled from Bangkok to Surin by bus  on Apr. 24.  To the best of my knowledge, nothing has changed since then.  The only thing out of the ordinary was that as he left the bus, he was asked to provide his name and phone number.  Presumably this was so he could be notified if any of his fellow passengers became Covid positive.

There was no requirement, or even a suggestion that he self-quarantine.

So, Dilligad was right. Chunponburi has come out of nowhere, to now being in second place in the Surin Covid Sweepstakes.

I have just sent you a Private Mail.  Please sign in to see it.

If they wanted to release prisoners, for whatever reason, they should have done it before Covid became rampant in the prisons.

A friend of mine returned from Bangkok to Surin on Apr. 24.  The only thing out of the ordinary was that, as he left the bus, he was asked to provide his name and phone number. This was presumably to notify him if any of his fellow passengers turned out to be Covid positive.  It was not required, or even suggested that he quarantine.

Anyone who obtained a bogus visa should not be too surprised if lightning doesn't strike the same place twice.

why?

See the last sentence of Ubonjoe's reply, which must have been posted just seconds before my reply.

How will you be funding your retirement ?

Given that this thread is about a bank holiday, I presume you are talking about a bank to bank transfer. If you are, you are right.
