  1. Hi, just curious how long does it take for you (or your agency) to renew WP and what is the cost. I renewed 4 times already (with two different agents) and every time it takes around 2 months and cost approx 30,000 THB (10,000 with receipts) including re-entry permit. One agency asked for 40k and they promised to do within 1 months.

    I have no intention to run by myself so just want to know any experience from your side ...

  2. I'm wondering who is supervising Thai commercial banks. I have a problem with my CC balance / statement which the bank admitted is a serious glitch in their computer system that has never happened before. In case I'm not happy with the result of their internal investigation is there anybody I can contact? Something like Financial Ombudsman or shall I contact VISA? Any ideas appreciated.

  3. I was referring to "Enrollment fees" or "Admission fees" for Thai children - ie for NIST the Thai Child "fee" is around 1 mil THB so that's why I want to use my child foreign passport. I would appreciate any reply from someone who has kids in int. kindergarten or school ...

    We start going to some "schools" for 1-2 hrs once a week since 8 months and she really enjoyed companion of other children, not only adults. Same when we took her to a daycare when she was 15 month and she could run and play on the big playground with lots of toys and other children. Some kids wanna stay with mommy, some like to stay with other kids.

  4. Hi, our child will be turning two thus we have to start thinking about kindergarten. For Thai child they have to pay hefty registration fees but usually for foreign child the fees are either waived or much lower so my questions are:

    1. if I take my child for registration and they will see blank foreign passport (no visa / no stamps) would there be any problem? We travel quite a lot but always when returning to Thailand use Thai passport.

    2. If the school requires a visa, what docs we will need for the Thai embassy abroad? I have non-B & WP, my wife is Thai and both employed

    3. Any suggestions in Silom / Sathorn / Thonburi (close to the river) are for kinderkarten & school? Some reasonably priced with some foreing children ... St. Andrews looks good but the fees are through the roof

    Thanks

  5. Citibank is the easiest one. I got my CC after few months WP. Kasikorn and KTC gave me Platiniums only after 2 year WP. Of course salary proof (i got away with some paper from Govt. that I'm paying taxes from my salary. Not exactly sure about the process coz accounting was talking to bank directly ...

    what is the minimum salary u need to apply citi?

    btw, i think applying amex is better (directly with amex, no banks), i heard they have less restriction but you still need to prove salary +work permit etc.

    For foreigner it's 50k - anyway this is the minimum salary so you have to pay taxes from 50k even if in real you get less. From Citi i got only standard card with 20k limit. From Kasikorn I got Platinium with over 100k limit.
