I just wish they would speed it up and get it over with then everyone would just forget about it. And all the muslim countries would be thrilled that there is no longer any pressure to open their doors to the hamas loving scum.

Bank accounts and brokerage accounts in the US can be designated to be Payable on Death (POD) or Transfer on Death (TOD). This is legal in almost every state. The funds will transfer to the designated beneficiaries upon proof of death. POD/TOD takes precedence over a will and does not have to go through probate. I assume that if a will contradicts the POD/TOD designated beneficiaries it would open a can of worms though. When I had my will made the lawyer made no mention of bank or brokerage accounts to avoid any conflict. Same with Thai assets, no mention in my US will and was advised to make a separate will in Thailand for Thai assets. I think this has been brought up before and is not available in Thailand unfortunately

So when someone commits a crime and then gets arrested you consider that "giving themselves up" ?

You didn't even read the OP, did you? Mr. Botha did not give himself up. He was apprehended by the police after causing a disturbance.

I think the OP must be running out of material if he is recycling 20 year old stories.

Yes

It was for retirement and they did not stamp and sign the statement. Nothing to distinguish the statement they provided and the ones I downloaded. Edit: Of course YMMV. When dealing with the IO's my experience may not be the same as others.

At Jomtien I provided bank statements generated by the TTB phone App for my extension done Apr 29th. I make one for each month as the year goes by and my last one year extension I printed off 12 months of statements. The day of the extension I always go to the bank at opening time for the bank letter and then straight to Jomtien IO. At the bank I asked for an April statement so the final month was current up to the day I applied for the extension. The April statement was exactly the same as the ones I generated in the phone app and forwarded to my e-mail to be downloaded. You couldn't tell the ones I downloaded from the one the bank made for me. The statements I downloaded were accepted without question.

Thailand is a party to both the 1949 Treaty and the 1968 treaty and can issue both IDP's. Just get a 1949 IDP in Thailand. UK is the same. Party to both treaties and can issue both IDP's. They can even issue the 1926 IDP if needed. The gov.uk website you posted a link to is rubbish. It doesn't list both IDP's for countries that ratified both treaties. Pretty poor for an official govt website.

Agree , Always taken when I go to see my dentist and was taken every time I went o see an ENT Doc for a few visits.

Elon is a US citizen. But you are correct that he can't run for president.

I've never had birds crap on my clothes in the dryer.

I'm starting to speculate that some of our more colorful and controversial posters are actually going to college, and are taking classes in communications. And are currently in the course entitled "Manipulating Social Media by Trolling Internet Forums"

Are you serious? You think issuing fraudulent passports would be showing compassion? What happens when a woke passport is used to try and enter a non-woke country and the person gets arrested and spends a few weeks in jail trying to get things sorted out. How about this idea. Issue passports that say "male" to males and passports that say "female" to females. regardless of how they choose to dress.

True in the case of the OP because he has an Australian license. An IDP based on the 1968 Vienna Treaty is valid up to three years. However, the UK is the only English speaking country that is a party to that treaty. Any country that only joined the 1949 Geneva Treaty issues the IDP's that are only valid for one year.
