When i login into my online banking at Krungsri i can update my address to whatever i want and currently it doesn't even show an address there, so i think an address is not required to have a bank account They wanted to see my rental contract when i opened the account, but i assume this was just to see that i will spend some time in Thailand and will continue using the account, it seems they never put this address in their system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move to Phitsanulok. I have never waited more than 15 minutes for anything, and never, in 5 years, has my GF filed a TM30 so I have nothing in my Passport except TM6 and 90 day receipt.. I go to UK every year and they do me a re-entry permit, do extension no problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally, we "married to a Thai" who don't live in tourist-areas have relocated to the area where our wife's family lives - so, moving from there is not a likely prospect. But, thanks for the update on Phitsanulok - sounds like a good office. Single guys looking for a wife might want to hang out up there and see if magic happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I live here with my GF, I do not get much chance to see if magic happens. But it's an OK place if you want peace and quiet most of the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the immigration officer says it's not, they are incompetent and you should call the hotline to complain. Yes, it is proof of where you live but at certain Immigration offices is is not an acceptable proof of where you live. They prefer the rental agreement or utility bills and whatnot. Yet another one of those arcane TiT and YYMV thingmies for you. Good to know you have their hotline on speed dial. I'm not calling anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
