No. Does someone using an agent for the 800k defraud anyone? No? A mule account is used in conjunction with the proceeds of crime. Yes, using an agent for the 800k is a breach of the immigration laws, but those using an agent for the 800k is not what they are targeting with this policy. (Yes, using an agent for the 800k is a breach of the immigration laws) no it is not! there are plenty using an agent with money in the bank get your fact right before posting Fact : it is entirely up to the discretion of the immigration officer to grant a visa extension in Thailand even if you do not have sufficient funds in a Thai bank account 1

Explain your situation: If you are facing financial difficulties, it is important to provide detailed explanations and supporting documentation to strengthen your application. 1

You are paraphrasing Section 35 of the Immigration act and I have have posted a screenshot directly from that Act and you have no comment on that.

It's all a hoax, like Covid. Me? Do nothing? I've got money in the bank, baby. My visa extension is legal. I've filed my taxes this year, and last year, and the year before. And I got my three Sinopharm jabs. How 'bout you, Charlie Brown?

But I got a family in Thailand with a wife that love me and want me stay with her in LOS. and that is enough to me, therefore if the authorities are not friendly to me I don't care I have nothing to share with them The Thai government loves foreigners like you. They say "Jump" and you ask "how high?" Financially and emotionally invested in a 3rd World Country, they have you by the b*lls. Perhaps you should try to come up with a Plan B. 2

Maybe everyone, all around the world, can take out money from an ATM with absolutely NO record at all of the withdrawal. 20 hours ago, MikeandDow said: I p*ss myself laughing when I see people call themselves "Khun" no idea of the meaning ! I p*ss myself laughing at people who take the word "Khun" so seriously. Now, about the bank thing.

KhunHeineken Posted February 19 Posted February 19 22 hours ago, ronnie50 said: Nope. But we know our Thai banks (directed by BOT) are checking our phone apps connecting to our accounts to ensure they match. Seems logical as we can only use phone apps now to make transactions, aside from going into a branch. When they disconitnued web access, I asked my bank (SCB) what would happen if I lost my phone while abroad? No answer. Then again, ask yourself this: what happens if I lose my CC or ATM that is equipped for just 'tapping'? Again few answers about liability. It's all about knowing the when, where, how, why, and who. Big Brother.

All the "dots" are being connected, globally. The member will call it scaremongering and bury his head in the sand, like an ostrich.
