UK Migrants in taxpayer-funded UK hotels accused of rape, assault, theft, and other crimes
To understand the relevance you need to go back to page #1 of this thread where 'EVENKEEL' posted this brief comment: "Diversity it [sic] our strength." Presumably in support of unrestricted immigration. 'BritManToo' responded: "Name just one time when it was?" "Quentin Zen" then made the reply quoted at the head of my post. What he wrote seemed none too clear clear as to the point he was making. So I elaborated by providing details. In effect responding to the question of 'BritManToo'. I hope this explains its relevance to in the context of the earlier comments by 'Evenkeel' and 'BritManToo'. -

Thai bank account with agent
I'm sorry, but you're wrong about the source of the 800K, at least as far as Non-O Retirement visas go. On the Thai Immigration website you can the following pdf.... And on that pdf you'll find.... And at the bottom of the pdf you'll find... So... Foreign source funds are required (800K or 65K/month). You are signing and certifying that every page you submit to immigration is true and accurate. And you need to bring in originals of documents, including an updated bank passbook (and of course, copies of your passport). Furthermore, when they give you your visa, they also give you the following document so you are aware of what you must comply with in order to extend your visa. To summarize, in order to extend your visa (after the initial 3 months and then every year after that).... You must maintain a minimum balance of at least 400K at all times. While you can draw down your 800k deposit AFTER 3 months (not immediately after immigration has given you a visa as is done with the agent's funds), you must refund your account back up to 800K at least 2 months before you apply for an extension. (And again, the money needs to come from overseas. Your passbook indicates if funds are from an overseas source.) I'm kind of wondering if people who use agents are aware of this Criteria for Extension document. The requirements are laid bare and clearly call into question the practice of agents funding bank accounts. And it isn't like someone who uses an agent to fund an account can easily stop using an agent in the future for extensions, so why would they care what this document says?! Honestly, going down the agent funding route for the initial visa seems to be something of a trap. They'll need to pay agents year after year for extensions so the agent can manipulate the process smooth over the funding requirements. (I suppose it's possible to kick an agent to the curb if one decides to fund their account on their own. But even that would require one more extension through an agent since those funds won't meet the 800k for 3 months after requirement from the previous extension.) We clearly don't agree, but hopefully our discussion has given the OP (or any future person who might stumble on this thread) more information to aid them with their decision. Cheers! -

Report Dubious Products Removed from Thai Online Shops
A twist of this is receiving very poor quality manufacturer products which appear to be OK quality and appear to be of well acceptable quality. I ordred a walker with wheels, when it arrived the quality was dreadful, poor quality welding, walker was lop sided and the the double wheels on one leg jams contnuously rendering the walker unuseable. Seller has not replied to 3 messages. Another one; receiving wrong size items. Twice I have ordered 5XL underwear, and twice I received 3XL. -

Thai Immigration impact of getting added to my wife's tabien baan for her home elsewhere?
Yep... understood... I really had a two part question in my mind here in this thread: 1. The first part was COULD I do it, both under Thai regulations and without inherently screwing up my Immigration status... And it seems the answer to those is YES. 2. Then the second part is, does it make sense to pursue that, and would the advantages outweigh the potential negatives/downsides, as you alluded to in your post... On that one, I'm still undecided for the present. But the discussion and elaborations here by members such as yourself have been very helpful in me trying to carefully decide whether or not to pursue it.
