Kbank DD

I am trying to set up a direct debit payment from the UK into my Kbank, I cannot get through to them on the phone the Live chat is a robot and not answering my question and the email I sent will take up to 10 days

My question is does the swift code need to contain the main bank code or the branch code

With best Regards

looking for advise here. Perhaps others have some experience on this. My wife is Thai and I had her come to the USA under the K1 Visa. Now we plan to travel back to Thailand and live there moving forward. This means I will be under an Non-O visa when I travel back. I am getting all documents in the USA to make this a smooth transition. From a documentation stand point is there any thing I should look out for. I plan on bringing over several authenticated copies of the marriage certificate from the The Thai Embassy in USA to Thailand.

When renewing the Visa on yearly basis what should I expect?

It looks like exit and re-enter on this Visa is permitted. What does that process look like?

Do I need to have a living location such as a condo locked in prior to landing? Is a hotel sufficient?

I'm on a Retirement Visa. I arrived back in country on 15th September. I did my annual extension on 24th November. Does anybody know for sure whether my 90 day reporting starts again on that date, or do I have to report on 14th December (90 days after arrival)? Or like so many other things is it dependent on the whims of each individual immigration office?

Hi there. I'm asking for advice for a friend,as he's not online very often,etc. 'I went to open a Bank Account today and they won’t let me unless I have a “Long Term X-O Visa. It now seems I can’t apply for it unless I am physically in the U.K. ?

Is this correct? He's currently in Nong Kae with his Thai partner and son. They're not married yet. But I'm asking on his behalf as he's got no idea what he needs to do next. Thank you. 🙏

Final Non O Marriage Visa stamp after house visit

Hello everyone,

On Saturday the IO officer came to my wife’s house and his colleague took 3 photos around house with him and us together.

He messaged my wife yesterday and said for me to come to the IO with at least 5 days left on my marriage visa that expires on dec 23.

I assume for my final acceptance stamp in my passport for the 12 month extension.

My question is do I need to take anything other than my passport?

Maybe they want another copy of my Bank book update from today to see my bank balance isn’t below 400,000 baht?

Thanks in Advance 🙏

Facebook has forced anonymous posts on groups (in the form of nickname aliases). It's no longer a setting that can be turned off.

I have been denying every anonymous post with the comment that we do not accept these posts. MANY people do not read the comments that Facebook sends, and just see that their post was rejected.

Do you think we should allow them?

(If you did not know, admins and mods can see who submits anonymous posts so they're only anonymous to the other group members)

I want to visit Thailand for 3-4 months. I don't have 800,000 baht in the bank! What is the best visa/visa renewal combination for me as a UK citizen? I am happy to leave for a neighbouring country and return.

Thanks

trying to book an appointment at thai embassy london to submit a passport renewel . and i’m baffled with booking system so it only works on google chrome but asks you for various name id card etc in english and then asks for thai addresses and contacts in thai language all drop down menus are in thai. how the hell does that work? two keyboards so wifey barely reads thai after 25 years and i can’t read it full stop.

anybody else had this issue as must be the same for all visa booking. shambles
