My wife (Thai) has both her Thai passport and UK passport.

We leave UK 7th December and we both have used UK passports for leaving UK and for flight booking.

Two questions:

1. My wife can enter Thailand with her thai passport and does not need to fill in a DTAC form?

2. When returning bavk to UK, we have a plane ticket using our UK passports. Does my wife leave thailand using her thai passport, but at the check in desk use her UK passport?

I peeps. Can u recommend a Reasonably Priced and Reliable COURIER COMPANY for 4/5 suitcases to be sent to Thailand?

Preferably if you have experience from Spain specifically or Europe.

(I want it sent separately from my flight)

Managed to get Thai bank account today , after going to bank then immigration to get address certified, back to bank then phone shop for sim in my name, was taking forever at bank then my girlfriend mentioned I would need insurance and then suddenly he sped up and issued bank book and debit card when he thought commission was coming his way but I won’t buy that at bank

Lots of hoops to jump through and 4 hours later I have bank accounts Happy days

I entered the Kingdom through Laos with a e-Visa, a 90 day single entry non-O taking care of my Thai children. I live in Thailand but work abroad on a six weeks rotation.

Can I change this Visa to a non-O multiple entry 1 year Visa??

Non O Marriage Visa Extension & my wife’s Housebook

Hello everyone,

I was speaking to a friend today about going to apply for the first time a Non O marriage Visa Extension.

He told me that my wife’s house book needed to be updated and less than 2 months old additional to the Kor 2 Marriage certificate which I got last week.

Is it correct my Wife’s Housebook needs to be updated?

It was when the house was bought in January this year.

I was going to go to Thalang Amphur in Phuket in the morning with a power of attorney form to apply for it.

But my wife says you don’t update a house book unless you sell your house.

I hadn’t read about it either, but just want to make sure I have the correct information as this is my first time applying

Appreciate your feedback

Thanks in advance 🙏

Hii want to ask , regarding bank statement ..

My bank only allow me to have bank statement in my country language which is not english

Question is how do i can get it translated to english ?

Note : my monthly statement is too much like 160-170 pages in 1 month so kinda not visible for me to translate it manual

Any help appreciated , thankyou

morning all, another question for you, not visa related but more bank account so I think it's visa related anyway, so struggling to decide on 2 things,

first is sending my 800,000 for my non o retirement visa, not keen on having to add details to wise and then send the money to them first , I might just use my Lloyds international account.

second one I was thinking of getting this xpatphone for my UK number and just buy a data SIM , would the bank still take the paperwork from the phone shop as evidence or do they need a Thai phone number as well, so I can download the bank app,

thanks again for all your help though the run up to the move.

When going for a one year extension of the O retirement visa do you need to have color copies of your passport pages or black-and-white is OK? 

Can anyone confirm to get the 12 months of bank statements from Bangkok Bank and the certification of balance letter do you need your passport/ID AND your passbook when asking in the branch? This is to ask for them not to receive them.

EDIT: It seems both are absolutely necessary. So secondary question, how long after the statements are taken from the bank must they be used for the visa renewal? If the statements are requested on the 1st I aim to renew on the 9th. Should be fine?

This falls under the category of more, Thailand health insurance.

So, Pacific Cross is my insurance that I use here in Thailand. Had them for two years now and my policy is coming up for renewal next month.

Even though I've never had a claim in two years since joining them, and I get the discount yearly for no claims, the policy just keeps going up every year and it boggles my mind.

And now PC wants me to submit some BS prostate test and cataract's test of which I'm totally healthy for both. I'm in super great shape, I don't drink or smoke, workout everyday.

I need to look for another insurance provider that comparable to PC

if anyone here knows how I can get a cheaper policy or is an insurance broker here are my stats without giving way too much intimate detail you can just DM me

Current: UK citizens (all of us)

Me: 57yrs old

My partner: 38yrs old

Two male children: 6yrs old, 13 years old

I don't need vision, or dental, or pregnancy. and I'm willing to pay a small deductible of 10,000 Baht.

I just want inpatient covered for everything catastrophic or the main stuff etc etc etc.

The only reason I got the darn insurance in the first place wasn't for me it was for my partner and my kids, just in case anything happened if it was just me, then I'd get a super small policy that's peanuts and be done with it.

Need some recommendations from brokers with the information I gave you, not willing to give anymore information, I would just like to get a basic quote and if I like it then we can dig into the specifics, but based on what I wrote I should be able to get a ball park quote without being bombared with phone calls or emails, lol

Thanks for your recommendations
