I’m Currently a WP holder for 1 year now and my Bangkok Bank account got frozen. They are requiring a Certified copy of your U.S. passport endorsed by the embassy. My suggestion don’t use Bangkok Bank. No other bank has that requirement.
Hello. I have a question about applying for a Thailand non-o visa in Vietnam. I have a limited time in Vietnam on their visa. If my non-o e-visa for thailand takes too long, can I enter thailand and then do a border run to Vietnam when the e-visa comes through and come back on the non-o? Anyone have experience with that?
Did anyone can open bank account with non-o spouse visa recently? (Married to a Thai )
On beginning of July i went to Bkk bank and Kasikorn bank branch in Phuket in order to open bank account for my husband. But the bank staff insisted they only accept non-o retirement visa or work permit. It’s really hassle now 😥
I am 20years old and currently a dual citizen Thai and British and was wondering about this Service Liabilty Letter on my Uk army application. It says about proof of not being called back for national service. Although I’ve just recently finished my 1 year national service with documents saying I’ve finished my duty.
I’m a solo traveler and I need to figure out how to get a DTV visa to get back to Thailand. I originally came in to Thailand on a 90 day tourist visa. I then extended another 30 days. I left the country and went to Malaysia for about a month. I came back into Thailand on a 60 day tourist no visa. I left again and came back for another 60 days. I’m currently in Vietnam but I have to get a DTV visa per Thailand immigration. I was told by Thailand Immigration agent I can do this while I’m in Vietnam. So I only have a week in Vietnam. I want to extend in Vietnam to give me more time to get this done. However I cannot found any information on how to extend in Vietnam. Any advice is greatly appreciated. I’m a freelance content writer and instructional designer.
IDP international driving license / insurance question.
I'm a regular visitor to Sakon Nakhon and have a couple of people who kindly let me use their cars when I visit. I have an IDP with my full British driving license but am unsure if the owners insurance will cover me for the odd days that I borrow a car.
Later this year I'm moving to Thailand under a DTV visa an I'll probably take the Thai driving test as well to be sure.
