Well just tried to open an account with Krungthai. Was originally told, by a higher up employee. Bring passport and thats it.

Show up. They now require a pink ID card and a yellow book that you are registered under. Haha what is happening with the banking system here. MIND YOU I already have a business account with them, that was opened in the same branch.

Hello Everyone,

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.

The British army still won’t accept it.

Any help would be appreciated, Thank you.

Sorry if it’s asked a lot but re: freelancers on a DTV visa staying more than 6 months per year ..how hard is it to get a tax ID to start paying tax in Thailand? I’ve heard banks are reluctant to give them to folk on DTV

The main reason why it has become more difficult to open a new bank account.

[members only]/?

Many of us are struggling of opening or maintaining a thai bank account. I found one option suitable for us in the mean time if we dont want to pay 15000 to agent to open bank account : [members only]

Foreigners can open true money wallet with the limit amounf of 50000 Baht per month and 30000 baht of transaction per day

For me this option can help with our daily transactions .

Not sure if this is the right place for this question but the more I read the more confused I get. Is having your Social security direct deposited into a Thai account better or should I keep it in my US bank and do monthly transfers? Thanks in advance

Hi

My Question: Do I need an Affidavit of Freedom to marry if I am marrying (in Thailand) the Thai citizen to whom I’m already married in my home country?

Greetings! My Son is visiting Phuket for Muay Thai training for two months. He is prescribed Xanax for anxiety. Would he be okay going through customs with that medication? I did not see it on a prohibited list. Thank you.

When I retire here next year, will my US pension and Social Security be taxable in Thailand? Will I be paying Thai taxes and US Federal taxes? I guess at least I won't pay colorado state taxes.
