Has anyone applied via soft power route at Kuala Lumpur (KL)? I have not been able to find any posts regarding this. I'm wondering what the requirements may be and how others have found apply via this route at KL? Thank you.
Back in the good old pre-digital everything days I've had bank accounts with Thai Farmer and Bangkok bank, both not a bother. Ì returned couple times last year after 6 years absence due to covid and subsequent price increases, met a sweetheart in March last year and we rented an apartment and spent 5 months together in total, returned Feb this year, got married in March, now I'm busted flat back in Blighty but no wukas I got some bikes to sell but it may be quite a while before I have the dinero to get back but never mind.
What I want to determine is when I come on the 90 Non 'O' and go to open a bank account which as yet ì haven't decided which one but Bangkok's out because they screwed me before, but what's all this shit about showing a Brit driver's license? I didn't renew back in February because of failing eyesight so don't ride/drive anymore, in Thailand I ride pillion on back of the Missus and fight a losing battle trying to educate her how to ride to live lol 😆
I do still keep my expired license just for ID but no way will be applying for a Thai one. Appreciate any info 👍
I have been holding a workcation DTV visa for a year now and came back 4 times in that time period without any questions asked.
I'm seeing that more and more people get asked for 20k in cash. I'm currently in Vietnam because I had to leave after 6 months and will be back soon. I completely forgot to get cash before leaving and now I'm wondering if it's worth it get bleeded in Vietnam on atm withdrawal (they have a fee and you have to withdraw a lot of times as the limit seems quite low - I couldn't withdraw more than around 7k bahts per transaction) and most importantly I'll probably lose a few k on exchange rate here as they seem quite high.
Not sure what would be the best decision here. If anyone has a recent experience coming back with a DTV workcation in BKK airport that would be appreciated.
Question, I am happily married to a Thai national over 20 years, can my wife gives me a lease agreement on the house we built or a rental agreement (instead of living expenses)
My mom has been staying with me for the past 50 days or so. We need to extend for 30 days due to the flight situation in the Middle East.
My landlord hasn’t submitted a TM30 for her.
Is the TM30 needed for extension in Bangkok? If so is it possible to submit it this late OR would it be better to check into a hotel for a night before extension (if that’s a solution).
I’m currently in Thailand on a Multi Entry Tourist visa ( METV) . I’m staying with my girlfriend and we have been to Immigration and registered myself as living there on her house document . (Yellow card I believe ) . I am shortly leaving Thailand to visit Vietnam for about a week before returning to her house again .
My question is do we have to register myself as living at her house on my return with immigration again . ?
