ich hab via soft power und bestäigten termine im bumrungrad Hospital auf derem Geschäftspapier beworben. Vorher in bern angerufen und die meinten boah, super Voraussetzungen. E-visum dauerte 2 tage. Ein visa agent aus bangkok hat mich kostenpflichtig beraten. Das war es mir wert. Hab vorher mal in Thailand gearbeitet und da musste sowieso erst das work permit anuliert werden. Dann musste ich sowieso zu besuch in die Schweiz und gleich wieder nach bkk zurück mit dtv im Gepäck

Am besten mit nettem Briefpapier mit firmenlogo und Unterschrift vom boss. Die thai stehen auf sowas. Ich hab einen einkommensnachweis von der schweizerischen Botschaft mitgeschickt, einen Auszug aus dem betreibungsregisterdas fanden sie ganz toll, auch wenn es nicht nötig war. Papierkram beeindruckt hier 😱

The thai embassy in bern told me because i am not allowed to work. What about paying rent? I should try again. Maybe one day i will.

Ktb lady said that she would open an account for me but because it was buddha day, the manager was not working this day. Luckily i opened one when it was still easy on a tourist visa years ago. So i just tried to get a 2nd one

Because i already have a postpaid subscription, i never tried to order and activate a tourist sim inside the dtac application. Just noticed it’s there. Worth a try

I opened my account in Bangkok bank lotus branch pak chong on a tourist visa in 2018. long time ago and a lot changed since. Now I’m on a longer term visa and still have it even after moving to Bangkok 🙏

Some hospitals can do extensions, too. Guess they have foreign patients who need this, too. Maybe you need to be customer there, though

I entered by air. Employee asked: do you need visa? I said i believe not. But maybe i researched the wrong sources. Seems like the swiss government negotiated a deal in the past. Maybe it’s different by land?

@Paulie *******

it arrived. But it didn’t come from immigration, they wouldn’t know the details in this letter. The department of foreign affairs titled it certificate of nationality and includes evidence that i am registered as a swiss abroad

@James ****

for every small change my local bangkok bank branch wants me to visit the office where i opened the account. Like when i lost my card i had to travel to pakchong. Would be easier to just use the bank across the street instead of a multiple hour taxi ride
