What is the financial requirement for a Non-O marriage visa in Thailand, 400,000 baht in a bank account or 40,000 baht proof of income?

Rob ******

Are you doing it based on marriage in Bangkok? Then you can use the 40,000 monthly transfers even if your embassy does not certify it. You'll need to go to your bank and get them to issue "credit advice" statements for each transfer you wish to use. That's the proof immigration division 1 accepts when your embassy will no longer certify it.

How does PromptPay work for payments in Thailand, and can expatriates use it safely?

Rob ******

@Felix ***

have not been to a cash only place in years. Have been to quite a few No Cash (QR or card payments only) places in the past three years. Maybe "cash is king" for tourists but I haven't touched it in months.

What job opportunities are available for expats in Thailand beyond teaching?

Rob ******

Social worker could find a role at an international school. Solicitor could find a position at a white collar law firm, or big 4 consultants, or MNC's (like CBRE or PepsiCo). Definitely not limited to teaching English

Is it advisable to hire a driver for a long-distance trip in Thailand without a valid license?

Rob ******

@Lye *********

you've changed my mind. Completely changed my mind. 🥱

I have a license. If I didn't, I wouldn't hesitate to make a one off drive.

Rob ******

In many years of driving a car in Thailand, I've never been asked to show my license for any reason whatsoever. If something does happen, the fine is miniscule. Just drive yourself

What are the current rules regarding ASQ bookings and duration in Thailand?

Rob ******

@Scot ******

email the hotel, contact them through fb, send them a message in Line, but do not use the online booking system. The hotels are all used to it, it was the only method of booking for a year.

Rob ******

@Scot ******

book your ASQ directly with the hotel. This is how it was done for almost a year before agoda started offering the service. All of the ASQ hotels would rather you book directly anyway, it saves them from having to give agoda a commission

Is the Phuket Sandbox officially approved for reopening?

Rob ******

@Reiner ********

if the CCSA, PM's office (and ministry of public health) are all on board, why have they all declined to confirm anything? It seems like something they would be promoting. Rather, the only ones saying anything definitive have no authority and great incentive.
