@Lea *****

I agree, but I'm not on a tourist visa

@Mike *******

recently?

@James *************

im on the correct visa, your post doesn't make sense

@David *******

so you opened a bank account on Wednesday I'm guessing without a permission letter/ resident certificate, as you didn't know what that was. But you didn't feel like sharing this bank where they are handing out accounts like sweets? 🙊

@David *******

they were all applying for non-O visa changes - AT A BANK 🤦

@Bernie ************

who are you, Thailand's longest living expat 🤣🤣🤣

@Ant **********

the shock is all new intake will be in a catch 22 situation, the system is broke if there's no clear and defined route. I went to city hall about my yellow book, thinking that may help, nope same problem must have already extended visa not 3m

@Pete *******

yeah and i opened like 6 between 2002 and 2007 🤣. Still can't get a fooker today tho 🤦

@Alex ********

are u fkn real, the country is fked up because of 20yrs of liberal governments with open borders and caring more about migrants than their own. I wish uk was more like Thailand in that they protect their citizens by restricting house purchase and job opportunities to foreigners. UK is a shit hole now, reform are the only hope Britain has. Try reading the room, opinion polls are showing that people are waking up to the liberal nonsense. I've lived in Thailand 11yrs as a 2nd class citizen, but I agree with all their restrictions. I'm a guest and lucky to be here

@John *******

its always been my belief, that if you have so much time on your hands and doing things by the book, then why use an agent, I've always loved the challenge and the time wasting as long as the building is airconned 🤣. I've always considered agents to be there for those trying to cheat the system, although I'm sure there are outliers. But this is my first hiccup in 12yrs of doing business in Thailand, where i now have to grease people's palms to cheat the system because the system is broken. And by all accounts even agents are being turned away on this issue
