Can you get bank statements from Bangkok Bank via email, or do you have to pick them up in person?

Mark ********

Ok. Before the experts start telling you that statements have to be stamped, it's crap! Bangkok Immigration (biggest in the country) accept the emailed statements WITHOUT a stamp. That's a fact. If some pissant provincial office doesn't accept it, elevate it to a higher level.

What is the easiest way for my Thai girlfriend to visit the UK for 4 weeks?

Mark ********

If you've only been meeting since March I don't hold out much hope for you at this stage unless she has a good job with decent salary for a length of time. The UK government has been stung by Thai girls getting into the country and then staying beyond their visa, so they're very strict these days

Why was my re-entry permit application denied due to lack of a TM30?

@Charles *******

I make a habit of getting to the airport 2-3 hours before the flight. Gives heaps of time.

Can I use a fixed deposit account for my Non-O retirement visa renewal in Thailand?

Mark ********

You don't have to make a deposit. You just update the book on that day. You will get a "balance forward" entry

Further to what Brandon says, no idea where you're getting this 10% tax nonsense from! Stop talking to agents. They spread so much misinformation

Can I still apply for a reduced retirement visa in Thailand if I'm amicably separated from my Thai wife?

Mark ********

It doesn't actually "revert". The marriage visa no longer exists, so you need to start from scratch with an "over 50" visa (O, OA, OX, LTR) if a person is over 50, otherwise they will need to seek out a different visa (ED, B, DTV, Elite)
