Stuart Hamilton. Same thing happened with my daughter, who is dual national. They now link passports. It's just a security measure. If someone is a bad boy and gets their passport suspended, it means they can't flee the country on another passport.
Peter Stryjecki. Yeah......but it's still money that has to stay in the bank until (1) you leave Thailand (2) you die. Personally I prefer my funds to be more flexible. And interest rates are not real good with banks. My Superannuation fund paid 7.5% last financial year, and that's tax free.
I'm surprised you just didn't do it by mail. Easiest way, no hassle, just a visit to your closest post office, and around 70 baht in photocopies and postage. I have to laugh when I hear people trekking out to MTT every 90 days for a 10-minute task. But each to their own I guess!
Mark Latty. The problem in Thailand is the low rate of vaccine distribution. Foreigners coming into Phuket via sandbox are already vaccinated so I see that continuing. However, I do see ASQ being stopped.
