My friend in UK is applying for an IDP and has been told by the PO that they no longer issue them, it's now done online at the government website

British people who want to sponsor a foreign spouse or partner for a visa must normally earn £18,600 a year. This minimum income requirement is increasing to £29,000 in April 2024 and further rises are planned

I bought a new car last year, the dealer registered it with DLT for me, free of charge. I had to give them a certificate of residence from immigration and they took a copy of my passport.

I did it a year ago. I had a ME non O Thai wife visa. Flew to HCMC, got off the plane turned around and got on the next one back to BKK. I was only in Vietnam for a couple of hours

That depends on which area he lives in. When I lived in Watanna my tambon was Khlong Tan Nuea

It shows up with a V not a W.

Just enter V in the field and it will appear in a drop down list. I lived in Watanna up until a year ago and have used the online form many times

Depends on your bank. I opened my SCB account in BKK and moved to Kanchanaburi a year ago. I went into the local Kan branch and transferred without any problem. Altogether it took about 20 minutes, I took bank book, debit card and passport with me

I also bank with SCB, my UK pension is sent via a 3rd party bank. I apply to my branch and they get me statements from the 3rd party bank. (SCB told me that they only keep the last 3 months on their own records) They put the bank stamp on each page and immigration at CW accepted without a problem

I am on medication for thrombosis, I buy it without a prescription at a pharmacy near Chula and have it posted to Kanchanaburi. Takes a day to arrive and costs me B600 for a 100 tab boyyle.

So I'd check out the availability of your meds before attempting to import them, Thai customs are real hard nosed sods.
