if you use an agent to bypass the financial requirements, you'll have to continue using an agent the next year

depends on the immigration office. Most don't care. But some have started asking for proof that it's retirement income. You would need to check with your office to be sure.

@Wayne *******

People don't do it because some immigration offices don't accept it, and it makes the process far more complicated than it needs to be. But if the monthly transfer is 65,000 and the bank balance required is 800,000, then if you have 400,000 the monthly transfer would need to be 32.5K. But each immigration office treats it differently, so you would need to check with your immigration office before you even tried it.

Lineman, Grab, and Shoppee Food should be available in large areas

like I said, I could make a passport page with your name in 5 minutes. That's not anything. Do you have your passport? Then you're worrying for nothing. Someone got access to your account, and used your points. It's as simple as that. They didn't get your passport AND your account. They're just adept at using breached accounts.

Hotel check-in staff are not trained at identifying counterfeit documents and they don't care to even try. They're just doing the bare minimum for their minimum wage job.

@Lawrence *******

This isn't identity theft. It's a hacked account. Happens every day. You report it to the company that owns the account and then you forget about it. Same as when my credit card is used somewhere. I report it to the credit card company and I'm done. I don't go to the business where it was used and try to play detective. No one is going to care. Not the business, not the police.

Just make sure you spend at least a couple nights in Laos as that's a requirement at many of the borders now to be allowed back into Thailand if you don't have a visa.

That doesn't seem like it should even be possible. Quite confusing to be honest.

@Jesper ******

no. Every month. If there's no transfer in July you do not have one every month. Doesn't matter if every other transfer is 1 million baht. The only thing that matters is at least 65,000 baht every single month.

foreigners liked it because it was all English. Which is likely why it failed. A business that only caters to foreigners and not the locals is leaving out most of the potential customers. None of my Thai friends even had Foodpanda on their phones.
