How can I make unlimited calls from Asia to the United States using VOIP software?

Bennett ********

Skype is great for making phone calls worldwide. Can even call a landline. The person or business you’re calling doesn’t need to have any special software or app, they just answer the phone like a regular call. Extremely cheap, just pennies.

Thank you! To clarify - you mean that he would have to exit Thailand to activate the new uni visa & then enter Thailand under that? (If so, that is not a problem.)

Can ownership of a condo in Thailand be changed between foreigners and Thais or to a company?

Bennett ********

We bought a condo in Bangkok, & before the sale could take place, the condo manager had to obtain a report of Thai/foreigner ownership in the building, re: the 49% maximum foreign ownership rule. We were told the sale can't go through without that report. So should be very clear.

What are the requirements to prove an 800k baht balance for a NON-O visa extension when not in Thailand?

@Brandon ***********

Good advice. At Bangkok Bank my 12-month statement took, I believe, 3 business days. I had to return & pick it up. I had not been aware of that, assumed I could just go there & get it on the spot. So leave yourself enough time.

I believe as foreign residents in HK you can obtain the intl. license there. In 2019 when I lived in Hong Kong I applied with my US drivers license for a HK driver’s license, & from that was able to get the international license IN HK. This was in 2019.

What are the challenges of renting a condo in Bangkok and how can I find a trustworthy agent?

Bennett ********

In general, it’s a buyer’s market - there are tons of empty apartments for rent. No need to worry about losing out on an apartment.
