I use the lowest price plan from T-Mobile and the highest price plan from AIS. Switching between the two is fast and simple.

In the US there are financial institutions that have television commercials offering to purchase your life insurance policy. I suppose they do the math and come up with a life expectancy vs the cash value of the policy vs expected payments up till death. Since we all die someday, getting the cash at the end of life is a mathematical certainty.

The point of that is, I don’t believe you need a relative to get the value of your policy after death. The beneficiary needs to know how to navigate the claim process.

On my own, I don’t think I could do it in a foreign country unless being a highly educated person.

@Johnny *******

if you need more information, I recommend you PM me. My Thai wife can help. She did all of the work to get the K1. I stood by on the sidelines speechless and in awe.

The company that helps you for an enormous amount of money can only be in the shadows. You do all the Bangkok US embassy visits on your own. You do all the interviews on your own. If you try to breathe through someone else’s nose, you are setting yourself up for failure.

You have to do it on your own.

The US embassy Bangkok will tell you that you have to return to the US to mail the first form from the US because they will only accept it if it is mailed domestically. That is true. So, I filled out the form and mailed it to my Mother (in the US) and told her to put it in an envelope and mail it. I did not return to the US to mail it. I waited in Thailand. My wife got her K1 in 120 days from start to finish.

I also did not understand the question. But, if I had to come up with an answer, it would be zero. Zero days remaining means your visa is no longer valid.

You go get it dude!

You only need proof of funds if you appear to be a pauper.

Why not invest your B2M in your home country stock market and use your earnings to live in Thailand sabaii sabaii?

It used to hurt, but my wife told me to stop complaining. Now life is good. We do round trip from near Chicago to BKK. To Thailand in mid-October and return after Songkran. We fly premium plus for about $3000 each. I found premium plus is more comfortable for me than business class.
