to be clear I’m comparing to USA/EU.

@Paul ******

the Thai divorce settlements are pretty reasonable.

Usually the house and half the checking account. If you put the car in her name she gets that too.

I had a problem a few weeks ago and chase told me to speak to their “transfer department”. After being transferred over (no pun) I spoke to a person who took care of everything (sending to Cambodia) after I was striking out. Also they sent the confirmation number to my recipients email. The whole thing was quite lovely because I was really struggling and they untied all the knots effortlessly.

Every bank has a “transfer department”. Normally you have to ask a human to transfer you. That department may jn fact just do it for you and send you a link to authorize prior to execution.

@Liz *****

what was the reason for such a long wait? Did you have to return to that specific office?

IDL or Thai. But depending on where you are can use your home license but I would suggest carrying your passport then if you go that route. Worst case you get ticket and pay fine. Unlikely you will be screwed about having your bike or car get towed (very rare and you have to be a real asshole) since it’s a rental.

What kind of visa?

No sarcasm - the struggle is real! Every few months when I’m super motivated I get my bank to give me 50 and 500 baht notes. Very handy.

Who said it was a residency visa? I just say LTR because that’s what it is called.
