well thats no problem, if its her house she can make a rental contract for a year. A lot of expats live in the house of their gf or thaispouse. You will need this for your 1 year extension anyway.

Well there must be a reason why they can‘t unfreeze your account. All those others who had frozen acc. had been unfrozen after bringing along all needed documents and proofs.

@Wayne *******

Its a website, but you have to register the owners house with his housebook and ID first and once you have your own login to the site you can register your own TM30 every time you need it.

@Mark ********

no certificate of Residence, no passport, no Thai mobile no.? You don‘t need DL either if you have CoR, right visa-type etc.

@Colin *********

Did you leave the 800k for 1 year + had the 65k also already transfered internationaly 12 months before applying for the change? This is the way it has to go as @Wannikea Wanblee described it here already

@Parker *******************

the same way all burmese and other foreigners get their work permit

@Gerg *********

Krabi is the worst

@Mike *****

To live there? It seems you missed a lot and never made own research. They don‘t have retirement visa and plus you cannot open bank account there either, only if you get an electronic Identification (e-ID). And they just froze 80 million bankaccounts some weeks ago, by the way.

@Phil *****

Yes, I know, but I have the possibility to walk in early in the morning and get an appointment, I was told here.

@Julian ******

again you are rude. Somehow you have no clue at all. It takes 1.5 hrs. until I‘m over the Sarasin Bridge. You don‘t seem to know anything about the traffic in Phuket. Just take a look in google maps. Yes you‘re right, it shows 2.5 hrs from your khura buri to Phuket (northborder). Now just look up khura buri to rawai. 😉 Please if you are not able to stay polite in your answers, then rather don‘t write anything.
