Can my Thai wife get a visa to the USA on a doctor's recommendation before our marriage anniversary?
Frank **********
No there is not another city more lenient as it is up to the American Embassy in Thailand to grant a visa or not. Unfortunately your friend being ill has no bearing on a visa. Good luck.

Why are Wise transfers to Bangkok Bank showing as 'DEP TRF FR E-CH' instead of 'FTT'?

@John ******
 what bs. Bangkok Bank used to list it as a Foreign Transfer. The other way they are doing it now started in August. I don't know why Bangkok Bank decided to use another Thai Bank but it seems shady to me.

What are the current challenges expats face with visa renewals and banking in Thailand?

@Sasha **********
 the problems are usually self made. Different Immigration Offices may require additional documentation. If people would go to the office and get the requirements it would reduce the problems on the first time. People only have problems if they don't follow the previous years financial requirements.

 millions aren't leaving it mostly illegals being deported. Perhaps Canada would like some. And meek? How? Yes we are tired. Tired of a mess at the border. Tired of the world taking advantage of us like Europe. All these decades they let their militaries deteriorate while they depended on the US nuclear umbrella.
