Phuket: Just pop down and give them your passport and passport size photo, fill in the form with your info, pay 1900tbt. Go for coffee, pick up passport with extension. (Some immigration office might want tm30. )
I've not emigrated. I get free NHS prescriptions and medication. But I buy stuff in Thailand when there. Other than medication for major health issues, I treat myself for most things at home.
I was in siam.legals office and 14k was what they quoted for opening the bank account. I wasn't doing the visa. She may have made a mistake, but she told my Thai friend in Thai and me in English.
Have you checked their fees? They wanted 14,000 to open a bank account for me. Crazy money. I did it with help from a Thai person. How much have siam legal quoted to do paperwork for visa?
so happy you live your cat enough to bring it with you.
I contacted an agent in BKK. They also deal with the bank, but I've set up my bank account on my last visit and can now deposit my money before I head over next year. I'll be taking my dog too. He's disabled and no one wanted him because he's got wonky legs. 🐕
