It’s called “sarcasm”. ;)

@Thaimer *****

I guess “You cannot turn water into solid gold “, which btw is totally true. 😉

Took me two visits about a week ago. The first bank (SCB) made copy after copy and then told me they needed to ask HQ. The second bank (Kasikorn) started to create the account immediately after checking / copying my passport and residence certificate.

All done in the province (Sakon Nakhon).

@Us ****

I’m very happy for you.

@Us ****

Just kidding, bro. I’m not political. 😉

From an economic perspective, printing too much money lowers the exchange rates, thus reducing spending power on foreign products. The long term effect is more complex than that, but it indicates you can’t print money as much as you desire.

The US finally went bankrupt? I missed that! Such good news! Where’s the champagne?

PS: 🤣🤣🤣

@John *******

I don’t even know what a cash+ transfer would be. Where did I write about “cash+ transfers”?

@John *******

Yep. Though some offices do not accept the combination method, so it must be discussed with the local immigration office first. (Even though this method is official).

The fun part is that the method is *not* officially approved for those on a marriage visa but apparently there are some offices which allow for a combined income / bankbalance method as proof of funds.

Thailand is… Thailand. 😉

I’d say Better stay on the safe side. Choose either the bank balance method or the income method and don’t go for combined unless 1) You really have to, and 2) You have discussed this with the local immigration office and they approved it.

It’s really sad when a statement, confirmed by at least three persons, is deleted by the admins or mods, while the rant from some ****** knowitall remains, questioning the statements confirmed by multiple members and the ******* person is even arrogantly requiring proof.

Imho the arrogance should be removed, not the truth, unless we do not want truthful advice in this group.

apparently you think you’re in a position to question statements made by four others. Where does your undoubtedly superior level of knowledge originate from?
