Can my friend do his 90-day reporting in Koh Samui with a retirement visa?

Stuart ***********

As others have stated, do it online immediately. If it is rejected he still has time to go to the IO to resolve the issue.

What is the best way to bring my Thai wife to the UK for a visit?

Stuart ***********

Whatever you do, don't pay a Thai visa agent to go through the process. They cannot bribe anybody and know as much or less about the process than you do. Read the guidelines and provide all of the evidence requested and more, also put it in a logical order with an index. Good luck.

How can I obtain an International Driving License (IDL) in Pattaya if I forgot mine?

Stuart ***********

I have read here that at many DLT offices you don't need the IDP to apply for the Thai 2 year licence, so give it a try.

I brought an IDP so I don't have any personal experience, but as your licence is in English I can imagine the IDP not being required.

Do I need to visit the original Bangkok Bank branch to request a proof of funds letter?

Stuart ***********

I have been able to get the letters at different branches no problem, took me about 10 minutes at SriRacha last year.

If they insist you go to a different branch ask them to transfer your account to that branch. I think they will then change their mind and do it.

Do it online, it takes a couple of minutes and you get an email reminder 14 days before your next one is due.

You can send me the money you save on fines if you want to give your money away 🤣

What is the process for obtaining a Thai driver's license as a retirement visa holder?

Stuart ***********

yes I agree Graham, same as most things in Thailand.

Is that true about it being mandatory to get the 5 year licence, as that seems crazy. After 2 years you should have a pretty good amount of driving knowledge without doing the 1 hour video.
