It became difficult recently for tourist visa to prevent money laundering

My hometown is in Narathiwat. It's safe to travel around. People may look at you too much because they rarely see foreigners there. But people are kind. Though the experience of getting bad incident on the way is random event that one can experience. Food are nice. People are very kind. You may experience a lot of hundreds of check point on the way from Hatyai.

I advice to buy travel insurance from your country of residence. And consider benefit below

- medical expense to cover COVID.

- able to contact 24 hrs. the contact number is always on policy scheduled.

- Private hospital in Thailand is able to provide international insurance assistant immediately and fast. Just need to make sure your insurer get your call and reply your email in Timely manner.

- Evac and Repat back home that cover minimum 3-4 millions baht

- prepare pre medical history and make a copy with you. They may request if you have symptom like stroke and sudden heart failure. The med expense will be always high. They may ask you to pay and claim due to suspect pre existing

If you want to buy travel insurance as inbound package, it would be good for medical expense as company in Thailand is able to settle guarantee of payment directly just call to tell then the hospital yoj wanna visut and symptom that you have. If it is not symptom or accident that suspect for pre exisitng or illegal activitues, it will be so easy. For other benefit like baggage delay, travel delay, it would not be good as they must transfer compensation to your bank account which if you use international bank acc, they require wire transfer and you will get compensation deducted by teansfer fee.

Khun Mark, at the time of divorce processing, Thai wife and you must fill form which contain content of mutual assets information and how would you both like to seperate for each other and including children. It's something like divorce contract agreement. You both can make that before visiting office.

Lately I just got divorced with my foreigner partner and it's free of charge

- bring 2 witnesses, can be Thais with ID card or foreigner with passport

- process is done in 30 mins as I and him had no endorsement about assets.

- it may take longer if you both have endorsement about assets and other things.

My marriage certificate was registered at Thai embassy in abroad. But I have done divorced at Kathu district office, Phuket.

@Mark ********

or you can consult with accountant service you're using pay them for consultation but normally it's free for this question

@Mark ********

pay monthly at SS or online (register at SS) but to fill documents each month. It must be in Thai, your Thai gf can help you with this since you don't have exact many staffs. RD can pay monthly online or you can go directly to office ask for precedure. Good way to learn. It may be tough at starting. Keep monthly pay for annual statement

If you don't have running business or not many transaction in a month. I don't see monthly accountant cost necessary. You can do it by yourself. But in order to continue non B you need 4 thais in company showing proof by receipt of SS and RD. If you don't want to pay to hire then 2,500 is okay choice except you will find some Thai name and put that in your company instead of using accountant service

From my exp

SCB can change branch easily

Bangkok bank - has to submit doc from new branch to change take few days
