@John *********

thanks guys but the problem there is I have trawled around banks and been refused by all

I left Bangkok yesterday from Suvarnabhumi midday flight. Arrived at 08.45am. Was checked in through security and passport control by 09.15am

HI. I too am looking at the Elite visa and dont really understand why people are saying the elite visa is not worth the cost. You have to keep 800,000 baht in the bank for a retirement visa that you cant use where for 200,000 more i can get a 20 year visa (superiority extension elite). But medical insurance, because of age, have quoted me baht (£1000 month) which is 507,622 baht (£12,000 a year) and it does not include pre existing conditions ( in the past I had high blood pressure and cholesterol). In 2 years the medical premium pays for the 1,000,000 baht. Other then cancer the other major problems i will suffer from will not be covered. And I dont need medical insurance for the Elite Visa so as long as I keep money in reserve for medical bills i have a long term visa. I think which visa purely depends on individual circumstances. Or am I missing something????

@Billy ******

Not for me. Scared of snakes

interesting, thank you for the advise. i am in Vietnam with my Thai partner looking to go back to Thailand. My divorce papers are somewhere in a storage container in the UK so not having to go back to the UK and hunt for them would be good

I am in Vietnam and have been for 3 weeks. Tried to use the virgin card last week unsuccessfully. Got an e mail the following day to contact them. Despite advertising open 24 hours they are not. Phone numbers from Vietnam won’t connect. Tried to reply to their e mail but it got returned. Contacted them via Facebook and was asked did I tell them I was abroad. Told them literature said no need to tell them and surely they should be aware of that. They gave me another e mail address but a week I still no reply so now writing a complaint e mail. Poor service from virgin. Fortunately Chase bank and Starling bank do work ok here
