Nick Rostron so sorry, maybe a different day and clerk would be better? Worth a try. I went to the government offices in Khon Kaen with my Thai fiancé for his business issues, as an observer. I couldn’t believe the endless paperwork. We had to drive over an hour each way. The sad part is; could have been handled easily through a fax. I was amazed how patient, cordial, and accepting the Thai public were.
Respect is appropriate around the world. How would you like to deal with Thailand’s mountain of paperwork , day in and day out? They are kind, helpful and do the best they can for low pay.
Graham Seal do you know the age limit? I searched and didn’t find without asking them directly. I’m not ready yet and don’t want to be inundated with notices.
Personally I want insurance when the time comes to relocate. I understand presently good medical care is reasonable, but that could change. Also if accidents or a catastrophic illness occurs, best be covered. Also have vehicle insurance for you and others.
