Is a car insurance renewal quote of 10,400 THB for a 10-year-old car reasonable in Thailand?

Sam *********

i think many wont insure 1st class after 10 years old. my 15 year old fortuner cost around 6k at roojai for 2nd class. so the car itself is not covered but any damage it may do to other property or people is which is fine for such an old car for me

Do I need to provide proof of profit or business contracts when applying for DTV in London?

Sam *********

im assuming having money really helps and has done with past METV. if you have a very healthy bank balance/investments then they are more lenient as they know you can support yourself and will bring in decent money to spend. just my theory

@Linny ******

just a guess, but i think for cases where the "portfolio" looks like it may not be legit. a live website would be legit id hope

@Gerry *******

if in thailand it would for any dividends paid from the company as it is overseas income, or if they are under 180 days and non tax resident there or anywhere else
