it's not just the fees, the exchange rate plays a big part also, especially if its a large amount your transferring.

How old are you?? I believe the nightwish group are always looking for Pattaya bar managers, if you're under 40 years old and fancy it, go for it, I've heard they prefer lads with a good personality and no experience.

@Bill ********

I believe you can use the yellow house book, in place of a residents certificate if you have got one, just what I've heard.

FFS that's all we need, another COVID debate, please keep all that nonsense to yourself, the rest of us want to continue getting on with our lives, if you're worried, go and hide behind your settee until it all over 🤷🙆🤦😂😉

have you tried doing a cardless withdrawal from an ATM?? I heard it free, and you don't get that ฿15 out of Provence charge, I haven't tried myself yet.

@Craig *******

mine is ฿15 per ATM out of Provence charge from where your bank is located, I've heard if you do a cardless withdrawal it's free, I haven't tried it yet.

the usual advice is, to go to the immigration office that you will do the extension at, and ask for a list of requirements for an extension based on retirement, also ask time frames etc, because people report requirements can differ slightly from one immigration office to another, I noticed in another comment, someone has given you the basic list for the retirement extension.

You haven't stated what the extension is based on?? Just visit the immigration office, that you will be applying to, and request a list of requirements for the extension you need.

if you get an informal Ed visa, for doing say a beginners course in Thai language or muay Thai, you only need to attend school a couple of days a week, for a couple of hours, and some say you can do part of the course via a group zoom lesson.

There are very few agents outside the tourist areas that I'm aware of, there are lots of visa agents in the tourist areas, such as Pattaya that would assist you with opening a bank account.
