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.

Mots visa services in Pattaya, can assist you with opening a bank account, I think it was ฿4000 agent fee +฿700 payable to the bank for the ATM MasterCard, and they recommend you put a ฿2000 cash deposit into your account, no need to buy the banks accident insurance.

I've heard legally, you can only use an IDP for 3 consecutive months.

@Stuart ********

if you buy a car or motorcycle privately, what documents do you need to change the ownership of the vehicle?? I have heard about needing a residence certificate, a signed copy of the passport, if it's a foreigner, or Thai ID for a Thai, fill a form out, and maybe have an inspection at the land and transport office, I assume it's all done at your local land and transport office, where your residence certificate was issued.

@Steve ******

it says if you have already got the requirements, definitely worth checking them out for a quote, I've never used them, but I've heard of them, and I think they have got an office in Pattaya.
