I tried this week at the bangkok bank hua hin, they gave me a form and told me to take that to the main immigration office.

I did ghat and basically they said once you have permanent residents and can prove it then they will sign the form for me to return to the bank.

A little awkward if applying for a retirement visa and needing to have the account to deposit the money into to get the visa.

What I deduce from it is 1.get residency

2.get the permission

3. Open the account

4. Deposit the money

5. Get the retirement visa

rude, but I guess compared to a Hispanic rant a winge is more acceptable

just use your sons address, remain in the UK taxation society and keep your bank account, they need not know it does not matter, you don't have to have an international account. 👍

Not sure the point of the post, you have a uk address, you haven't told them, you read something!

It's still thailand your mot leaving, just going up and coming down, thai airspace is classed as Thailand, nor borders crossed.

Books are very complicated actually, strict rules on the content and if educational. I once had a client want to send a library to Afica to a school, guess what, they wouldn't allow it. Other items had to have h&s certificates otherwise they couldn't go and electrical items tested and certified, it goes on and on, it becomes too much hassle.

Understand your best intentions, do alot of research first. 👍

I worked in freight services for 35 years, you can find a charity first to donate all to, then they bring in as charitable items, they will know the rules. If you want to bring in as personal effects then you need to catalogue the items and value for customs (not insurance)

Then find a specialised personal effects carrier. They will check and confirm everything with their agent in Thailand prior to shipping.

Costs have gone up immensely so I would image its cost prohibited and you would be better off selling in the US and make a donation instead.

Hope that helps.

Pava Scotty you saying best place in the US is everywhere 🙃😉

@Rok *******

that is true, the everything opens a wide door to, well quite simply anything 😀

Be humble and point it out, apologise and say it was a miscalculation, if they do anything it will be the fine, like others have said its an easy mistake to make.
