RubyChestnut08 I am sorry for what you are going through. Unfortunate that your health certificate issuer is requiring that document. Best of luck and safe travels.
It is my understanding that if you are traveling with the animal you can get an import permit issued at suvarnabhumi aqs. It is preferred to have the permit in advance but it is only required in advance if the animal is being shipped. Are you tra veling with pet in cabin? Perhaps you can show them that the Thai permit is not required before flight? (Also check with your airline). Prior to moving with my cat from the US, I heard several people say the Thai permit did not arrive before their flights, and they traveled anyway and handled it on arrival. See info in my reply below
Check the requirements for the bank you are applying to. Not all of them require a residence certificate or a TM30. Passport, Long Term Visa, Lease, and Taxpayer ID info might be enough.
Greg yes I can. I have 20 months to put part of my monthly pension into a thai bank account / reach 800k Baht without ever touching my savings or investments in the US.
