Do I need to verify a parental letter of consent for my Thai daughter's passport application in Thailand?

Mark ******

for what it’s worth, my daughter also got her Thai passport with no input from me. Her mother is Thai, I’m Australian, my name is on her birth certificate and we weren’t married at the time. This happened several years ago, so maybe the regulations have changed?

What are the current COVID-19 entry requirements for traveling from Thailand to the UK and Australia?

Mark ******

The way I understand the answers so far, if I have had 3 jabs here in the Land of Smiles (I have), I won't need a test before flying out (I will be flying to Australia). Is that correct?

What issues might arise when transferring money from a UK building society account to a Thai bank?

Mark ******

ahh, that might explain why Immigration wanted me to change my “retirement fund account” from Kasikorn to Bangkok Bank when I renewed my Retirement visa in December. I’ve used Kasikorn for the past few years (on their recommendation), but suddenly this year they wanted it changed.

Ahh, OK. I've also transferred amounts like that in the past, I thought this THB 50,000 was a new thing. Maybe I read it wrong.

Thanks for that info. I asked because I read somewhere recently (and I may have misconstrued the article) that Thai banks were now accepting a maximum of THB50,000 per incoming transaction. I believe it was something to do with combatting money laundering.
