I flew to Cambodia and applied online the day I got there. 14 days later I had my visa and returned to Thailand. And hotels are incredibly cheap in Cambodia!

I have AT&T. Was very important for me to have my exact same number for all of my USA contacts even though I live in Thailand. Basically, I pay $120 a month extra. I know that’s a lot, but I still can get all of my bank notices in my two factor authentication messages. It’s worth it to me.

I did not need any police report. I filled out the very simple form for the E visa with the Thai embassy in Cambodia

I went and did mine in Cambodia. I ended up having to stay there for two weeks.

Seems there are a couple million people a day riding without how much particularly passengers. Are they really going to enforce this????

I live in Phuket and I am on my first 90 days of non-o immigrant visa. I get the permanent one year retirement visa in a couple weeks. I asked the head of the local Bangkok bank and he said I have no problem to worry about.

Same as

. I have my one account with 800,000 and that I just don’t touch. It’s a fixed account that it gets a little bit more interest.

My savings passbook account is where I transfer my pension into every month so eventually, I can get the 800,000 back .

Similar experience at same bank. They also wanted a Residency Certificate that I got at immigration fairly easily.
