Was much easier this time and got mine within a day .Had to supply wife’s ID card,as in staying at her house ,as an additional document after submitting

Yes £38k a year .Luckily I have done a lot of OT this year so just sneak through

That will be my local IO and I will probably need one to open a bank account so not great news lol

Can we just clarify if a multiple entry non o is available in the uk .I thought it wasn’t

My main reason for this idea is that I can maintain a uk residence so won’t have any bank account issues and I will also receive,a few years ahead,the state pension increases .It also takes away the issue of opening a Thai bank account with all the current issues

If I wanted to split my time between the uk and Thailand and used the non o marriage visa .Can I use a non o for say 90 days and return to uk then maybe a few months later return on another non o .Are there any rules stopping multiple non o visas

When I done this about 10 years ago my biggest issue was the English test .All the test centres seemed to only offer tests at a far higher standard then was required and I couldn’t find one that just did the A1 test .Eventually after fairly twice we did the test in the uk ( on tourist visa)

Don’t you enter your passport details on the ticket ?

No problem but the OP is clearly a uk citizen

When I did my tourist evisa there were no questions about insurance.Does this pop up because of your age ? The questions that weren’t relevant i just wrote NA on a blank piece of paper and photograph it in reply

Thanks for the info and at last I’ve got a straight answer to my OP ,yes there are agents at Pathum Thani IO

I didn’t start the money transfer conversation it was others joining in and changing the topic .All I asked was are there agents in Pathum Thani and I now know there is and I can use one to open an account

My lol was that I would find a Thai man in a suit that’s all

I will probably use agent so when I do my TM30 report I’ll look for a smart dressed Thai man lol

Strange because they charged me £9 for small amounts and about 20 for large sums

Thanks for the local information.I haven’t got a non o yet but just want to make sure that I don’t leave uk and find out I can’t get a bank account and therefore an extension ps my pension will be too low

Lying on a beach for 8 years or working ,tough choose

Sounds promising just last week a guy on here stated that they weren’t interested and told him to go to uk embassy,which don’t issue them

Not my experience with Lloyds

My OP was asking if it’s true that Pathum Thani won’t give out COR so still waiting for some local knowledge

We have a house in Pathum Thani city

Sorry I misread it as a maximum of 50 k not a minimum

I suppose it will be an issue transferring 800000 bt if max is 50000 a day but still probably save best part of £1000k by using wise as opposed to a traditional bank

I recently sent £10 k with wise arrived in seconds wife received about 420000bt .Lloyds bank would have received about £390000 if lucky massive saving on a relatively small amount

Maybe 4to 5 baht more on the exchange rate might be a factor
