But can you trust a cctv movie of an actress? Maybe she was acting.
The police men are probably thinking, hey the cctv was off, we could have put a few plastic bags over her head.

Hi. All car rentals seem to be fully booked during the Christmas period, so I think just to buy a car, have the ownership transferred to my wife, and leave it with the family. Since I am Dutch and do not have a residency in Thailand. Car will be bought in Bangkok where my wife is still registered in the house book of her family. the car will be in the 100,000 till 200,000 price range so a type 3+ insurance seems sufficient I think.
Questions
- if the seller (car dealership) does not want to join the trip to the land transport office, how many days do you have for the transfer?
- Will the seller request a guarantee the name transfer will be done?
- next to the cptl insurence which insurance company is recommended for a type 3+ insurance?
- is it possible to get a car insurance within 1 day?

Depends on location and price. My wife would like the present ????

If they say foreigners, it probably excludes farangs.

you over estimate the knowledge of those police men. They thought it is only lethal with 7 bags. So it can not be murder.

She will need to get some papers and get them translated and stamped.
Birth certificate
Proof of being single
She can send a written permit to some one in her home village to get these papers for her and send them by mail. This can even being done from abroad.

Well that explains all the drunk driving. If you don't drive you will die for sure, so better take your chances.

So this will be called the QOA Visa, or Quarantine on Arrival before enjoying our Covid free vacation. Not sure anyone can get afford 6 weeks off from work let alone actually obtaining the time off all in a row, in the real normal world.
Every 2 years i get 3 or 4 weeks vacation in december or a 2 or 3 weeks vacation in januari. Usually i spend those 6/7 weeks in Thailand. Next year december i plan to travel again.

That I disagree. In all religions live after death is much better so a true believer wants to die as soon as possible.

I know a woman who runs an underground lottery. Twice a day. Guess the last two numbers at which the SET closes at lunch and at close. Twenty baht a guess. She has so many regulars I wonder where they get the money.
This is up country not in any town.
Well my wife paid her mothers gambling debt of about 70,000 baht. So there comes the money from.

They should dig a tunnel instead of a bridge.

Does the sender uses local conversion ( the default) or opted to transfer dollars and let SCB do the conversion?
Check out transferwise, that is fast and has low fees at the moment.
-
Maybe a tunnel or just cheaper flights.

I can't find anything for a E-visum on the website of the Thai embassy or consultate in the Netherlands. Only this form http://www.thaiembassy.org/hague/contents/files/services-20180315-093549-736429.pdf and go to the consultate before 13:00. Well I will see Friday what happens there.

It depends on the country you want to get citizenship from.
Example, the Netherlands requires a legalized document of the Thai embassy that you give up your Thai citizenship before you can get dutch citizenship. However, if you have a dutch parent or are married to a dutch citizen this is not needed and you are allowed to keep the Thai nationality also.
Probably the UK has the same rule. Some countries ask you to promise to renounce your previous citizenship, but do not require prove you actually did. Best is to get the information at the source, the UK embassy or a ministry.

It will be impossible for him to stay for a period of 9 months in Thailand I think. The longest period will be with a multi entry tourist visa (costs 150 euro) http://german.thaiembassy.de/visaarten-und-erforderliche-unterlagen. But this visa is valid for 6 months so still 3 months missing. It also requires prove of having 5000 euro on a German bank account. He still has to travel 2 times out of Thailand. or 1 time if he can get a visa extension of 30 days 2 times.
His pension is not sufficient to qualify for a "longstay" visa you can obtain if older as 50. If he has 20,000 euro savings this type of visa maybe an option after november.
Health insurance is best obtained in Germany.
My advice, If he can qualify for a longstay visa; go for 2 months on a single entry tourist visa in August and travel back in October. Then if he likes to spend more time apply for a "longstay" visa after becoming 50. Else get a multi entry visa and travel in November so he can stay until May.
Note: plane tickets are a lot cheaper if traveling with fixed dates a a return within 2 months

There are no cheap alternatives to replace the ED visa if you are below 50.
The easiest, the Elite visa will cost about 1,3 million baht upfront, 260,000 baht each year for 2 adults and one child
Starting a company will require a 2 million baht investment capital and all the hassle of having a company (4 thai workers per foreigner on the pay list).No idea how you obtain a visa for your child based on this.
If you have over 10 million baht in savings you can consider an investment visa. If you are not officially married your girlfriend also needs to invest the same amount.
Try to convince ( pay ) a company to hire you to work in Thailand and get visa based on working in Thailand.

If you get in need of expensive healthcare to stay alive or keep a good live quality then living outside your home country can just become too expensive. So it depends on the healthcare your home country offers and how much money you can spend on your health. People without funds leave Thailand to get health care offered by their home country social security system, will be kicked out Thailand after the money is depleted or die before all the money is gone.
Example a 85 year old woman living in the Netherlands gets a new knee and hip paid by her health insurance (4000 baht a month). Cost of this in Thailand will be about 2 million baht I guess. If you develop a cancer that can be treated to prolong your live, your savings will eventually run out in Thailand. So you you do not choose to leave or to stop the treatment, you choose to die.
If you really want to live in Thailand at your old age, why not apply for a permanent residency. No more visits to the immigration office.

At every airport and border crossing the officials should ask for an approval letter or prove of single parenthood if not both parents travel with the child. Of course the rules are not always applied. So kids get abducted.
Do you expect a land border crossing and taking a flight out of Cambodia, Laos or Malaysia would be easier?
Also you can expect problems in every country if you do not have documents proving your are the child's caretaker. Although it seems that countries as India, Pakistan and Marocco do not seem to care a lot about international laws about child abduction.

Also, he could get his initial 90 day O visa IN Thailand if he can show financial qualification for the later retirement extension. Qualification via bank account, income, or combination. To do the 90 day O in Thailand though using a bank method, it must be shown that the money in a Thai bank was transferred to Thailand from abroad.
The challenge then is to get a Thai bank account on a tourist visa. Assuming the OP does not have a Thai bank account yet.

$2100 US a month, so you do not want to spend the money on a 5 year Elite visa.
Money comes from interest and deposits, so no monthly pension that can be confirmed by an embassy.
You only want to go out of Thailand like twice a year, so no 30 day or 60 day visa runs.
Only sensible option left a retirement visa which will require to transfer 800,000 baht of your funds to a Thai bank account. First you have to obtain a Non-Immigrant Visa or One Year Non-Immigrant Visa and then convert it in Thailand to Retirement Visa.
You can do all the paperwork yourself or search for an agency that can help you for fee. You probably have to go to a Thai consulate/embassy and your country embassy a few times.

By working as an internet nomad you already breaking the Thai law. Paying tax over the earnings will not legalize it. Instead of subsidizing the purchase of submarines and watches donate your money to some useful community projects, if this makes you feel good. Plenty of projects to choose from.
If you want to pay tax just buy a foreign car with a very big engine :)
Working in Thailand requires a Thai work permit. Yes working as an internet nomad being in Thailand is working in Thailand. It is impossible to get a Thai work permit for working as an internet nomad with only customers outside Thailand. Even if you get a work permit while working for a Thai customer this will not legalize the work you do for other customers. Enjoy that the law is not enforced on you. A privilege not many people have living under a military junta/

I am sure there is a definition what is considered to be 'work' in Thailand.
Can you drive a car or do you have to hire a driver?
Can you walk or bicycle to visit a place or do you have to go by public/private transport?
Are you allowed to clean a glass in a hotel room or do you have to call room service?

“Softening of demand after April” – Phuket hoteliers worry about bookings

Expect more russians to come when Putin announces he needs 500,000 more men to die for him.
That will be long stay tourists spending their money in Thailand ????
Of course there is a small risk that if the number of russians gets above 40% Phuket is considered part of Russia and will be bombed to liberate it.
