  1. I just renewed my visa. My 90 days reporting is in 3 days. Do I need to go report or not, since I have new visa. Thank you
  2. I am not planning to use agents. I never did in a decade. I can do it myself once I know well the process. I will be in real retirement, plenty of time in my hands ????.
  3. Thanks. It sounds logical and rational. I have never used agents here. I always do everything y myself after knowing the process. I was in non O before and did it by myself. It was very easy. Thank you buddy.
  4. Hi everyone. Hope you are doing well. I have been under visa for work with work permit for few years now I started contemplating to seek "retirement visa" or what is commonly called non O. Would you please share your experience/advice to smoothly move from my present status. What would be the process? Thank you in advance for your help ????
  5. Is the following statement correct ? You are excused from 90-day reporting as a foreign national living in the country if you leave Thailand during the specific 90-day period before the due date is up. In such cases, the moment you re-enter the country on the same visa, the 90-day count restarts.
  6. I am trying to download the section 38 app for filling tm 30 and it doesn't show in app store for Android. Same problem finding an official link to register and fill TM 30 form online. Can someone help if you know. Thank you
  7. Where is your local market? Can you please give exactly the location,name etc.. thank you
  8. I started shopping for progressive lenses for my glasses. I come to conclusion most stores are charging twice to three times the price abroad. It's not cheap at all and not even reasonable. Who can help by sharing name and location of what they think is a place to recommend for their service and price. Thank you for your help
  9. I have probably been in Thailand longer than you. But this is not the subject. I have never dealt with this situation in the past, and I am just sharing with positive people who may be facing dame. Keep your negativity for yourself if you have nothing useful to say.
  10. For practicality and because the exchange rate was lower than usual, I choose to transfer money to a thai foreign currency bank account and exchange only when the rate is back to normal. Another reason, is when you transfer dollars to thai account the bank give you a rate that is so baf whatever the situation of exchange rate. Most thai banks charges two times fees and taxes on their meegre interest rate too. What is astonishing is, all over the world, banks are extremely happy to get dollars into an account, which contribute to the central banks reserve in currency for international trade etc... Most banks in other countries will not charge you any fees or extremely small fixed amount.Thai banks, charge from 1 to 1.5% when you make the transfer. Let's say you transfer 50000 dollars. At 1.5% charge, they take 25,315.50 baht it never ends, when you make a withdrawal, they charge you same 1 to 1.5%. at the end after you withdraw your money, you have paid 25,315.50 for withdrawals the total of fees is finally 50,601.00 bahts. just for comparaison. A known bank in Malaysia charge 241 baht for deposit and 32 baht for withdrawals.can't even compare. I don't really understand the rational behind these insane practices in Thai banking system. Did anyone have same experience or have alternatives banks that don't have these <deleted> up rules .
  11. No. I am not married. It's just normal situation of wp and visa. Thank you
