Transition from non B visa to non O visa
Petchou replied to Petchou's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
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 ????. -
Transition from non B visa to non O visa
Petchou replied to Petchou's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
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. -
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 ????

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

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 .

Different dates for WORK permit and Visa

Thank you all for your help. I got it now. -
We heard long time ago, that Thailand have adopted vaccine pass. Did anyone get one? Who deliver it? Or it has not been delivered to anyone? Who is supposed to deliver it? Hospital?

I agree with you. I experience this a vet clinic but don't really know where to get medecine prescribed by vet when my puppy is sick? Never found pharmacy specialized in medecine for animals. Did find some medecine for dogs sold on lazada and shopee but the price was comparable to vet clinics.

I was recently at a hospital, i got prescribed medecine that cost me 4700 bahts. Later on I asked a pharmacy for same medecine, the total was around 900 bahts. Got scammed for almost 4000 bahts. There is no <deleted> ethics or honest business practices in some places. Lesson learned.
