  1. Yes, I have seen that also. That's why I think there is a slim chance of them accepting a foreign bank account as well but in official correspondence they stick to the official line (Thai Bank, 2 months). I don't live far from the border so I may go and try it with uk bank details before my visa expires, leaves me time to go again later with Thai bank account.
  2. They are saying Thai Bank only. Its possible they will accept a foreign bank account unofficially and don't want to acknowledge this in an official email reply but I doubt it. I have replied again saying I don't have a Thai bank account as I live and work in the UK and use this visa to visit my Thai wife and child multiple times a year so is it possible to use a UK bank? See what they say but I'm not hopeful.
  3. The report by Tod Daniels (quoting contacts in the visa run business to Savannakhet) is the only confirmation I can find that foreign bank accounts are acceptable. I can find no confirmation from anyone that has actually done it or been refused using money in a foreign bank. My MENO runs out in June so it would be nice to get confirmation from someone who has actually done it before I go. I emailed the Consulate last night for clarification so I will let you know what they say.
  4. Ahh ok, thanks Sheryl. I don't suppose there are any hospitals around the Roi Et or Khon Kaen area that you would recommend? Would make things a lot easier.
  5. Thanks for the advice Sheryl. I will try the early OPD clinic the day after I arrive. In the meantime I will try to get an appointment booked somehow, maybe ask my wife to call them. Cant get the online booking system page to open here in the UK (maybe the firewall at work)
  6. Hi all, I am looking for information on how to access services at the IOD. I had a new lesion appear on my nose about 1 year ago. I got it assessed at Boots Chemist in the UK (Screen Cancer UK) and received the following diagnosis: Test: Molescan-1 Result: Other skin lesion to follow up Comment: R nose. This lesion has a benign appearance on dermoscopy, but it is not possible to give a definite diagnosis. It is probably something called a fibrous papule. I would consider removal for a biopsy to clarify. Suggest GP referral to dermatology for further assessment. I work in the UK offshore on a 2 on, 3 off rota, and have booked all my flights to Thailand for the next 5 months so it will be a hassle for me to get it looked at in the UK. I live in Roi Et and have to travel through Bangkok anyway, so i thought getting it looked at by the Institute of Dermatology would be the best solution (especially as the ever helpful Sheryl has recommended them on a previous post). So my question is, how do I go about it? Turn up at 6am and join a queue? Go later in the day? Book an appointment some how? Any advice from anyone with experience of using the service would be greatly appreciated 🙏
  7. I also got a Multiple Entry Non O based on marriage from Savanakhet on June 13/14th. Just to confirm the price for the Laos visa is 2000 baht, better to do evisa as much less hassle. I was also asked for the wife's name change certs. One for ms to mrs and one for surname change so 2 docs. They didn't ask for the divorce thing (KR2) but the wife always comes with me and and they always speak to her. Wife passport is mentioned as required but I'm sure I have done it before without and no issue.
