SINGAPORE - published 23.03.2020
1. Passengers traveling as short-term visitors are not allowed to transit or enter Singapore.
-This does not apply to returning residents of Singapore (Singapore Citizens, Permanent Residents or Long-Term Pass Holders(including holders of Work Pass, Student's Pass, Dependant's Pass, and Long-Term Visit Pass)). If they have been in Hubei Province (China People's Rep.) within the last 14 days, they will be quarantined for 14 days upon entry into Singapore. For others, they will be issued a 14-day Stay-Home-Notice (SHN) upon entry into Singapore.

Interesting that that refers to 'short term' visitors.  Not all wishing to transit would fall into that category.

TransferWise's primary bank is Bangkok Bank,then K-Bank and Thai Military Bank. You must use the correct "Reason for transfer" = "Funds for long term stay in Thailand". Then the bank code will be FTT in the bank book. 

Are you sure about that? Funds transferred between Thai banks are always coded as Domestic Transfers

But wouldn't it appear as a FTT on the 12 month bank statement?

Not if it arrived as a DOMESTIC TRANSFER

Thanks Peter, and obviously, it would show as an International transfer on my Thai bank statement too?.

Not if an intermediary Thai bank is involved it would show as a domestic transfer.

Which embassies have that requirement.

The UK and US embassies do not have that restriction on issuing the letters.

A relative staying with us was refused a letter by the BE because flights to the UK are available.

If flights are available Embassies will not issue letters requesting extensions.

Judging by the information you provide it is unlikely that a further extension will be granted. It is also unlikely that pre-payment for a planned overstay will be accepted.

These tests must be a real money spinner for the health ministry (last i heard they were charging 7,000 baht a pop).

The tests are provided FOC to all Thai citizens - I don't know for certain about foreigners but charging would be counter productive.

surely the OLD passport will not be valid....usually a corner is cut

If an OLD invalid passport contains a valid visa the visa remains valid hence the need to present both old(with a valid visa) and new passports

Not sure what he meant.

You only need to use both passports if you have a valid visa issued by an embassy or consulate in the old passport.

If an extension of stay or a valid re-entry permit issued by immigration is in the new passport it is not needed.

Sorry for being unclear  What I said was that valid VISAS are not transferred to a new passport - if a valid VISA is in an canceled passport then both passports are required to enter the country unless a 30 day visa exempt entry is wanted.
