Macron Wants to Run Europe’s Foreign Policy. Not Everyone Agrees
fvw53 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Remember Neville Chamberlain a peace loving UK prime minister who wanted peace at all costs. QUOTE As Prime Minister, Chamberlain is remembered for his support for the policy of appeasement towards Adolf Hitler over the annexation of Czechoslovakia and the signing Munich Agreement on 29 September 1938. Returning from Munich, Chamberlain delivered his "Peace with Honour - Peace for Our Time" speech. Less than a year after Chamberlain delivered this speech Britain had entered the war following the invasion of Poland by German forces. UNQUOTE https://www.parliament.uk/ -

I thought I would find a reply to this question in the Search of this Forum but nothing pops up. Can a Forum member provide a list of required documents to submit to Immigration to obtain one year extension of my retirement visa (it can be in Thai language as my TF will help and it can also be a link to another source)

My yearly extension has to be done before end of February. However end of this month I need return to my home country for a serious surgical intervention which may require several follow up visits ...so that I may not be able to report on time at Immigration for a new one year extension. Will Immigration except if I come late or will I need to do all the paperwork for a new retiree visa at the Thai Embassy in my home country?

Because I am old my hearing is getting problematic when I visit hospitals where the doctors still use masks and are sitting behind plastic screens. I ordered a simple hearing aid from Lazada / just enough to increase to hearing volume / but even the smallest of the three supplied options was too large to fit into my ear (it hurt me) because my ear canal is narrow. I still do not need the sophisticated and very expensive hearing aids available on the market. Can a Forum member - having my problem - recommend a simple hearing aid for narrow ear canals?

I want to buy a simple smart watch to monitor constantly my blood pressure and pulse rate. Bluetooth link with an app to my Samsung smartphone is welcome but not essential. Searching at Lazada or Shopee it looks as if I can only buy watches which are like mini smartphones : too many functions I do not want. Can some Forum members let me know what they recommend?

I am 79, married to a Thai wife, retired with Non Immigrant O visa and 800,000 THB blocked in SCB Bank which is verified by the local Immigration Officer. From time to time we transfer money to Thailand to cover our living expenses here. Now the tax authorities of my own country (EU member state) want me for the year 2020 to obtain a "no income declaration" (otherwise declare any income made in Thailand). Some people say I need to apply for a TIN (Taxpayer Identification Number) but I had never any contact with the local Tax Authorities : they have no data about me. I never made any money in Thailand : I am too old to work and as a retiree I would not obtain a work permit. Did any of the Forum members have to face a similar situation and how did it work out for them?
