  1. You can renew a Thai driving License up to 6 Months if it has expired.
  2. I never said a Pattaya Agent, I said an Agent in Bangkok who actually has done 2 marriages for me. So, if you cannot give constructive advise to the Op, then I suggest you keep quiet.
  3. Hi GregKeo, Ring this Lady, she is an Agent in Bangkok, she has helped me with the documentation to get Married in Thailand. Her name is Pui, phone number 0878128544, tell her Lewis from Pattaya has given you her phone number.
  4. Wise to my Bangkok bank using Long term stay in Thailand if the transfer is done before 9-00an then it goes into my Bangkok Bank 2 or3 minutes after 2-00pm the same day, doing the transfer later say around 9-30am to 10-00 am or even later, then it will go into my Bank just after 2-00pm the next day.
  5. Hi, I live in Buriram, and I use Wise to transfer money from my UK Bank Acc to my Bangkok Bank in Buriram to get my Annual extension of stay based on Marriage to a Thai Lady. showing Monthly income of 40,000 Baht or more, not the 400,000 Baht in Bank method. The Immigration Officer told me to tell Wise my funds were for Long term stay in Thailand which puts the code FTT then they know it's a foreign transaction and I get notarized copies of my Bangkok Banks statements which says International Transfer. It usually takes the Immigration Officer about 20 minutes to check my statements, then in a back room they put a 30 day consideration stamp. For your first one in Buriram based on Marriage you submit photos showing you and your wife together in several photos in the house and at least one showing you, your wife & the address, then they will arrange a time and day to make a visit to the home where you live. Please note:- In Chonburi ( Pattaya ) they visit your home every year, but in Buriram they only come to visit your home for the first one.
  6. as I've already said Farang is what Thais call Foreigners, and it means ANYBODY not born in Thailand irrespective of their colour or the Country where they were born.I am not a newbie, I have lived in Thailnd 15 years next February.
  7. you are wrong, the word Farang means Foreigner, so anybody not born in Thailand is a Farang, ie;-Foreigner.
  8. Chinese are Farang, only people born in Thailand are not Farang
  9. Yes, I believe also some banks in Pattaya are refusing to open accounts unless you have a Non immigrant '' O'' Visa in your passport.
  10. I opened a bank account in Pattaya when on a 30 day Visa On Arrival 16 years ago no problems at all, in and out in 15 minutes. But I think now you need a Residence Certificate from the Immigration Office to open an Account with most banks.
  11. yes I had 9 Months left on my passport, which they added to my new one, making it 10 yrs. & 9 Months
  12. I don't know about renewing an Australian passport, but when I gave them my new UK passport application, they clipped the corner off and gave it back to me with the specific instructions that the old passport was cancelled and could only be used for ID purposes, and they said cannot leave the Country with my old passport.
