  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.
  13. But it's worth waiting 1 more day because it's the best way to show funds are coming from abroad, I've just done it for my extension based on marriage to a Thai & the Immigration were satisfied. When I first came to live in Pattaya it took 3,4, & sometimes 5 days to transfer from my HSBC Bank in the UK. So to me waiting 1 day instead of receiving funds in minutes, is a minor detail.
  14. Your old passport is cancelled and the corner clipped as soon as your application for a new passport is accepted, not when you receive your new one. Your old one can then only be used for ID purposes
  15. When using bank transfer method on Wise, If you use funds for long term stay in Thailand it shows on your Thai bank statement as FTT ( Foreign Tellex Transfer )
  16. I agree 100% I have lived here in Pattaya 13 yrs. & now living in Buriram for 1 yr. I have been married at the Amphur ( Legal Marriage ) 3 times & divorced twice, wives ages 39, 40, & 44, always refused to pay Sin Sot, they had all been married before to Thai men who paid sin Sot. I always said not paying for second hand wife ha,ha,ha, and I am not a " Cheap Charlie" it's just the principle of buying a wife that I don't agree with.
  17. My wife took my Father-In-Law and me to Buriram Football Stadium on Tuesday the 20th July 2021, we both had the Sinovac vaccine injection and were told no other choice, but our second vaccination would be AZ and given 3 weeks later on the 10thAugust 2021
  18. Sorry Moonlover, what you wrote was happening a few weeks ago, but not now. I am 73 & from the UK but now married & living in Buriram. I went with my wife,& Father-Law to the Buriram Football Stadium on Tuesday 20/07/21 expecting the AZ jab, but was told that I had to have Sinovac first & then the AZ on the 10/08/21 given no choice except have Sinovac or go home.
