thats what i gave them. stupid face included. -Skenners

I'm an NZ citizen with tax residence in Australia. My perm residence is Australia. They didn't ask me for more than what I gave over. More to that, because I lived in Aus before NZ visa rules came in, I don't have a fixed visa in my passport, so they wouldn't know my visa status as they didn't...

Im gonna go with No on that. the guy i got was big on me filling out EVERY field, regardless, and every mistake had to have me write my signature next to it. Like you guys said, i dont think it was crc due to no tax questions other than residency stuff and basic financials. -Skenners

ahh crap, i knew there was something I needed to do in regards to other currencies. Ill try and look it up, but from what I could see on the papers I was given, it was just a standard bank account in THB. Ill try and open a true money account later today or tomorrow when I get a chance as I...

Alrighty! I went into Bangkok Bank in Sathorn on Thursday to get my bank account setup. Requirements were: - Passport with a valid Elite Visa - Elite Membership Certified letter as attached - Thai contact no. - Thai Address - Certified letter from Thailand Elite (will be sent to you within...

off to bangkok bank on thursday to open an account. -Skenners

ok, finally got around to getting my PE visa in my passport, essentially it took an hour of waiting around at the immigration office, but the thailand elite agent was great in helping out and doing everything. just had to give a print out of my tm30 screenshot from the site (mine was given to me...

on it! -Skenners

havent got that far. ill discuss it over the next couple of months. gotta get my visa first! -Skenners

No worries! I got the welcome email pack, so im definitely thairand ereet. next step is to get the visa as it isnt automatically given, you have to book it in to get it on your passport which should be the last of the hoop jumping. -Skenners

OK, It took forever to get the transfer over into their accounts and for them to acknowledge that they received it. It also took me two phone calls to confirm the transfers. SO, on the 8th, I sent through the money, so it would have referred to the 9th as the transfer date (thursday). By...

Well, So much for 4 weeks: "Dear Mr. Skenners Warm Greetings from Thailand Privilege Card Co., Ltd. We would like to inform you that we have acquired an approval letter from the Thai Immigration Office as attached herewith Thailand Privilege Card Co., Ltd. banking information." and from the...

Shot Siam Legal an email about the status. Apparently it takes 4 weeks to do a background check for the visa, so ill just keep waiting until I crack the shits and cancel it and spend the money on hookers and blackjack. -Skenners

Well, pretty straightforward so far. They asked for some details, they answered my questions and now Im waiting on them to get back to me. I havent paid a cent yet, so essentially I can back out still, but meh, its fine so far. A little more communication would be better but they did mention it...

Travelled through the middle and it was pretty but largely the same. Lived in CM for a couple of years near Nimman area. Just rode around on my scooter, eating western foods and gaining weight. Almost got into a fist fight with a DN there over a joke on a facebook group. Yeah, they're that kind...

Passed through it on the train on my way down to Kuala Lumpur a couple of times. Never really stayed. This was 10 years ago and it was a bit rougher back then, a few bombings in public places and it was pretty dangerous down near the border. I hear its really nice now and that its becoming...

Still waiting on Siam Legal to get back to me on my application. Been about 8 days, so im not expecting anything until either the end of this week or start of next week. Never got a massage just out of laziness, pretty much. Its on my list, but I never get round to doing it. I've heard that if...

Oi, Im no s*xpat. I havent even had a damn massage after living here for multiple years! I just enjoy the peoples outlook on things and the fact that I can live on half my wages and still live better than I did in Australia. Every Digital Gonad I've ever met in Chiang Mai have been mostly...

FCZO is no good for crypto? Is it from banks or from the government side of things though? I was going to trade in it eventually and was going to just use an FCZO company. -Skenners

Here we go!! -Skenners
