Re: E-File US Tax Forms

I forgot to mention, I used regular post in Udon and although I have not had any problem with item arriving at the destination, it is hit or miss as to how long it takes. I experienced letters arriving anywhere form 7 to 10 days, which is too long for this document.

I went to the site started to sigh-in and when I reached the requested phone number it stated the number must be in the US so a no go there...

Re: Online Banking

I saw this on the Bangkok Bank site, has anyone used this for transferring funds from a US bank to an account here in Thailand? I recall reading a while back that funds from the US can no longer be transferred to Thailand using a Swift Code. That was a concern when using direct deposit for SS from t...

Re: Monthly Income Bank Statement for Extension

The only difference between a retirement extension (apart from the amount required) and a marriage extension, is that for a marriage extension you can use income from Thailand (with proof of Thai tax payed) as well as income from overseas. There is no requirement that the overseas income is from an...

Re: 12 Month Bank Statements for Visa Extension

LoneTraveler, can't you just order you 12 month statement 4 or 5 days before you return to Udon and pick up a BB the same day you do the deposit and get the letter? After thinking about it and reading your post, I decided to order the statements 1 day before I go to Bangkok but still go to the main...

Visa to Mastercard

Hi I was doing some research on the best bank and ATM card for my daughter to have a savings account. I looked at the top 5 banks in Thailand and I noticed they all have the "Mastercard logo" on their individual ATM cards. Does anyone know when this happened and why? I have not checked out any ATM c...
