In Topic: Can I Still Buy A Condo If The Source Of Funds Occurred Sometime In The Past?

Well, I had a chat with someone at the Chiang Mai Land Office about my situation, and his response was that, as long as the price paid for the condo is less than the total amount of funds transferred into Thailand, he would approve the condo registration request.  So I intend to go there, meet the guy, show him my three FETF's, and confirm what he says before entering into any condo purchase contract.  So, this is a hopeful new development.

However, I'm still not sure about the possibility of encountering a problem in the future, if and when I decide to sell the condo, and choose to move the funds back out of Thailand.  I believe I would still need to use my existing FETF's to prove the original source of the funds, but because none of them indicate plans to buy a condo, would the local bank disallow my request for the outbound transfer?  Or would the same situation as above apply, in which they would allow the outbound transfer as long as it were less than the sum total of the three FETF's?  Any feedback would be appreciated!

The original FETF's are retained by the Land Office and stay with the Chanote paperwork.  All you get back from the Land Office is a Copy signed by them

many thanks fo you!
its only one place in Pattaya to look auto curtains?

Not really a high interest tourist item

If you do find a shop that has them insure that they have a VAT Refund for Tourists sign since you must have a particular form to submit for the VAT back scheme

Hope that they are small enough for you the carry in your hand luggage since my experience has been that I have had to show the items at the VAT refund desk at the airport to get the VAT refund

In Topic: Getting A Retirement Visa In Canada - Authentication Of Documents?

This is a common problem since Thai Embassies and Consulates are much like Immigration Offices,  some adhere strickly to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs dictum that all documents be notorized and others don't:

Quote

- A letter of verification issued from the country of his or her nationality or residence stating that the applicant has no criminal record (verification shall be valid for not more than three months and should be notarised by notary organs or the applicant’s diplomatic or consular mission).
- A medical certificate issued from the country where the application is submitted, showing no prohibitive diseases as indicated in the Ministerial Regulation No.14 (B.E. 2535) (certificate shall be valid for not more than three months and should be notarised by notary organs or the applicant’s diplomatic or consular mission).
- In the case where the accompanying spouse is not eligible to apply for  the Category ‘O-A’ (Long Stay) visa, he or she will be considered for temporary stay under Category ‘O’ visa.  A marriage certificate must be provided as evidence and should be notarised by notary organs or by the applicant’s diplomatic or consular mission.

For instance, in the US, The Thai Embassy in Washington and the Consulate in New York do not require the notorization but the Consulate in Los Angeles and Chicago do
