Usa Ira Retirement Accounts

2011-10-04 14:18:03

Pardon if this has been covered.

I am dissatisfied with my long time IRA bank, Wells Fargo, they just added a $100 per trade fee. So I am looking elsewhere. I am a Bangkok domicile. I've been told Firstrade is pretty good, but I see they charge $30 per wire which is not so good for regular draws. Also they don't allow beneficiary assignments from abroad (more Patriot Act paranoia, I assume). Has anyone taken a comparative look at the various US brokerage houses for this purpose?

Thanks much for any info or referrals.

Peculiar Absebse Of Correct Or Useful Information

2010-11-01 07:36:58

As an experienced user of this site and longtime non-immigrant resident of Thailand I notice, on searching this site, an odd absense of useful information for anyone needing to do business with the Immigration Bureau. For example, immigration forms are very difficult to find here and available in useless format, the old Suan Plu immigration office is still listed as active, there are little or no references to the location of the new Chaengwaana office, etc.

Can anyone speculated why a site that is so rich in advertisments for baldness and potency meds and expensive immigration services would not want to provide such essential material?

Creditor Levees On Thai Bank Accounts

2010-08-17 09:01:11

I left a credit dispute unattended in the US and to my horror the creditor got a court judgments without my knowledge which allowed them to simply debit my US bank account for the full amount of their claim plus expenses. A big shock to a guy who always paid his bills on time. Is this practice as easily applied to Thai bank accounts? Any experience on this appreciated.

Property Right-Of-Way

2010-07-23 12:39:05

My gf purchased some country property that contains part of a old paved road built by local government and used fairly regularly by locals as a convenience.. The road is shown on land titles, but the part that is on her property is not shown on the titles, as shown on the illustration below. She wants to close the road on her property. "It's my property," she says, "and it doesn't lead to any land-locked property, so it's not necessary for anyone."

I say that either or both the local government or the locals have probably acquired the right to pass over the years and you'll just lose face by having someone order you to open it again.

What do you think is a. fair; b. legal?

Thanks for any ideas.
