Hallo Sunny,
habe Dir jetzt ne PN geschickt mit den wichtigsten Informationen und Links zu unseren Partnern in Thailand.
Das gute an den Seecontainern ist ja gerade, dass die eine Weile auf See sind, und so relativ viel Zeit zum Handeln besteht!
Anbei nochmal für diejenigen, die es interessiert die Zollbestimmungen für die Einfuhr von Umzugsgut nach Thailand - richtig teuer wird es nur bei der Einfuhr von Autos, Motorrädern und Alkohol.
Ist zwar auf englisch, aber das können ja die meisten.
PREPARING FOR YOUR MOVE DOCUMENTS REQUIRED FOR IMPORTING HOUSEHOLD GOODS TO THAILAND
PASSPORT
All travelers are required to submit their original passport to Asian Tigers to enable th
eprocessing of the shipment for clearance.
VISA & WORK PERMIT
The consular office of your host country’s embassy is the best place to start when determining what types of documents, including visas, permits and registration requirement, you’ll need to relocate. Consulates can often provide information and advice on many other aspects of your move as well.
ii) PASSPORT
A valid passport and appropriate visa are required for all persons entering Thailand. If one enters the country without a visa, extensions of stay cannot be granted
Each member of a family should have his/her own passport; if a child is included on a parent’s passport, the parent cannot leave Thailand without the child. If only one parent leaves with children), written permission from the other parent is required.
Visas
Visas are issued according to the stated purpose of the visit. Non – immigrant visas are valid for 90 days for purposes other than tourism, and applicants must submit documentation showing the purposes of the stay. For stays longer than 90 days or for extensions, approval must be obtained in advance from the Thai Immigration Services.
Visas are issued by the nearest consulate, and only cash or money order is accepted as payment for the fee. Application may be made by mail or in person.
iii) WORK PERMITS
Work permits are issued by the Labor Department in Bangkok, normally for the duration of the visa. Work permits are usually obtained by the individual’s company. One cannot own or register a vehicle, receive a salary, or begin employment until the work permit is obtained.
