Question for filling up the form - For the Home address, should I write the address in the country where I originally from? Or the address where I’m currently at (e.g. temporary in Vietnam for applying the visa)?
Permanent address = original address from my home town or my Thailand address or Vietnam hotel address???
Hi, I have most of my documents ready for submission, however need some guidance on the statement balance, it is more than 500K however my last bank statement was issued on the 13th and I am still awaiting confirmation from the gym for my course will this be accepted at the London office ? Or how else should I be going about this ? I am a bit worried! Thanks
I went to immigration in Ubon to do my one year extension today , married to thai. I got over two months under consideration. Because 4 weeks under consideration starts on the expiry date of the last extension according to the officer. Is that normal practice?
I’m moving to Thailand to continue my Muay Thai career. I train out of Manop in Chiang Mai (I have trained there previously). I am certain that gym has all of the correct certifications to enable visa sponsorship. However, sponsorship is not advertised and Kru Manop takes cash payment on arrival rather than requiring booking.
After learning more about what is required, I am a little reluctant to trouble kru Manop for all the required documents, though when I asked for his help I offered to pay a fee. Would it be better to simply spend a month at a gym that already understands the visa requirements, even if it’ll cost me more, for the convenience before going to my preferred camp?
Hello everyone, I know this question has been asked plenty of times but my situation doesn’t quite align with the similar ones found in search. I am applying in Ho Chi Minh as a remote worker. The question is the place of issue for the passport, my mexican passport issued in Shanghai has a remark about issuing state code as MEX and just a remark in the right bottom as SHANGHAI. Is it correct to select Shanghai as place of issue even if on the passport there are no exact remarks for this as “place of issue”? Thanks so much in advance
I am coming to Thailand in April and I am told that when I go through passport control, I will be asked about the date of return. I wont be able to tell them as I am intending to retire in Thailand with my Thai wife. Am I likely to have problems with passport control. I have a copy of my marriage certificate
