not sure how your “joke” is either helpful or relevant… we don’t know this person or whether or not they’ve visited with each other elsewhere.. maybe they want to be able to come to their family’s HOMELAND and not always have to make extra arrangements.

I’m not seeing where it said the son’s age 🤔

I don’t think it’s a huge deal.. right now you’ll (mostly likely) be here on visa exempt for 60 days (depending on your passport/what country you’re coming from). At any point, you can leave Thailand and when you re-enter, your new visa will then be active, at that point, your 180 days will start.

At least it was only 800. Mine was 1600 😅

For me, I made a pdf document that included multiple screenshots of years worth of leases with both of our names and that explained our situation. As well as a few utility bills (like phone bill, rental insurance, etc.) that listed both of our names. Needed this for “proof of marriage” for our children’s visas and it ended up working for us

@Johnny ******

it’s a music festival.. it’ll be here in Pattaya at the end of the month

gotcha!! Good luck! Trusting it will all work out for you! 🙏🏾🙏🏾

If you do have to go home, You can actually get an expedited passport same day if you show them your travel arrangements & schedule an appointment at an official passport agency, rather than applying through a library or post office! I did this for both me and my son. Had an appointment at 8 am, our passports were ready by 1pm! So worst case scenario, you could possibly travel back, not have to wait months, and be back in time for your holiday plans! Let me know if you want me to send you more info!

@Davion *****

thank you! Was it the embassy in LA where you applied?

@Davion *****

I’m interested in doing this as I work for myself as well. When it came to bank statements or invoices, what did you have to provide? Recent statements from last 30 days? 60 days?
