Visa done, in my passport. Passport back with me now. Headache gone until next year. Took just under 2 weeks from going to the bank with them and giving them my passport and getting passport returned to me. Positives, DONT need 800000 baht sitting in a thai bank depreciating in value. (I already bring in over 800000 baht every year from my pension/super) DONT have to fill in multitudes of paperwork saying the same things. DONT have to go running to the bank paying them money to print out more pieces of paper or to give me some stupid letter saying I have xxxxbaht. DONT have to go sit in CW for another day and beat my head against a brick wall. Negatives. Cost me xxxxxbaht. Happy days ????

That's rather funny Joe. Mine was legalized in australia but thai consular services said it was out of date (ahhhh yeah, right). You can't just walk in and get it certified. If I make an appointment today with australian embassy, the next available appointment is on 26 October. And then if and when that's done, you have to make an appointment with thai consular services for their legalization. I then have to go along to the local district registration office for a KOR22 (no idea). And then I can go back to CW. Yeah, it's not really that hard to do ????
