Previous passports
BLACKJACK2 replied to Goodboybkk's topic in Visas and migration to other countries
Think you need to expand on your situation a bit more, I've never been asked for previous passports, they go in the bin. -
I wouldn't bother with an agent, my wife recently got a visa and we thought the agent route would be the best option but after getting nowhere for 10 days we dumped them and did it ourselves, very easy and painless. I live in the UK and she lives in Thailand so with you already retired there that has to be a bonus. Best of luck ????

Simple Scanner app on my phone, scan passport photo and save as jpeg. Tried to do it on my scanner and laptop but couldn't get it small enough without losing quality.

Kanchanabury, the "Tourist Mile" these days?
BLACKJACK2 replied to swissie's topic in Central Thailand
Nothings really changed, you can still get good cheap accommodation, a meal and a beer. -
The criteria for the visas are more complicated but the system works OK, applied Friday, confirmation Monday. Don't like how you just get a piece of paper now instead of an actual visa in your passport.

The first and third question I just uploaded my passport page again, not sure about the second as I used my wife's ID. Can't see why you couldn't use a photo off your phone, I had a passport photo which I scanned with my phone and uploaded. Applied Friday and got confirmation yesterday. Didn't realise you just get a piece of paper now instead of a visa in your passport ????.

I can't believe it's been so complicated for you. I have a 2yr car licence which is up for renewal, have things changed so much in the last 2yrs. Normally it's a trip to Saiyok city hall with the wife's house book to get a letter then to kanchanaburi to renew, in and out usually within 1½hrs with my new licence in my hand.

Too late now ????

Travel insurance warning after Welshman's motorbike crash
BLACKJACK2 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
She keeps going on about the "fine print", the 31 day cover isn't in the fine print it's a standard duration which he will have clicked on, probably thought he was getting it cheaper. Hope the lad recovers but can't believe people have paid up £20,000 for him. -
Any recommendations for health insurance for a Thai travelling to the UK for 6 weeks holiday. Thanks.

Vfs Global Appointment timing!
BLACKJACK2 replied to danny42's topic in Visas and migration to other countries
I would go at the normal time, 15 minutes before the appointment. We paid for the scanning assistance and my wife said they were really helpful, no problems. -
I have a 2yr car licence that will be up for renewal in February, can I renew it entering visa exempt or will I need to get a tourist visa, thanks.
-
Literally seconds ago VFS have emailed me, hopefully successful ????.
-
Do they tell you if you've been successful or do you have to wait until you pick your passport up.

No
