Waffle The processing times for a standard visitor visa rarely "vary". VfS will advise 15 working days as their standard processing time but a decision is usually made within a couple of weeks. As far as appointments are concerned there is always a premium slot available - and you can walk in if you are prepared to pay for the privilege. For free appointments there is usually something available up to a week ahead.

You seem to have a very narrow view of life.

Exactly. As I told my missus 15 years ago when the price crept over 10,000 Baht......."it won't be long before it is back under 10k!".....

I would amend your name to RETARDius for that racist remark.

That would make a refreshing change.

It's not about you...........................

If the current government was in any way 'progressive' this is the first law they would abandon.

Historically, prohibition has never been a success - anywhere. I really don't get the point of the 2pm to 5pm restriction - nor the ban on alcohol sales near schools. Alcoholics will always have a drink available and even heavy drinkers will usually plan their purchases to ensure they have adequate stock. The restriction only works against the 'normal' person, who has not planned the timing of their purchase, and the spontaneous buyer - that obviously includes tourist visitors. I don't like rules that (IMO) serve no purpose; this one serves no purpose and I certainly don't buy the 'protection of school children' argument.

That was ALL I got out of your post. It is actually Chonburi Immigration.

Jomtien is Pattaya........................

Because they haven't allowed you into their country

I have bought off Nookie for year but I no longer buy cod (from anyone) for the reasons mentioned above. I also found the cod to be chewy and after defrosting and cooking I reckon I lost 50% of the frozen weight. That made it a very expensive meal.

Smart move is always to have it on your phone.

A good career move, and a good time to do it.

You will be told the standard 15 working days but they have been coming in about 10......say, 2 weeks after submitting biometrics.

Obviously! It's a long way to walk back.....

Life and soul pal

Don't take a hammer to crack a nut. I am regarded as wealthy, but in Thailand I will only have bank accounts with up to 5/500k Baht in them. The objective is to avoid Probate (and the relatively high cost of using a lawyer to obtain it). Mechanisms have been put in place to hopefully ensure that my partner can access/transfer any money in the bank. Two motorbikes and three cars are already in her name. The executor is a good friend and won't get one Satang for his efforts.

Yes. Only witnesses cannot be beneficiaries.

There are many other options for those who feel that they have reached that point.

Neither does wearing a mask when you don't have Covid symptoms ..........

St Barts....................is that the pub just down from the Queen Vic? Remember, you were the one who was quick off the mark to call me tight!

100% they will approve it. I have done it several times.

AS @Liverpool Lou has pointed out, the Will is only the piece of paper that gets presented to a local court to obtain Probate. The bank acts on Probate.
