    I have lived in Thailand since 2008 and have returned many times on a new visa, which in recent years has been an e-visa.

    If you have a UK passport that can be used for your first point. The question wording is open to interpretation, probably due to trying to deal with non UK nationals. Indication from other counries would imply that they are looking for proof of legal residence rather than a specific residence.

    I have used funds in my Thai account to get the visa without a problem.

    I have only ever provided the flight number going into BKK and never been asked for proof of the flight but it would be prudent to have made the booking.

    The instructions say all documents should be in English but not the marriage certificate, that needs to be a copy of original.

    You will be asked about invitation, if you have not already addressed that the easiest solution is to get your wife to write a note saying she expects you to return on a certain date, note can be in Thai. She can then take a photo and send it to you and you can upload that. You need to upload a response to every question otherwise you cannot move on. If i remember right Q4 and Q10 are both financially related but you need only answer to one and upload a note for the other as a cross reference.

    Good luck.

    when i applied for mine back in August the invite letter was not required, there was nowhere to upload it either

    Selfish much? for someone who's here for a few days or even a week cutting away 1-2 days of their vacation due to a religious holiday for a religion they don't practice nor care about IS awful

     

    Yes, but in practice what happens is a bit different and differs between provinces. Pattaya yesterday some venues were open until midnight, some clubs completely closed, and a few clubs open until 2:45am. Tonight they all open around 11pm-midnight. Bangkok everything was closed after midnight yesterday, clubs mostly all closed, and will open tonight after midnight.

    "cut short their vacation"     due to one day without alcohol ???   Are you serious?:cheesy:

    On more than one occasion I've heard tourists voice their frustration when they realized their vacation has been cut short a day. It makes absolutely no sense. Should at least allow tourist-oriented venues to serve.

    Must be awful, a holiday ruined, Boo Hoo

    As an aside I cannot imagine their would be a peep out of the pot heads if cannabis was included. Could this be something to do with how the two substances affect one after long term use? 

    The alcoholics seem only to need to see words like "dry day "  "no alcohol sales" and they fall to pieces, their brains so pickled the simple method of stocking up eludes them, every single time and its always the same people

    The only country I know which did that was Wales.

    Good friday was  a dry day as I remember in England and other religious days Christmas Day, Easter Monday and Sunday had restricted hours as did every Sunday

    Certain counties in Wales used to keep the pubs closed on Sundays, Working mens / miners clubs could open

    They had local referendums on this every 5 years I think
