Sorry I forgot I did have to get my passport copy certified at Australia Embassy first. I did it one trip and then divorce the next trip 3 months later
I got divorced in Pattaya, never needed to have a certified passport. Copy of passport and her Thai ID plus copy of marriage certificate was all that was needed
Edit: I went through Siam Legal who prepared everything
OP, what about Grand Avenue on soi 15, only 50 metres behind the Avenue shopping centre?
No sea views but 50 metres to supermarket and Pharmacy and 150 meters to Pattaya hospital on soi bukhao. Baht bus route on 2nd road and soi bukhao close by, beach only a block away
I normally book 3-4 days out and always had a response within an hour saying they'll confirm driver day before. Since you're already within 24 hours she probably has to confirm driver first so missed first email response
If you're worried email again saying you are worried.
No argument, IO's have discretion depending how much agent bribes them to overlook financial rules to get your Non-imm O visa and/or 12 month extension
What are you arguing, agent transferring 800k into bank account for 1 minute to get visa is legit? It's fraud and should be picked up on extension as not being in bank for 2 months as required by law
I call BS, 3 of my friends used an agent and no money was transferred to their account. Bangkok Bank did issue a letter saying 800k baht in bank for 3 months though so immigration stamped as they met financial requirements
It does effect what I do. Because of agents using fake money to get visa they introduced rules that require 800k in bank for 2 months prior to application + 3 months after. But only people not using an agent have to do this
Well the sooner banned the better. 800k used to be retirement money to live on at 65k per month, now you can't touch any of the 800k for 5 months of the year and can't drop below 400k the other 7 months. All to prevent people having fake money in bank, go figure as agents carry on
You're referring to 12 month extension, I'm referring to initial non-imm O + 12 month extension that requires 800k in bank for 2 months
I have no idea what's required for just 12 month extension
There is no address on the passport? Not sure if they need address but they ask for 2nd photo ID, so I assumed they wanted both sides of licence.
They send an email with reference number when they pre-approve. They ask you to add reference number to top of application form and to back of money order
But immigration law requires 800k in bank for 2 months prior to issue of 12 month extension to non-imm O, how do they do that if agent transfer in and out 800k same day...fake Bangkok Bank letter fixes that anomaly
I have 3 friends that use an agent and all 3 said they received a bank letter in Thai saying they had 800k in bank for 3 months, when they didn't so I'm pretty sure what agents do
Time people realised the agent doesn't deposit 800k in bank and then draw it out anymore. Bangkok Bank takes a bribe to issue a false letter stating 800k in bank for 3 months. So not immigration fraud, but bank fraud
