  1. That doesn't work. Only one file can be uploaded. They want 3 months worth of bank statements so each month is a separate file. How do you submit 3 months worth of statements?
  2. What does this mean exactly "Financial evidence: an amount of no less than 20,000 THB (e.g., bank statements for the last three months,". Does that mean if there is any period where the balance is less than £500 the application will be refused. I run two accounts. At times either one of them is likely to be less than £500 for a period of time depending if I get hit with any large bills. The two together should balance out the other. The monthly deposits well exceed 20,000 baht. Wouldn't we all like accounts where money went in but never out with bills to pay. Also I can only add one travel itinerary. So my flight in and out are likely to be on Eva 90 days apart. Now I may apply for a 30 day extension but I was expecting to do some other side trips but going to leave that until I arrived. I can book a cheap flight out for the 60th day to keep Immigration happy then take a photo of the two bookings side by side for submission. I hope that satisfies Immigration.
  3. Yes I recognise that page now. I wonder why the UK Embassy site doesn't direct you to this one. I should be ok now, thanks.
  4. A few weeks ago I started a thread about whether to get a multi entry visa or go visa exempt. I went as far as starting a visa application on the Royal Thai Embassy London website and saved what I started as I didn't have all the data I needed. I am trying to retrieve the started application but I am damned if I can see where I retrieve the application or even start a new one. So on the Embassy web site I select Visa - Visa info - E Visa - Single Multiple entry But where do I retrieve the saved application or start a new application. What am I missing?
  5. What 17 year old has access to his passport? Some great parenting there. Not as if he needed it for age verification to go to the pub.
  6. I can only think of one answer, how long are you permitted to stay? A bit of a dumb question to a UK passport holder though.
  7. It seems some Immigration Officers get off on throwing their weight about. For some reason some UK Immigration officers like to ask UK passport holders how long the intend to stay in the UK. I can only assume it is to provoke some sort of response and start an argument.
  8. Who remembers Sandra Gregory? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandra_Gregory
  9. I am more concerned that any parent would allow a 17 year old to travel to Thailand unaccompanied by a responsible parent.
  10. I will include Scotland and Wales. This is off the top of my Head. Oil, gas, coal, iron ore (low grade), China Clay, Tin, Lithium, Potash, Polyhalite, Chalk and Limestone (for cement), foundry sand.
  11. Having first accidentally picked up the motor and accidentally targeted Thailand then accidentally dropping the mortar down the mortar tube.
  12. Finally Europe gets it. I took long enough. Let's hope it is not too late for Europe to do its own thing.
  13. So a company commits fraud and you can't name them?
  14. One more in the whole of 2026? That doesn't sound good.
  15. Why not name and shame A.
  16. Cambodia or the UK. The UK has North Sea oil. So does Norway. Trump could grab Norway and the UK at the same time.
  17. You would have thought in the 1930s when Thailand (Siam) tried to sort this out that given the small amount of land involved and since there was a clear **** up by the French surveyors that the French would have just said you know what you can have it. But even now after a Bexit deal not in the UK's favour the French are still whining about access to fishing in UK territorial waters. Oh and they get paid half a billion pounds a year to do **** all about stopping Channel migrants. Look what a mess they made of Vietnam.
  18. In 1907 were they aware that the border was drawn up in correctly by the French. The border defined in the text is quite explicit. How does Cambodia claim the the coastal strip on the Gulf is theirs?
  19. Russia Ukraine, US Greenland. Seems to work for Russia and the US.
  20. yea ok got it. Since I only intend to travel for a maximum of 90 days that should cover it. If on a multi entry visa and leaving Thailand with the intention of returning is there a process to follow?
  21. Is the multi entry tourist visa 60 days or can you get longer? And do I take it the 60 days starts once you arrive. So say you stay 20 days then leave for 10 days then return then you have 30 days left not 40 days left?
  22. I did point out that I had a big problem last February returning from Cambodia. Quite an intense interrogation. Pulled up records from the previous visa exempt entry, accused me of having a family in Thailand, I don't. I was given quite a rough time. just want to avoid that. And I really don't get the necessity to carry 20,000 baht is cash. Have Thailand never heart of credit cards and bank cards?
  23. What I am planning is a 90 day trip mainly in Thailand. May be 2 or 3 side trips. Never been to Hong Kong and always meant to go there and Kuala Lumpur. May be tag on Taiwan to the Honk Kong trip. It is the number of visa exempt entries that bothers me as I would like another trip to Thailand later in the year. If the limit on 2 visa exempts per year is carried out then I will blow that on the first trip alone. Whilst it is all very well saying it is pie in the sky threats from Immigration I did a side trip to Cambodia from Thailand 10 months ago and very nearly didn't get back into Thailand. I don't want to risk that again.
  24. Might have to get any out of Thailand trips done in the first 60 days then return within 60 days and get an extension or arrive visa exempt for another 30 days before the flight home. My 90 day limit is due to travel insurance. Actually limited to 91 or 92 days, can't remember which, per trip.
