  1. You need to put the names of the two references (people you know or once knew in the UK) on the application for the affirmation. Nobody will attempt to contact these people. This is not the same as the two witnesses you need at the Amphur when you eventually get married.
  2. 300 Baht? Must be a pretty fancy place.
  3. Good review thanks. Serves as both a recommendation and a warning. For me the latter.
  4. 1000 = 40.3465 1100 = 40.3465 1200 = 40.3465 1300 = 40.0769 I know they are live but it's the jump at 1300 that interested me. Doesn't occur on the Wise rate.
  5. It's interesting that the XE rate changes (negatively) if you go over £1300. Almost as if it's a deliberate hook, surely not?
  6. Quite so, but they do exist, I am doubtful telling them you are "waiting for a consular official" will cut it, at certainly if they see you are a Brit.
  7. I think the £100 version is a short term one hit visa;
  8. It was 140/day long term, 250/day short term. To me never worth the hassle of long term for anything up to a month.
  9. Could be because it's just before a holiday period, Songkran. Google flights shows cheaper flights both before and after your date;
  10. I use the app, why not give it a try? As an added advantage you then never have the misfortune to stumble across advertising featuring those two goons Ant & Dic.
  11. In case your visa application fails for any reason you can still enter visa exempt (45 days) and easily get a 30 day extension in country. The only issue you need to address is an onward flight within 45 days which the airline might want to see at check-in.
  12. You mean she should have planned to lose her passport a bit earlier?
  13. Not required, only your Thai licence is needed.
  14. Guess you mean extension not visa. As many as you like, provided you buy a multiple re-entry permit.
  15. Correct. She would only need to meet the financial requirement on the day she converts to the initial 90 day non-O, i.e. THB 800K in a Thai account in her name, that does not need to be seasoned. Seasoning is only required later when applying for the annual extension of stay. I don't know how/if it works if trying to go the monthly income route, hopefully others will update on that.
  16. You convert to a non-O, not a non-OA. That is why no insurance is required.
  17. That's data roaming. That is not needed to receive SMS's. They cost nothing to receive.
  18. Hotels., done similar many times. No issues with anybody.
  19. You need to buy an "Extrapack" for roaming data on the app. Go to ExtraPack, choose "roaming", select "England" then choose the data pack you want.
  20. "On Transfer Purpose: Select “Funds for long term stay in Thailand” or “Purchase of Property” https://wise.com/help/articles/2932335/guide-to-thb-transfers
  21. As luck would have it this prestigious event coincides with my first ever tourism visit to the fine city of Patong, or for that matter Phuket. I am hoping this is not going to ruin my holiday.
