Thanks ubonjoe, makes it much easier if people can do the whole thing by internet and post. No need to physically turn up at the Thai Embassy in London.
Can people imagine how absurd it would be, if people in say, Cornwall, they're being forced to turn up at a consulate or turn up at the Embassy in London ???

to drop it all off/show it.

then again to pick up the 'evisa' a day or 2 later....

its so retarded it wouldnt surprise me at all if it actually as the case...

ill report back as & when.

i wont dispute its the requirement now, since this online 'evisa' was introduced this April?

but in November it wasnt required in london,  nor in June in korat it wasnt required, UNLESS a 1 year extension was required. which it wasnt for single entry Non-O (family, not marriage)

e2a - im under 50, though i dont see this as relevent to my visa application.

The online application is not the same as shown on the embassy website. I think they want proof of the 20k baht for every application.

Did register as being a UK citizen and having a UK passport. You could upload a copy if its photo page to make the system happy.

great minds eh!

also noted the thai phone number box deletes the last digit upon saving as it spreads the digits into 'more easily readable?' 3 digit groups

Any idea what 'proof of sponsorship' would consist of?

someone elses bank statement with an accompanying letter?

Just attach a bank statement showing any amount in the bank. Perhaps the equivalent of 20k baht at the least to meet that standard requirement to apply for any visa.

 

Not needed if you are using a UK passport.

It is only for those who need it to prove they have permanent residency in the UK,

bless you joe, i was sitting with my espresso waiting for you to reply!!

so the fact that financial evidence is not a requirement for my visa is irrelevant now? or the requirements have been amended?

i agree the res permit is not needed, as above wrt financial evidence. but the website disagrees.

has anybody actually done a non o since the "e-visa" process was implemented?

it wont let me submit the application without 2 'unnecessary' documents,,,

financial evidence & residence permit...

i appreciate i can upload a bank statement but its 'not a formal' requirement for non o (family)

but the residence permit has me stumped.

having difficulty uploading documents.

bank statement which has/is not required for non o (for family, not marriage)

im hoping i wont have to do it but if its neccesary im curious if anyones driven across and what time the border opens vs what time passenger vehicles are permitted to cross.

the queue of big trucks is often over a km long.

any updates regarding these border hoppers arriving en masse?

heading there next week if korat immi are as 'helpful' as c.w. immi

presumably not sweet enough for the hfcs fiends

bit old now but the 'proof of address' CAN be gleaned/used from your last visa stamp, assuming its an actual visa stamp, not an exemption of any kind...

Ask the staff, i did.

2019 update?

where the detergent/tablets at?

so confusing, my thai partner has just told me the english and thai versions of the same page (https://www.immigration.go.th/content/service_18) are somewhat contradictory.

the last time we tried this it ended up 2 wasted days and nothing accomplished.

i guess we'll give it another shot and go over-prepared.

wish us luck!!

oh, thanks for clarification.

i just saw tjis at the bottom;

An affidavit must also be submitted confirming the alien’s
marital or parental status with a Thai national.

do you know if this is the legitimization document (tabian lap long boot) or another in addition to it?

but i should have no issues applying in either cheang wattana or korat offices?

should it also be possible at 'any' immigration office, surat thani or chiang mai for example?

do you know if this process is possible at the immigration office at the one-stop service centre in chamchuri square building?

thx bro!!

is it the standard extension form for that?

ill give it a spin on monday

thank you very much for another swift reply.

regarding the house book, we (they) are listed in the grandparents tabian baan in korat but we reside in bkk.

Does this mean we must apply in bkk or korat, or does it not matter so long as all the documents are in order?

Cheers!

What are the requirements for a 1 year extension of SE non-o visa for a non-married parent of a (legitimized) Thai child ?

I recall mention of 400k but nothing else.

regards

2018 update or still the same process?

is there a map of this parking area at/near the bridge?

curious how one might cross from that point if its between bus stops

thats quite a journey, what are you riding?

pretty sure this has been covered but whats the requirement/s for ext. based upon non o (for child/dependent)

i recall this being next to impossible at my last attempt and giving up in frustration at multiple non-productive c.w.i.o visits.

kfc coleslaw is worse than that stuff in a squeezy bottle that doesnt need to be refrigerated.

just grate a carrot, some cabbage and add mayo. (add red cabbage for fancy)

its better than anything else youll find here.

i have experienced similar to both ends of the spectrum, insistence that im 'rich' (despite being unemployed) and therefore i should pay the bill.

as well as borderline contempt at the suggestion we split the bill regardless of the situation with the 'host' insisting quite theatrically that they will pay.

almost like a soap opera pose.

I put it down to assumed social ranking and whos trying to impress who vs whos being a sponge or just skint.

if i care at all about my dining partner/s i offer to cover it this and they pay next time... 

they accept this, ,, every time ??
