All I have is an SMS.   And an email that just says my registration was completed. 

I contacted them via their one stop service via their website, actually asking about which vaccine.

They replied by email, fairly quickly, confirming the appointment and the vaccine, I'll print that email.

@polpottDo you have the Bangkok Bank App, there is an option to transfer funds to the UK and to access their Western Union Service.

I haven't tried either service with them, but I have used the Kasikorn App which has a similar service and works seamlessly.

Dee Money, as others have said, works well but you need to be in Thailand to open an account.

You can send cash online to the UK via Western Union from a Debit Card, you do have to register, I haven't used them but it looks pretty straight forward. https://www.westernunion.com/th/en/send-money.html?src=gg___&utm_content=sdc_pcrid_398394828191_mt_e_kw_western union thailand&gclid=Cj0KCQjw6NmHBhD2ARIsAI3hrM11PL9Zd-sVI1p_hA-IOejavy3QwYLnJSSSYyawoJVJGKkr9KYEiMoaAk17EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

You’ve posted this in the wrong place, this is for those seeking advice for visas to countries other than Thailand.

I’ll move it for you.

You have to apply at the Embassy of whichever country you will first visit.  

That's not so, as I clarified earlier the applicant must apply via the Consulate with Juristiction for the main destination within the Schengen Area, for example if they are intending to fly into Paris, spend a few days there before travelling to Italy where they intend spending a week, they should apply via the Italian Consulate.

If however they are travelling and spending an equal amount of time in more than one Member State, then they should apply via the Consulate with Juristiction for the Entry Point in the Schengen Area, unless of course their entry point is their main destination.

I believe you can use two employments, have a look at the Financial Requirements for Category B, from page 23 in the attached.

can an American sponsor a Thai person to go to EU? 

Yes they can, particularly if they're travelling with them.

I'm not sure that sponsoring is actually the appropriate term, you or whoever are actually providing financial support to cover the cost of the trip.

The applicant should demonstrate that they heve sufficient funds to cover the cost of the trip, some Member States have an actual daily amount. If somebody else is paying for the trip, they will need to demonstrate that they have sufficient funds and that it's appropriate for them to do so.

The applicant will need to demonstrate that they have sufficient funds for the duration of the trip, adequate insurance, booked accomodation for the duration as well as flight tickets to and from their home to the Schengen Area. If they intend visiting country, the UK for instance, they should apply for that visa first.

It's imperative that the applicant demonstrates strong ties to their own country, or country of residence.

Spain requires sponsor to have residence TIE and police letter. Pain.

Italy requires only residence for sponsor. Form & Process Real Easy.

Whilst a person sponsoring an applicant for a Schengen Visa may well have to provide supporting documents, not all Thai applicants are sponsored, and as in the case of the OP, who is not a EU National, sponsors do not have to provide the evidence to which you refer.

No fee from BB if you do it with Transferwise (they charge about 300$) and no limit

There are limits of how much can be received, it's in the region of 2m Baht, it depends on which country.

Before you leave for the UK

My wife applied for, and was issued, two without an problem.

Providing they meet the criteria, finances, insurance, travel and accommodation  details, and can satisfy the decision maker of their reasons to return home, there’s every reason they’ll be issued with a visa.

Thanks for the copy, but that credit advice was for a swift transfer.

I needed a copy of a credit advice for a bahtnet transfer or is it the same?

As I said that was from Wise who record Bangkok Bank transfers as if they’re FTT, even though they’re not strictly so.

With Bahtnet I think the only difference will be Bahtnet will be in the line where mine shows FTT, IO’s should know that Bahtnet is compliant.

Is there anybody that can please help me? This is very important! Thank you

This was via Wise, last year the IO insisted on one, this year a different IO just wanted the bank book and a statement.

  I have just read through it. One thing I'm still not sure about. We have been married since 2019. Lived together for 1 year in Thailand.  Is the living together for 2 years still applicable? Or is that just for applying as a fiancé? Thank you

The living together for two years option is for those who are not actually married but have been living together for two years or more in a relationship akin to marriage.

You will note in the link BB helpfully provided that "You must be able to prove one of the following"

What you’ll need to prove

You must be able to prove one of the following:

• you’re in a civil partnership or marriage that’s recognised in the UK, or
• you’ve been living together in a relationship akin to a marriage for at least 2 years when you apply, or
• you are a fiancé, fiancée or proposed civil partner and will marry or enter into a civil partnership in the UK within 6 months of arriving

I think what the hospital authorities are primarily interested in is the ID number on the pink card for which in most cases the yellow book is needed.I don't understand why this is seen as so important but that's the reality we have to deal with.

This is a prime example of the inconsistency of managing this process up and down the country.

I live in Hua Hin where the local hospital have adopted a virtual ID Card system, they have basically picked a number for the first applicant and then add one for each applicant, this seems to work and allows me to check my place in the queue, there's currently 2,000 people in front of me.

I think the local hospital are managing the process pretty well, and are only scuppered when the expected vaccines fail to arrive.

To travel to the UK if Thailand goes onto the Red list is pretty much the same apart from having to pre-book a quarantine hotel at a cost of £1650 (or £2600 for a couple)

Any person accompanying a British Citizen from a Red Zone would need to be a British Citizen themselves or have residency rights in the UK.

, you would only be exempt from 14 day self quarantining (in the U.K) if you have been full vaccinated .

That only applies to UK Residents returning from travel to and from those amber listed countries.
