Well, after 5 years here I have to move back to the states. I'm wondering whats the cheapest way to send my stuff back to the states (boat maybe?). Is it more cost effective just to sell my things here and buy again? I pretty much accumulated all the normal household items, furniture, iMac, etc... Or maybe just ship some things? Anyone suggestions appreciated and if anyone has any recommendations for shipping companies please let me know.

Sorry... I'm looking for some thing in Bangkok. No particular area in the city.

Anyone know of any condo's that allow a large dog (Golden Retriever) in the 20k a month range?

No, I'm an American citizen. 7by7, you're probably right, the documents I provided are probably more than whats needed but I'd rather have too much than too little. Also, this might be worth mentioning to people applying for a UK tourist visa. I provided a similar set of documents last year for my wife and I to go to the UK for a holiday, same results, we received the visa in 3 days.

Hi everyone, we just went through the process of applying for a schengen visa for my wife and I to go on a vacation to Europe. It was a very easy process that only took 3 days to get the visa but it took me a week to find all the information about the documents to provide. The embassy website only describes the bare minimum set of documents and after reading through peoples experiences on the net I was able to compile a list of the documents we eventually provided. So I thought it would be helpful to write a post.

Our trip includes visiting several countries. Because we will be spending the most time in Italy we had to apply through the company VFS which Italy uses to handle their short term visa applications. The rule is to apply to the embassy where you will be spending the most amount of days, if the days are divided equally between countries then you apply to the first port of entry. We will be taking a Mediterranean cruise which also goes to Istanbul so we needed to apply for a Multiple Entry visa.

Here's what we eventually ended up providing to the embassy. I noticed many people applying for their visa didn't have as many documents as we had and they probably all aren't necessary but I'd rather provide too much than too little. Please note, when we picked up her visa they did not return any documents so it's important to only give them copies of the documents.

* Copy of wife's passport signature/photo page

* Copy of my passport signature/photo page

* Health insurance policy taken out for 1 month from Muang Thai Insurance (make sure you tell them it's for a schengen visa)

* Marriage Certificate (Thai & English translation)

* Birth Certificate (Thai & English translation)

* Bank Statements for the last 4 months (we provided our joint bank account and her own bank account statements)

* Letter of Guarantee (this basically says I will cover all expenses for her, it also states what I do for a job and my salary)

* 3 Months of my paychecks (for the letter of guarantee)

* Letter from my employer stating I currently work at the company

* Airline reservations (you don't need to purchase a ticket, just contact a local travel agency to reserver tickets... cheaptickets or mox travel will do it)

* Hotel reservations (again, you don't need to purchase the hotel, you can use booking.com or the holiday inn website to make your reservation)

* Cruise reservation (you will need to pay the deposit but its usually fully refundable if the cruise is more than 70 days away. This also depends on the cruise company. The tricky part about this is you can only apply for the schengen visa if you are travelling less than 90 days from the date you apply so you only have a 20 day window to apply for the visa without loosing your cruise deposit)

* I typed up our entire itinerary on a piece of paper including every day where we would be staying (city & hotel name)

* I provided a cover letter summarizing what the purpose of the trip is going to be and what type of visa we were requesting

* House Registration (Thai & English translation)

I hope this post helps some people. The thing to keep in mind is to provide any useful information to the examiner in an organized fashion, basically anything that will make their job easier. I wanted to type out the application but the copy of the application on the VFS website was in Microsoft Excel. No idea why they used a spreadsheet program to create the application, but I was able to download a PDF version from the Italian Embassy website.

Hi All,

I'm looking for people with iPads that would like to test a new Thai language app I have made. It's for beginners who do not know any Thai.

Please message me if you are interested.

ok, thanks lopburi3

yeah i don't think they have that. I just want to know if its possible to get a one month extension. I have to go back to the states at the end of feb, but my stamp on my passport expires feb 6th so i'm trying to avoid buying a plane ticket to KL. The ticket prices on air asia to KL seem to be really expensive now.

I have a 1 year work permit and I've been leaving the country every 3 months. I've been told that I can just go to some government office to get a new stamp in my passport instead of leaving the country every 3 months, can anyone confirm this?

Also does anyone know if its possible to get a 1 month extension on my stamp in my passport?

Thanks!

Yamaha Mio 2009 hardly ever used. 1,331 km. 30,000 baht. Selling because I never use it.

My friend sent me a letter from the states but he didn't put my full address. He forgot to include the sub soi. For example, if I lived on Thonglor, Soi 8. He only put Sukhumvit 55, but didn't include Soi 8, however he did put my house number. Does anyone know if this letter would still get delivered?

Hi,

My wife currently has her green card, it was a conditional green card and is set to expire in March. We moved back to Thailand so we need to give it back and apply for a 10 year tourist visa. Can someone tell me or point me to a link that has information on what I need to do such as where to make the appointment and what forms need to be filled out. I recall something about if my wife and I are currently living in Thailand, the procedure is different than if I were living in the US and she was living in Thailand. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Brett

Hi, I'm posting this question for a friend of mine..

His wife had a 6 month visa to the UK. It already expired. She wants a 2 year visa, does anybody know if all the paper work has to be resubmitted. And what paper work needs to be submitted for a 2 year? He pretty much wants to know if he needs to re-submit all the paperwork again even though she's already had a 6 month visa.

Any links to websites / information would be appreciated.

Thanks!

well, were going to be providing contracting services, I don't expect for the company to get too much work at first. Possibly not even a contracting job some months. It seems a bit expensive to me to pay 4,000 baht a month when we won't even be making money some months. If its not very difficult, just a matter of filing out a couple pieces of paper, I would prefer to do it.

Is there a website out there or does some one know whats forms are required for the monthly accounting? Does some one have an example form? I don't wish to pay an accounting firm to do this paperwork every month if its just a couple of forms that need to be filled out.

Thanks!

Does anyone know of a furniture store or factory that sells the carved wooden furniture, asian style? I'm specifically looking for a couch/sofa, bedframe and dining room set. I like the asian carved wood style, but can only seem to find modern furniture styles.

Does anyone know of a site that lists the requirements that a taxi must meet in order to be a licensed taxi?

I just got my electric bill and I was shocked, 6,960 bht for 1 month for a 105 sqm condo. I've read different condos charge different amount for electricity. Can some one tell me where I should look on the bill for this? I see it has some thai writing and then says (Ft) and below that it says 62.85.

Then I see it says:

150 (1 - 150): 270.705

250 (151 - 400): 694.525

1455: 4,332.990

this is obviously a breakdown but I'm just not sure what it means. Any help would be appreciated.

Any good stores in bangkok that have a wide variety of office desks?
