Visa For Citizens of The Philippines

[AAArdvark]

My understanding is that a citizen of the Philippines can arrive in Thailand without a visa and stay up to 30 days.  They need proof of return travel and they cannot extend the 30 days.

There is a Tourist visa available at the Thai Embassy which is good for 90 days although it might be 60 + 30.  The visa application is very straight forward but the list of requirements is typically vague and there is some sort of "supplemental form for Filipinos" that I cannot find. 

"2. Bank Certification or Online Bank Statement (Minimum of 1000USD or any equivalent)

3. Employment Certification: if employed in the Philippines Student Certificate: if studying in the Philippines Marriage Certificate: if married to a Filipino Business Registration: if the applicant have his/her own business in the Philippines"

Most Filipinos do not have such a bank account

For item 3, it seems to infer that they are looking for proof of return but it isn't specific.

So I have a few questions for anyone who has actually done this.

What is the supplemental form?

Is there any workaround for the 1000USD?

Is at least one of certifications in item 3 required?

Is the 90 tourist visa extendable?

The can extend the 30 day visa exempt entry the get for 30 days at immigration since there entries are under the standard visa exempt scheme.

Perhaps somebody with recent experience of applying for a visa there will be able to help with your visa questions.

I am certain there is no way around $1000 requirement.
