Background

I submited for a 60day tourist visa from Korea. My husband and daughters have been accepted mine keeps coming back asking for bank details. The bank accounts are in my married name and passports in my maiden name. First sent my savings and old current account and photo ID with name change it got rejected. Then I sent my personal current account with marriage certificate. It wasnt accepted. They wanted 3 months and my statements are only monthly. Then sent my married joint bank account and wedding certificate (same as I sent last time was accepted in 2023) with all three months transactions. All this was screenshot as can only add one file and they accepted it that way all the other time. Now they are asking for a statement not a screen shot.

Iam tired of the back and forth.

I dont know at this point which bank account to send or how to get one bank statement to say 3months. Most my money is in a saving account with an annual statement from last year but shows up on a statement with not enough money but was accepted for my daughter. The others are monthly do I send the monthly with the most end balance. Or the most recent end balance.

If there looking for my wages they go into wise account in different currency which iam not sure I want try find statments and open a whole new can worms.

They seen 4 bank accounts (out of the 6 I have) so they know I have enough money to support my stay and get home.

My daughter was accepted from my first bank details and a birth cirtificate which where screen shots. Husband accepted from a screen shot of his bank account and not the joint bank account.

I changed my name as I had bills and cash cheques ect in my married name but had a long time left on passport so was advised to not change it untill expires.

Can anyone tell me what it is they want so I can move on and enjoy my trip 🤔

Relocating to Thailand from USA for retirement at age 50 raises questions about my wife joining me, as she won't be 50. What type of visa would she need? Thank you.

Hi everyone, sorry, this is a long one and, possibly, an unusual question. Not sure if anyone has had similar experiences. I have finally arrived in Bangkok with my dog and have a few days before the onward journey.

Everything went well at the airport, I have my 90 day visa and the dog went straight through. To my shock however, I was told the dog can only stay 60 days!

When I apply for a visa extension, do I have to apply separately for the dog or does she have the automatic right to stay if I do?

I assumed once she had an import license, (which does not mention any time limit) that was it for her and I wouldn't have to do anything else until we eventually left.

Thanks for reading and any help and advice anyone has is greatly appreciated.

My partner and I bought insurance with Bangkok Insurance (via Bangkok Bank) yesterday. We received medical insurance cards with instructions to arrive at the hospital and present the card and ID if we ever needed to use it. Today, my partner twisted his ankle whilst running and we ended up at the hospital. He's got a nasty ligament tear and a tibia fracture. Because our insurance policy is so new (purchased yesterday afternoon), we were not in the system yet and the hospital couldn't get through to the insurers due to Songkran.

We were advised to pay for all bills and claim back. Obviously, we did this so that he could receive treatment.

Does anyone know the process to claim back medical expenses with Bangkok Insurance, when ideally we should have been covered immediately? We have all receipts, medical reports etc.

Assuming we meet all criteria and evidence, will they just pay directly into his bank account the full amount?

Thanks!
