If you are asked to come in for an interview, and they ask to see your bank balance, can I just pull it up on the mobile app on my phone?

Do they ask to see the actual statements through the mobile app, or do they reference names and account numbers from the mobile app? Or is it just a quick balance check?

On my mobile banking app it doesn't even say a name or anything. It just has my balance and account number.

Question:

"How long does it generally take to get a work visa for Germany? My wife applied on February 19th. What is our estimate for how long the process will take to get the visa?"

Hi. So now with the new e-visa regulations, as I have read, you must show proof of funds to get marriage non-o single entry visa (90 days) too, is that right? Is that like that in all the thai consulates? Also is the processing time now 10-15 days? So what are you supposed to do? live in Laos 2 weeks?

This is the first time I have to renew my visa since the new regulations. Appreciate if someone who did it can advise and if there is a way around it. Thanks!

Hi all, I'm applying for the DTV and struggling with the 3MB file limit. I already downsized some of my files on the initial application, and they came back with 'please check document quality' comment. But there's no way I can add the requested 6 months banking history in good quality within 3MB.

What would you advise in this case?

Edit: I already compressed some of them to the smallest size using Photoshop on my initial application, but in the following request for additional info they wrote "Check your document quality". So I'm confused. How about sending the large pdfs to the embassy by email? Or by google drive and add a link in the PDF?

What are the current rules on getting extra time in Thailand by doing a Laos/Myanmar border bounce ie used to just walk out of Thailand and walk back only took about 30-45 min to get processed BUT when getting my family visa in Chiang Rai (prior to that had my tourist visa and its extension) the immigration officer told me now need to stay out of Thailand for 2 nights before I can return.

Appreciated if someone could let me know the current amount of time I need to stay out - I preferred the in/out but if needed will book a hotel. All the best.

I have a visa extension (spouse visa) coming up but will not have a valid rental contract as we'll be living in one of my relatives condo (who is a foreigner) for at least 6 months.

Is there anything that we can do to prove our residence without a rental contract?
