Hi, I’m hoping somebody can help. 

TOURIST VISA- travelling around SE ASIA 

How do I answer  question 8 & 9? Do I have to get a visa before hand if I want to stay longer than 30 days, or can I go to an immigration office when there? I’ll be coming to Thailand on 16th May (from the Uk and hold a UK passport)

so the 30 day visa exempt with an extension would do. Or a tourist visa you get before you arrive.

can 8 be the same statement I use for the question which asks how much money I have in my account? Or could I use a salary payslip?

8 is confirmation of your employment status, ie, employed, self-employed, student or retired, it's NOT a bank statement

I will be unemployed as I’ll be leaving my job to travel then coming back to it. Is it a letter from my employed that I need? Or can I use a pay slip? P60
